Osprey Stratos 36 Backpack

When day hikes stretch out into more committing endeavours, the Stratos 36 Backpack is the perfect size for your essentials and then some. Its top-loading design, topped by a fixed top lid, helps make packing a breeze. Plus, with its highly ventilated AirSpeed suspension system and just enough volume to empower your bigger pursuits, it inspires long days and lightweight nights exploring our more rugged trails, rain or shine.

Designed for all-day comfort when hiking in the hills, the Stratos 36 features a fully adjustable AirSpeed ventilated back system which works to excellently transfer weight for a more comfortable and lightweight feel. This injection-moulded suspension system with 3D-tensioned mesh provides superior ventilation even on the hottest hikes so that you can remain comfortable throughout the warm days. Constructed using tough, durable Nylon fabrics, the backpack is built to last. In addition to this, a rain cover that is included with the pack is ideal for when you get caught out in heavier rain. The Stratos 36 features an easily accessible fixed-top lid main compartment with a large drawcord that ensures unhindered access and easy entry for the contents of the pack. A hydration sleeve and a little clip help to prevent a bladder from dropping down. A hose port in the back panel allows for quick and easy hydration whilst on the move. The pack features Stow-On-The-Go trekking pole attachments to store your trekking poles and ice axe safely when not in use. The Stratos 36 also features a zipped mesh pocket with an internal key clip for safe and secure storage of items you may need to reach more quickly, two stretch mesh side pockets large enough to hold an insulating layer or a bottle, and dual zipped pockets on the hip belt. As well as this, the front of the pack features a large, zipped pocket perfect for wet clothing that you may need to access quickly if the weather takes a turn. Accessory straps feature on the front panel and are perfect for storing a towel or blanket while a zippered access lower compartment with a floating liner keeps contents more organised and accessible. The hip belt and shoulder straps feature a die-cut foam reinforcement to provide stability, support and ventilation that flex around your body for increased comfort. The hip belt is teamed with a built-in, adjustable sternum strap to help spread the load by transferring it to these areas and away from your shoulders. Taller, wider frame geometry combines with a tailored adjustment system to extend the fit range for additional support and comfort. Lastly, dual-sided compression straps pull the weight closer to your back to increase comfort and carrying efficiency. These straps also prevent your gear from moving about when the pack is not full and can be used inside or outside of the side pockets depending on your need.
