Osprey Dyna 15 Women's Hydration Vest for Running Review

Not long ago I got an Osprey Raven 14 and fell in love. Not the first package I've fallen in love with. I have a large, serious MountainSmith multi-day pack that I still love after years of use. In fact, this Osprey Raven isn't the first Osprey kit I've really, really liked. Osprey seems to make a lot of excellent backpacks. However, I was surprised at how quickly I found something even better than the Raven - the Dyna 15. I'd like to point out that the Raven is meant for cycling, but I loved…

Quality product... more than I wanted. I returned because I felt it was more like a vest for day hikes due to the large backpack.

I finally got that back and this one and HALLELUJAH! This one did everything I wanted and I'm so glad I didn't settle for less. Unbelievable things: - Compression straps to keep your load close to your body - a must for me - Shoulder straps should be wide enough not to dig in anywhere but hold tight - A couple of separate…

This vest is awesome and I love it. I'm much taller than the listed size, I'm wearing a top 18 and jeans 20, but the vest fits well. The shoulder bags don't protrude as far forward when fully chambered, but are still comfortable when properly adjusted. I'd recommend trying it with and without a full bladder (or something similar in size and weight) in the hydration sleeve and with a decent amount of weight in the main pocket before committing to it. The bag has many great pockets and even the…
