Osprey Stratos 36 Rucksack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Osprey’s Stratos 36 Rucksack is a durable and comfortable pack for day excursions and possible overnights if the rest of your gear is minimalist.

Osprey says

When day hikes stretch out into more committing endeavors, the Stratos 36 is the perfect size for your essentials and then some. Its top-loading design, topped by a fixed top lid, helps make packing a breeze. Plus, with its highly ventilated AirSpeed suspensions system and just enough volume to empower your bigger pursuits, it inspires long days and lightweight nights exploring our more rugged trails, rain or shine. Made with 100% recycled materials.

Our Verdict

Osprey’s Stratos 36 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, at 36 litres it’s a day pack with the possibility of doing overnighters or more adventurous activities.
