Big enough for an overnighter, small enough for day trips, the Osprey Stratos 40 Backpack is a do-it-all all-star of mid-size packs. The sophisticated AirCore suspension offers support that easily handles loads up to 30 lbs. and the hipbelt even does double duty, providing small mesh pockets for handy storage of snacks, sunscreen, etc. Varied load configurations are a cinch thanks to side pockets, compression straps, and a floating top pocket. Jam a water bottle into a side pocket, and then later in the day use the same side pocket and compression strap to carry your trekking poles. Meanwhile the floating top pocket extends to accommodate gear intensive endeavors. A zippered left front pocket allows for access to the main compartment, often a faster method of reaching buried gear than digging down from the main top access.

You'll find reinforcement fabric along the shoulder and arm in key abrasion areas and external fleece lined pockets to warm your digits and quickly stow some gear. This is expedition-quality protection for severe winter weather and high altitude conditions.
