Materials and Construction
Main Body: 420D Recycled Nylon
The main body fabric is Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 420D nylon with a PFAS-free DWR treatment.
The 420D construction balances durability and weight, offering resistance to abrasion and handling stress during transit. The PFAS-free DWR finish helps moisture bead off the surface rather than soaking into the fabric, without relying on long-lasting fluorinated chemicals traditionally used in water-repellent treatments.
Bottom Panel: 1680D Recycled High-Tenacity Nylon
The reinforced base uses Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 1680D high-tenacity nylon — a significantly higher denier fabric designed for high-abrasion zones. This strengthens the pack where it encounters rough surfaces, conveyor belts and repeated ground contact.
Liner: 200D Recycled Polyester
The interior lining uses Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 200D polyester with PFAS-free DWR treatment. This lightweight yet durable fabric maintains structure and supports responsible manufacturing standards.
Backpanel and Harness Mesh: Recycled Polyester
All mesh components are Bluesign-approved and made from 100% recycled polyester, enhancing breathability and reducing environmental impact.
All primary fabrics meet Bluesign approval, ensuring responsible chemical management, reduced water and energy consumption and safer production standards.
Features
WingJacket Compression System
Osprey's signature dual-strap WingJacket compression system wraps around the pack with padded sidewalls, securing contents and stabilising loads. When the pack isn't fully loaded, the compression system reduces bulk for a cleaner profile.
Large Duffel-Style Opening
A wide, panel-loading main compartment provides easy packing and full visibility of contents, simplifying organisation compared to traditional top-loading designs.
Direct-Zip 3-1-1 Pocket
Quick-access zip pocket allows easy retrieval of liquids or travel essentials during airport security checks.
Front Zippered Valuables Pocket
Includes a key clip for securing small essentials, such as a passport, wallet or keys.
Front Shove-It Pocket
Convenient stretch pocket for stashing a jacket, document folder or other quick-access items.
Stowaway Harness and Hipbelt
Deployable padded harness and hipbelt allow comfortable backpack carry when navigating stairs, cobblestones or uneven terrain. Both tuck away cleanly for strap-free travel when checking or storing the pack.
AirScape Backpanel
High-density moulded foam backpanel provides ergonomic support and improved load stability for comfortable carry.
Load Lifters
Load lifter straps help pull the pack closer to your body, balancing weight and reducing shoulder strain.
Internal Organisation
Interior mesh and liner pockets provide simple separation for clothing and travel accessories.
Internal Compression Strap
Internal strap secures contents and prevents shifting during transit.
Padded Grab Handles
Top and side-padded grab handles make lifting into overhead bins or vehicle compartments easy.
Carry-On Compliant Size
Designed to meet most international airline carry-on requirements. (Always check with your airline.)
Suspension and Carry System
Harness
The padded harness is constructed from lightweight, breathable spacer mesh that promotes airflow while maintaining structured support for all-day comfort. An adjustable sternum strap helps stabilise the load across the chest and includes an integrated safety whistle for added functionality. Load lifter straps let you fine-tune how the pack sits on your back, drawing the weight closer to your body to reduce shoulder strain and improve balance. When not in use, the entire harness system stows neatly, creating a streamlined, strap-free profile for travel.
Hipbelt
The webbing hipbelt features padded hipwings designed to transfer weight from the shoulders to the hips, enhancing stability when the pack is fully loaded. Osprey's Crossbody ErgoPull™ system enables a precise, secure fit that improves load transfer and overall carrying efficiency. Like the harness, the hipbelt can be fully stowed when you prefer a cleaner silhouette for airport or urban travel.
