Osprey Stratos 26 Rucksack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Osprey’s Stratos 26 Rucksack is a durable and comfortable pack for day excursions.

Osprey says

Slimmed down, but just as capable as its larger counterparts, the Stratos 26 is a tough pack with a light and ventilated carry thanks to its AirSpeed suspension system and sustainable materials. Its panel-loading convenience works in tandem with internal organisation that makes it perfect for shorter, lightweight day hikes on rough and tumble trails, no matter the weather.

Our Verdict

Osprey’s Stratos 26 Rucksack is not an ultralight product, it’s a really solid rucksack that is durable with a full feature set and a decent fully adjustable harness with vented back. The hip fins wrap well around the hips and the weight transfer is good, so this is a good solid choice, although at only 26 litres its really only suitable as a day pack.
