Osprey is a mainstay in the backpacking world thanks to well-designed packs that sit at the intersection of comfort and affordability. This Black Friday sale covers a wide array of packs, but I scoured the brand’s deal pages to bring you some can’t-miss grabs.
After all, it’s the holidays — you’ve got better things to do than stare at your phone and calculate sale percentages with a brain full of tryptophan and a belly full of pie.
Read on, and save a slice for yours truly.
Black Friday Sale: Our Picks From Osprey
Osprey Exos 48L: 25% Off
It’s hard to walk more than a few miles on a long trail without encountering a version of the Exos. Osprey’s comfy suspension, durable construction, and well-thought-out storage make it a go-to choice for backpackers every hiking season.
I like the 48L version for a good middle ground between weight and storage capacity, but you can go up or down in volume as your needs warrant. Unfortunately, the Exos Pro 55, which earned a spot in GearJunkie’s Best Ultralight Backpacks roundup, is already sold out. But that same DNA is present in the more readily available version we included here.
Osprey Ozone 4-Wheel Carry-On 38L: 25% Off
You could do worse than buy your luggage from a brand best known for backpacking gear. The same people making packs that can stand up to 5 months of thru-hiking are likely to do a good job making carry-ons. So with that in mind, peep the Osprey Ozone, a four-wheel, 38L piece of rolling luggage built around an aluminum frame.
There are top and bottom handles to make that overhead compartment clean and press a little less tricky, and coated zippers for weather resistance. Grab one and allocate the money you save on this deal toward your next airline ticket purchase.
Osprey Ultralight Dry Sacks: 30% Off
Now that you’ve got a few bags, it’s time to worry about internal organization. Osprey’s waterproof silnylon stuff sacks are on sale in a range of sizes for 30% off. The 12L size is about right for a food bag on a three-night trip, but if you want more noms than that, you can always go up to a 20L. Just don’t submerge these guys — that rolltop closure can only handle so much.
