Description

Why We Like The Osprey Exos Pro 55L Backpack

To optimize weight and comfort for our longest through-hikes, Osprey fine-tuned the Exos to create the Exos Pro 55L Backpack. This backpack is designed with ultralightness in mind, shedding nearly a pound off the original weight and even more when the lid is removed. From the inside out, this backpack offers supportive features that allow us to manage a week's load and adjust capacity, balance, and organization as needed.

Osprey's comfort-focused carrying system starts with their AirSpeed suspension. The tensioned-mesh back panel provides a supportive fit and ample space for cool airflow on long hikes. The lumbar area is enhanced with a silicone print that helps the hip belt grip more steadily, so the foam belt can stretch and move with our hips without slipping. The spacer mesh shoulder straps are also ventilated, ensuring airflow all around our torsos.
