OspreyRook 65L Men's Backpacking Backpack, Dark Charcoal/Silver Lining

Overall this backpack has fantastic value, unbeatable in terms of $$. It's really high quality (and Osprey in my opinion makes some of the most high-quality gear). The price is low compared to equivalent backpacks yet it has a premium feel to it all. Zippers are very sturdy and the fabric is tough and doesn't tear. Lots of padding on the belt and shoulders.I used it on a 4 day backpacking trip starting with 35 pounds of gear/food/water. It fit my bear canister sideways no problem.Pros:- Favorite feature is the Airscape back system, this is one of the main reasons i went wiith this bag.- I ended up loving the angled water bottle pockets on each side, made it very convenient to drink without stopping.- Comfortable up to 35 lbs.- Has all the adjustments you would expect for custom fit.- Large and sturdy, good fabric and zippers (it's surprising how they did not cut corners on quality for this lower-cost backpack).- Built-in rain cover is convenient, i did end up using it for very light rain.- "Sleeping bag" compartment accessible from bottom/outside divider can be removed for a larger main compartment.Cons:- No large outer mesh pocket- No access to main compartment from the back- Is not an ultra-light backpack (3.7 lbs.).Overall i highly recommend this backpack as an upgrade to keep for a long time, or as a first backpack if you're looking for what to get. You will not be dissapointed

Super comfy, good space, it’s got the Osprey quality. I have hiked a couple times over 4/5 miles and never felt uncomfortable.

Purchased for the intent of walking upwards of 20 miles in a single day, whether it's a backpacking pleasure trip, or a grab-and-go bag. The fit is great and packing capabilities similarly outstanding. I've taken it on a few smaller 10 mile day outings fully loaded to 'shake it out', and it has preformed splendidly. While there might be reviews regarding how it carries—whether it fits like a glove or rides rough—you must remember everyone's body is different. Fortunately, it worked well for me, and at the price point I don't think it can be beat. Very pleased, and may consider a second eventually.

Ran my old off-brand pack through the ringer and decided it was time to upgrade.This pack seemed to have a good ratio of price to quality. Just came in today, looks and feels exactly as expected, and a day early at that.This thing holds a ton, much more than you'd need for an overnighter, suitable for a multi-day outing.I bring a large 0 Degree sleeping bag for winter time, and it's been a struggle, even with a high quality compression sack, to fit that thing into either of the two packs I've used before. A real wrestle, almost a two man job. This thing, the Rook 65, swallowed it up and looked good doing it. Stacked and packed all around it and was left with a shapely package that simply floats on your back.Adjistability is more than most need, and it even has a built in slip compartment for hydration bladders, something I hadn't even considered purchasing, now I kind of want one. That compartment takes up zero space when unused, of course.The side webbing for bottles and such even has a second opening that faces front, so reaching back for a drink while wearing the pack is easy. I use it for my bear spray, quick access. Plenty of additional compression straps along the outside as well.Will update after I take it out for a real test! Pleased so far.

Lightweight, but durable construction

We have tested this backpack right away going on a hike at the remote beach during a cold and windy winter day. The backpack is very long, you can see it on me (I am 6’1”), all the zippers, pockets, straps are really well made, I am sure it is going to last. The backpack like this one is generally meant for longer travels like camping trips. However, it does not have enough space, in the picture we put all that pretty much filled the space, not enough. You can carry as much in a regular backpack, that is not so large and fancy.Recommend if you can suffice with fewer items while hiking.
