Osprey Tempest 20 Women's Hiking Pack

Product Information

Models geared toward women tend to have less space between the straps and feature a more exaggerated S-curve that better accommodates a narrower physique. It doesn’t matter whether you want it for weekends away, hiking in the wilderness or commuting on your bike, this backpack will fulfill all of your needs and more. This back panel is combined with a seamless hipbelt that wraps around your body from the lumbar spine and clips in at the front of your torso. Sometimes adjustments will need to be made on the go depending on the terrain or the load you are carrying. Furthermore, it has all of the attachment options you could possibly need, with Osprey’s LidLock helmet attachment, Stow-On-The-Go trekking pole attachment and an ice-tool loop with bungee tie-offs.

We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. If you plan to hike a while with your poles stowed like that, we recommend fiddling with the poles to find a comfortable fit. It has a webbing-only hip belt that is meant to stabilize your load rather than take the weight off of your shoulders.The mesh on the Osprey Sirrus 24 never chafed (we did have a shirt on at all times), and it's impressive how cool it kept our backs — even in the sweltering summer months of the desert southwest. Osprey's Stow on the Go system is a quick fix for getting your poles out of your hands during a temporary scramble on the trail. Most of the packs we tested have one ice ax holder, which seems like a standard addition to a daypack even though only a fraction of hikers even use one. We like this pack for commuting in the city thanks to the bike helmet attachment point and low-profile design.

The Tempest 20 has everything you need for day hikes, commuting, biking and day sightseeing, that’s for sure. Rarely do you find a hiking bag that accommodates multiple uses but that isn’t the case with the Talon 22L.The large mesh pocket on the back of the pack is excellent for holding wet items or anything you don’t want to put inside the backpack. We always try to test a range of products to be able to recommend great products across the spectrum.
