Technical packs with product development rooted in Colorado.
Mike Pfotenhauer began sewing custom packs in Santa Cruz and later moved Osprey to Colorado. The company’s identity rests on fit, ventilated suspension and packs tuned for distinct outdoor activities.
Three products that define Osprey.
A backpacking pack known for its suspended mesh back panel.
A carry-on travel pack with a stowable harness.
A light day pack for hiking and active use.
