The Stratos 36 is an excellent backpack appropriate for long days or short weekends on the trail. Though it’s a good deal heavier than most other backpacks that we’d include in the daypack category, the Stratos more than justifies this inconvenience by carrying more weight, more comfortably than any other backpack its size.

Who Will Love It
We think that the Stratos 36 will serve a population of outdoor enthusiasts looking for a bag that toes the line between an overnighter and a day hiker. Its stout build is tempered with Osprey’s signature emphasis on ventilation and comfort, alongside organizational amenities that open up the option to use the Stratos as a dedicated travel bag.
