>>2457989The Exos is the best pack Osprey makes. It hits that perfect middle ground between weight, durability, usefulness, and comfort. Their other packs are a bit on the heavier side because their loaded down with extra pockets.
Great find for $100. This is the model they discontinued last year (which is why they’re on sale), and started making around 2018. The model before it had hip belt pockets, shoulder strap pockets, and thicker padding. The latest model brought back the hip pockets and introduced an adjustable height suspension.
>lash your trekking poles to the packMost Osprey packs have a feature that lets you stow them on your side while wearing the pack. See pic.
