Osprey Tempest 33l Dame Rygsæk

Bought this backpack for an 11-day trip to Italy - traveled to Venice for a day before hiking the Alta Via 1 (70-miles in 7 days). This backpack was the perfect size for a hut to hut trip. The two hip pockets were big enough for an iPhone 16 as well as to hold a protein bar, gel, and chapstick. The mesh pocket on the outside perfectly fit a pair of Bomba slide sandals (size 7). The pack’s size was the right size for a British Airway carryon.

Super disappointed in this revamped design from Osprey. The Tempest is comfortable as always, but the company has relocated the hydraulics system inside the pack, when it was previously located outside on the back panel. Tried hiking with this for 3 days hoping I would get used to it, but the hose just kept getting in the way and caught under my load, rendering it useless until I could stop on the trail and reposition things inside (and get chewed up by mosquitos in the process). I wanted to love this, but will probably end up having to return it and consider another brand.
