Osprey Tempest Backpack

Yes, the 22-liter capacity is ideal for day hikes where you need to carry essentials like extra layers, a first aid kit, snacks, and a hydration reservoir. It is designed specifically for high-output activities, so it keeps the weight close to your body to prevent fatigue.

This pack is designed with a shorter torso length and a harness shape that contours to a woman's shoulders and chest more naturally. The hip belt is also angled to better accommodate the shape of female hips, ensuring the weight is distributed comfortably and doesn't shift while you move.

Absolutely. The Tempest is built for agility, and its close-to-body fit and AirScape backpanel make it stable enough for technical trails. It also features external attachment points for gear, making it versatile for multi-sport use.

Yes, the external hydration sleeve is located between the main compartment and the backpanel, allowing you to refill your reservoir without unpacking your gear. It is designed for quick access so you can stay hydrated without breaking your stride.

With dimensions of 20.1 x 11.4 x 11.4 inches, it is generally considered carry-on compliant for most major airlines. However, if you pack it to maximum capacity, the depth might make it a tight squeeze under smaller regional aircraft seats.

No, the Tempest does not include a dedicated rain cover. While the pack is made from water-resistant, bluesign-approved recycled nylon with a PFAS-free DWR coating to shed light moisture, you will need to purchase a separate rain cover if you plan on hiking in heavy or sustained downpours.
