Osprey Exos Backpack

The Exos 38 is designed for ultralight setups, performing best with a total load between 20 and 25 pounds. Exceeding this weight may compromise the comfort of the suspension system.

Yes, the top lid is fully removable. You can use the integrated FlapJacket cover to secure the main compartment and protect your gear when you want to shed extra weight or reduce the pack's profile.

The AirSpeed suspension creates a tensioned mesh back panel that keeps the pack body off your back, significantly increasing airflow. Because the frame is curved to facilitate this ventilation, it is important to adjust the torso length properly to ensure the hip belt sits correctly on your iliac crest.

While it features dual ice axe loops and bungee tie-offs, it is primarily designed as an ultralight thru-hiking pack. It lacks the heavy-duty abrasion resistance and volume required for bulky winter gear, so it is best suited for three-season backpacking.

Yes, the pack includes an internal hydration sleeve located against the back panel, along with a center-back hose port for easy routing of your hydration tube.

Yes, both the dual compression straps and the sleeping pad straps are removable. This allows you to strip the pack down to its bare essentials if you are looking to save every possible ounce.
