Summary

• Osprey Levity / Lumina 60L ($270, 1 lb 13.3 oz) or Osprey Levity / Lumina 45L ($250, 1 lb 12.2 oz)
• The tester liked the fit and feel of the pack. “I can confidently say this is one of the most comfortable packs I’ve ever worn.”
• They didn’t like the side pockets, but they use a large diameter size water bottle than probably most people, which made it difficult to get in and out.
• The tester didn’t like the top lid compartment.
• They noted the lack of chest and hip belt pockets. FYI – This is a big drawback for us. We use those pockets all the time for snacks, water bottles, phone, camera, etc.
• The tester noted that the silnylon material which makes up the main compartment felt delicate.
• Even after all those knocks against it, the tester still rated it 8 out of 10 overall.
