Over the last three years, I’ve started backpacking. And above everything else, I’ve realized how expensive it can be. In addition to obtaining backcountry licenses, a lightweight tent, food supplies and must-have survival tools, a high-quality backpacking pack is costly—but crucial. So, when I saw that Amazon has Osprey Trek backpacks on sale for Cyber Monday Weekend, I couldn’t gatekeep it.
Osprey’s Farpoint Trek backpack hold up to 75 liters of supplies, which is more than adequate for slightly longer excursions. Its hip-belt strap situates the pack comfortably on your hips, whether you’re hiking through mountains or trekking through cities. It has compartments for a water bladder, as well as hip-belt pockets for smaller essentials. And if it rains, everything stays dry with the AirCover. It’s waterproof and shields everything from the elements.
And although some backpacks absorb your sweat (especially on those gnarly August trips), Osprey’s features AirSpeed suspension. Basically, a tensioned mesh back panel separates the bag from your body. This simultaneously keeps the weight off your back and maintains airflow all at once. Meanwhile, outer straps on the outside can carry extra items that don’t fit in the bag.
With an impressive 4.7 stars and more than 200 reviews, shoppers really seem to appreciate the pack’s durability and functionality. “Easily the best backpack I’ve ever had—and it even works as a carry-on bag,” one shopper raves. “Even completely full, it feels light as a feather.”
Whether you’re already an experienced backpacker or if you’re looking to start, this is your chance to get a new pack for less. At 25% off, the cost comes down from $270 to just $203. We’re sold.
