Tempest 26
Fabulous rucksack. Plenty of room to put a down jacket, waterproof jacket and trousers, little pockets at waist to put mobile, suncream and snack. Side pockets are great for storing drinks bottles. Doesn't dig in to your shoulders when you're carrying a heavy load like some so.

Great bag
This bag is a great size for longer day trips. The pockets on the outside are large enough for bigger drinks bottles which I’ve always found to be an issue and the way the bag sits on your hips is also very comfortable and doesn’t leave me sore like some others I’ve had. The only complaint I’d mention is it doesn’t come with a waterproof cover, which I only discovered when I was at the top of a munro and it was pouring it down. My previous osprey back came with one so I didn’t think to check before ordering/using and felt a bit let down as the bag is obviously not a small price.

I love this pack!!! So many great features including supportive hip belt, accessible hip belt pockets, spot for hiking/ski poles, hydration compatible (but also used it as my plane carryon and used that pouch for documents, kindle, etc), very secure pockets including one with key hook, great exterior fabric - dirt brushes off! It was a perfect daypack and large enough for clothing and extra's for one night.

Awesome
Did the Yorkshire Three Peaks with this bag & it was wonderful. Held everything that I needed & had a lot of spare room. Was comfy on the back & shoulders too

Perfect!
Bought for doing the Camino - the 26L is the ideal size to go light. This women’s specific Osprey Tempest 26 is perfect for my frame. I have an XS back and the harness system adjusts for torso length. I cracked my spine 5 years ago but once fitted correctly much of the weight is transferred from shoulders to hips, making the load very comfortable. Additionally, I forgot to add the 10% ‘first order discount’ but after reaching out to the customer care team, the discount was refunded by a very helpful Carly. Highly recommend.
