DESCRIPTION

Throw the Osprey Escapist 32 on your back, hop on your bike, and get away from it all. Anchored by a BioStretch™ harness and hipbelt, this low-profile pack is designed to keep the load balanced when descending rough terrain. The Airscape™ mesh backpanel provides ventilation when you’re grinding up the pass.

Access to the main compartment comes via a convenient zippered front panel so you can see all your gear at a glance. A zippered divider at the base of the pack provides segregated storage for stuff you want to avoid commingling—post-ride clothing or perhaps a pair of sandals— with the rest of your gear.

Additional features include a myriad of external storage options starting with three handy stretch mesh pockets—one on each side and another in the front. The hipbelt has twin zippered pockets for snacks and there’s a phone-sized pocket on the shoulder strap. A zippered external front pocket keeps valuables secure and a non-scratch glasses pocket protects your shades. The external hydration sleeve makes for easy reservoir refills.

If you’re out after sunset, this pack features reflective accents and a blinker light attachment point for extra visibility. And if a sudden storm rolls in, there’s an integrated raincover always stowed in the bottom of the pack.

I love this pack!

Pros
- Comfortable and very adjustable.
- Two large compartments, OR, one large compartment.
- Front zipper compartment has a few pockets.
- Side pouches have good stretch to them as well as a securing system. Perfect for bear spray, water, etc.
- Front stretch pouch works well.
- Small zipper pocket for glasses on the shoulder strap which worked well for my clip on shades.
- Two pouches on the hip belt great for small flashlights, ipod, etc.
- Top zippered pocket which I used for glasses and travel papers.
- Dedicated place for your water reservoir. My CamelBak bladder worked fine but there are others available.
- Integrated rain cover (did not use but I did try it out).
- Fit well under airplane seats both horizontally and longitudinally.
- I was able to secure a pole and my camera tripod with camera attached to outside of pack.

Cons
- Only one: It needs more pockets! More in the front zipper area, several in the large compartment, 1 or 2 in the top zipper area. A tablet pouch would be nice. I solved the lack of pockets problem by buying a bunch cheap cosmetic bags at a dollar store and used them to separate items for easy finding.
