Osprey’s Updated Exos 58 Backpack

As we’ve said before, finding the right backpack is important. Spend time researching and get the one that fits you and your hiking style. You’ll appreciate the time investment after several hours of carrying a good pack.
 
FYI – Since 2015, we have mostly used the Osprey Exos 58. We love it and we aren’t alone. It was the Top Backpack of 2017 on the Appalachian Trail. It is light (not ultra) and adaptable. It carries loads of 15 to 35 lbs. with ease. We can be tough on our gear, so Osprey’s lifetime warranty is another point in their favor.

Recently, they updated the Exos 58 and we thought you should know the details. Jim Rahtz covered these updates in a good review over at The Trek.
 
Summary

• Weight: 2.75 lbs. FYI – Our version is 2.6 with the brain and only 2.35 without the lid. Osprey has somehow increased the weight while losing pockets. Probably because this pack utilizes more durable fabrics.
• Fully loaded at 30 lbs. the tester said the pack felt comfortable.
• “Osprey has taken a winning design and fine-tuned it for simplicity and durability. Despite the loss of pockets and the addition of four ounces, the Osprey Exos 58 remains a great option for either overnights or thru-hiking.”
