Tempest 9L Women's Hiking Backpack with Hipbelt, Stealth Black, WM/L

I have so many backpacks, that every one is sick of me every time I get a new one. I'm constantly on the hunt for the perfect one, since they have different purposes for me. I have plenty of fashion back packs, travel backpacks, camera backpacks and diaper bags... but nothing for adventure. The reason why I wanted something for the trail, is not necessarily for hiking, even though I may go like 3 times a year, but I needed something that had the front loader strap on the strap. I ordered the Trail Magik Carrier for my one year old, so I wont have to travel with a bulky carrier, since the the trail magik carrier folds small. It's absolutely great for my needs as a diaper bag. It's small enough where it doesn't look like a huge hiking bag, yet spacious enough inside. The bottle holders on the side have enough stretch, and the waist bands are the perfect storage for my keys, wallet ,hand sanitizer and my airpods without having to take my whole backpack out to reach out for them. When I went to REI to see this bag in person before ordering, it included the hydro pack. When I ordered it on amazon (because it was $40 cheaper) it didn't not included the hydro pack. For reference, I'm 5'3 and weight 155lbs, I ordered the M/L size and the waist pack sits on my waist where a belt might sit comfortably. When I tried the XS/S in the store it was also a comfortable fit, however the waist pack landed on my waist, above my belly button. I preferred it landing closer to my "belt "area. As for the weight, with the chest strap (which included a whistle) and the wait belt, the weight is evenly distributed so it doesn't feel heavy while carrying a bunch of stuff like water bottles, diapers, wipes, extra clothes etc. As a city commuter, this bag is perfect for moms on the go.

Upgraded from a multi use pack to the woman specific Osprey Tempest 9. Our group goes on day hikes and the size is perfect. It is so nice to put on a pack that is tailored to smaller shoulders and larger hips. After measuring for fit (Osprey site) I found my back length measurement straddled the XS/S and the M/L bags. The published measurements states it is a two inch difference in length between the two sizes. I went XS/S because I wanted to be sure that the top of the pack didn’t hit my head when I’m looking up at trees. Super comfortable. Lots of straps and possible adjustments. Whistle in the sternum strap buckle! The Tempest follows the shape of your back keeping the load close to your back and that keeps your center of gravity closer to what is it without a pack. The pack doesn’t shift during activity and the side pockets don’t lose water bottles (compression straps around the pocket add a secure hold for bottles. Getting the bottle out while wearing the pack is a good stretch for the shoulder. Easiest way is to push up from the bottom of pocket until the bottle is nearly out. I use the hydration pocket for other stuff since I prefer to use a water bottle. Side pockets on the waist strap are nice for quick snack access and for my iPhone. I have a newer SE so it’s a smaller sized iPhone. A larger phone would not fit in these pockets. I carry a Sony RX10 III in the main body along with everything else that I hike with. Great sized pack, I love mine!

It was perfect for my trip on the el Camino in Spain. I used it as my carry on bag on the plane and day bag for hiking. It was roomy enough for essentials and very comfortable (good support for my back).

LOVE!!! I cannot express how much I love this pack. The size is ideal for day hikes, and even works well for trail running. I have a small frame (5'2", 110 lbs.) and this pack fits me like a glove. It can be challenging to find gear that fits me well. I love all of the compartments, straps, and loops for attaching gear, and I utilize the hip pockets so much more than I thought I would! High quality, cute, and fits me like a dream. :)

I’ve been looking for a small pack for short day hikes for a while and this one is great. I would take something larger if I were going in rough terrain because I’d want to bring extra safety items but for my daily walks this fits the bill. I can put in a light jacket, some snacks, binoculars and bug repellent. I use a water bottle rather than a hydration bladder. When I tried it with a 2-liter Camelback the pack was too cramped. This is the sixth Osprey pack I’ve owned. I’m a big fan of the brand’s quality, features and comfort.

This is really a beautiful product, well constructed, lovely purple color, real quality, light in weight but durable. The caution is.. if you’re tall, this is not going to work. It is meant for a smaller build person. I’m a 5’11 female.. and I looked like Shrek trying to fit in a My Little Pony size. It was sad and laughable. Crisis averted as I simply went to the Men’s version, which is the Talon. Identical quality, different colors though, but the blue is just as beautiful as the purple. I’m a fan of neutral colors, but understand the need to where a color that is bright for safety of hunters, or for your companions to see to follow, or in the event Search and Rescue ever needs to find you. Highly recommend Osprey.

Perfect comfortable pack for day trips for the smaller person

Good quality, But - Very soft, I don't like it...

Best bag ever and great for petite women. It is extremely confortable and very easy to open and close even with gloves. Great for all seasons . I highly recommend!!!

Ich war sehr zögerlich wegen der abgebildeten Farbe. Es ist das hübscheste Bordeaux, was den kleinen Rucksack sehr schmeichelt. Endlich mal ein Rucksack für kleine Frauen. Hab den xs gekauft. Viele Details um den Rucksack einzustellen.

Ok

Schöner und langlebiger Rucksack! Wir haben ihn schon ein paar Jahre in Benutzung, er ist robust und praktisch. Wir würden ihn jederzeit wieder nehmen.

Good bag nice side pockets and back support
