I love this pack.
Great pack! I use this for a day pack. It has plenty of room for everything i bring. I like that it comes with a rain cover (which works great) and i use the trekking pole holding system all the time when i come to rocky scrambles. The only thing i dont like is that the top of the back mesh panel rubs my shoulder blades and it can get sore after a long hike (included pics). I purchased a med/large because thats what size my osprey kestral 48 is, and i have no issues with rubbing on that pack. Im not sure if a small/med (my torso measurement fits in both small/med and med/large size caregories) would prevent that from happening. Other than that, i love this pack and would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comfortable Pack. Love the Internal Frame.
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have an Osprey Daylite pack that I like a lot, but I was looking for something with more room, and that had an internal frame to help carry the load. I've seen reviews where people complained that the Stratos 34 pack was too heavy, but that weight is in the frame, and that frame pays for itself because it distributes the weight properly. I haven't really noticed any increased weight.

I chose the Stratos 34 over the 24 because I wanted the extra capability to use this for overnights and this one has the sleeping bag compartment and straps on the bottom for carrying a sleeping pad and/or tent. That being said, my 30 year old down sleeping bag just BARELY fits in there, so an upgrade to a new 2lb compressible sleeping bag will happen. I know there are compact ones that will easily fit in there. If you were only going to use this for day hikes, the Stratos 24 would probably be better, but I don't mind that this one is a little bit larger than necessary for 5-10 mile day hikes.

The pockets on the waist pad are good for trail snacks, and the other pockets have shown to be useful and well placed. I did add a little one on the shoulder strap that holds two packets of performance gel. The back pad manages sweat and heat as well, if not better than any.

I did use the rain fly one day and it fit easily over a full pack. I have thought it could be useful as a tick guard as well, but I may consider removing it once the summer heat kicks in.

My only complaint/criticism, which isn't really a fair one, is that the bag should/could have the ability to expand more and be bigger. The weight distribution is excellent, and there are good compression straps. But the bag only expands a little. They could have made this have the capacity for 44 liters and it would have been fine. As it stands, it is very compact. I would have been OK if it expanded a bit more to add things for multi-day trip, but of course, it would be the "Stratos 44" instead. Doesn't matter too much since I do have other packs.

I haven't had any durability issues so far.

For the price, can't find a better, all-encompassing day pack. And, it's and Osprey!

Why ding it 0.5 stars? Honestly, I just wish Osprey incorporated some INTERNAL pen/small small organizational pockets for compass/maps/etc. like 5.11, Blackhawk!, Eberlestock, Direct Action etc. (yes I own packs from all).

Bottom line -- Awesome pack. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hiking Pack I own
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2021

I purchased both the Stratos 24 and 34, but definitely the 34 is my go to pack for day hikes. I am an amateur photographer, and I choose my Stratos 34 over my Shimoda 30L for comfort and weight management. I use the Yenba packs in the Osprey to store my camera stuff (not as efficient as the Shimoda packs), but it gets the job done. I can also attach a tripod to the Osprey. I will upgrade to the bigger Stratos if I can carry the extra weight (I am 67).

awesome bag day pack or minimalist overnight or two. fits great on my very long torso (23.5" iliac Crest to neck). 6'2" 250lbs. pack is amazing full of features and is now my go to bag for hikes. Wish they would produce more tactical colors rather than flamboyant type colors. If I had to only have one bag for multiple activities, this is it.
