Why We Love the Osprey Zealot 45L Backpack

The Osprey Zealot 45L Backpack is our top choice for big days at the crag. It offers a plethora of organizational options, including a versatile rope tarp that also functions as a convenient deck for spreading out our gear.

Designed with convenience in mind, this backpack provides easy access to the main compartment from both the top and a duffel-like opening on the side. This ensures that we spend more time on belay and less time searching for our essential items like goggles.
