Description:
Streamlined, impressively strong, and built specifically for your vertical endeavors, Osprey's Variant 28 backpack uses a strong-yet-flexible aluminum stay and a thermo-formed backpanel for comfortable support.

  • Find places for your essential gear with ice tool attachments, 3 point haul loops, wand pockets and adjustable front tool handle tieoffs
  • Keep your aqua within easy reach in the hydration sleeve
  • Stay safe with reflective logoing and a sternum strap whistle

Comments about Osprey Packs Variant 28 Backpack:

I've been looking for a good all-purpose mountain day pack for some time, and this one is excellent. No extra straps yet I've fit snowshoes, hiking poles, avalanche shovel and skis on the outside, although not all at once! At 5'7" with a very long torso, I typically fit between a medium and a large, but for this pack, the medium is perfect. No complaints at all!
