OSPREY TEMPEST 20 FULL
OSPREY TEMPEST 20 SERIES

Size-wise there are two choices Extra Small/Small and Medium/Large. This pack comes in some great colours Aluminum Grey, Stealth Black, Jasper Green as well as Violac Purple which is the colour I have (of course) – I just love deep, dark purples! Another potential negative is there’s no rain cover but this is a feature that can always be added on. However the ventilated mesh hybrid back panel, which adjusts to your torso length and ensures a customised fit (Airscape® Suspension), provides great back support and cushions you from the water bladder.Īt AUD$199.90 RRP this is an expensive day pack so you’re really going to have to love it to justify that investment. Space-wise it also helps that the hydration pocket is external to the pack which I’ve never been a fan of given I’m a bit fussy about ‘feeling’ things on my back. This pack also has two generous side stretch mesh pockets which make it easy to stow and remove bottles and other items, as well as a rear stow compartment that is also stretchy for quick stowing on-the-go. I have still have plenty of compartments for smaller items such as snacks in the two very generous hip pockets, a smaller stretch pocket of the shoulder strap where I keep hand sanitiser, a top pocket handy for gloves and beanie, and an internal pocket inside the main compartment for valuables.

What I discovered was that for day hiking, one larger compartment met my needs much better. It just seemed too small and didn’t have as many compartments as the Sirrus. I have to confess I was more than a little sceptical about the size of this pack. What more can you ask for? Well I didn’t know what I was missing until I tested out Osprey’s Tempest 20 litre pack. I have been using the Osprey Sirrus 24 Women’s Day Pack on my day hikes and I loved it. It does not store any personal data.Sometimes you don’t know what you’re missing until you try something new.
