I've actually done more than a day in this pack. It is a large daypack but you can absolutely do a few woods nighters in this. It's a great pack, well designed, practical and durable.
Great video! After looking at packs for a while and, honestly, being kind of disappointed in a lot of them, this one seems to hit the spot just perfectly. Thanks for a quality video, and I'm glad I found you guys! Subbed.
Could you explain the benefits and disadvantages of a panel-lading backpack versus the top loading? To me, a top loading has the benefit of durability for zippers in a panel loading may fail. I am considering the Stratos versus Ospry Talon/tempest. (Women's version in either models. ) Cheers!
Thank your for the review! Clear and concise. I have a question. The images available online (on the Backcountry Edge and other websites) are of a backpack that is of darker red colours. Are the pictures not reflecting the colour of the backpack in reality?
Color is always hard to depict accurately because the product is initially photographed in an artificially lit studio and then color corrected/edited before it is viewed on different screens and computer monitors. The pack we used for the video is indeed the same color you see in the photographs on our website. We believe the color of the pack matches most closely to our video in natural light.
I loooove this pack....but one major problem. My sleeping bag is too big for the compartment. What sleeping bags would you recommend that would fit this pack? I use a north face campforter 20 degree bag, it’s awesome, just too bulky for a simple overnight (or two) stay in mild weather
Hello Joe! Thank you for your comment. You may want to consider making the switch to a down sleeping bag. Down tends to compress more efficiently than synthetic fill. There are numerous down sleeping bags on our website. If you like The North Face brand, it may be worth taking a look at their Kazoo sleeping bag: www.backcountryedge.com/backpacking-and-camping-gear/sleeping-bags-accessories/north-face-blue-kazoo.html. Thanks for watching!
Hi, that is part of Osprey's Stow-on-the-go trekking pole attachment. To use this system, put the pole tips through that loop, and then secure the handles of the poles using the bungee strap on the left shoulder harness. This allows you to quickly carry the poles on the pack to free up your hands while hiking or climbing.
@@Enwild I see. Thanks for replying. Then my follow up question is - what is the elastic lashing on the top and a non-elastic nylon loop just above the sleeping bag compartment on the right side for?
@@udayshome1793 You're welcome! That is also a trekking pole attachment point that can be used to stow them out of the way for longer periods of time. Just like the stow-on-the-go system, you will put the trekking pole tips through the nylon loop at the bottom of the back and secure the handles with the bungee attachment point towards the top of the pack.
jose rizal, thanks for the question today! The Osprey Stratos line is a men's/unisex day pack but can be used by females. If your looking for the women's specific version please check out the Osprey Sirrus line in a full range of sizes of 24l, 36l and 50 liters. Thanks again!
Yes, the main differences are the sleeping bag storage space and overall pack volume. If you plan on using the pack for day hikes only, then the Stratos 24 would be a good choice. The 34 will serve you best on one or two night trips. For anything longer, it would be best to look for a larger pack unless you are super minimalist. Thanks for watching!
1:00 "Large enough for bulky gear like food AND clothing" Yeah... buyer beware... I see a sleeping bag and about half a tent JAM PACKED in there... I own the Stratos 36 and without major upgrades to some very ultra-light gear there is no way your getting a two-night trip out of these. I'm a tarp guy and even I had to swap to a bigger bag. With all due respect to Enwild's work... I find this mid-pack range useless. Give me 10L day pack or a 50L for overnights. Unless someone wants to buy my Stratos36... because yeah I'm selling that ASAP.
@@SpiritualReform Hey sorry to hear that the fit isn't quite what you expected! Feel free to reach out to us at support@enwild.com, and we will be happy to help!
@@Enwild So, now i found out that there are actually three different Stratos 34L. OS, S/M, and M/L. I just ordered the OS given that the S/M is too small for me.
Just purchased mine ! Thanks for all your great reviews..
Cheers and Happy Trails!
I've actually done more than a day in this pack. It is a large daypack but you can absolutely do a few woods nighters in this. It's a great pack, well designed, practical and durable.
Thanks for sharing, we agree!
It’s a nice luxury pack if you’re a gear head with some really ultra light stuff. Bit heavy for long ultralight hikes, but excellent for weekends!
Great video! After looking at packs for a while and, honestly, being kind of disappointed in a lot of them, this one seems to hit the spot just perfectly. Thanks for a quality video, and I'm glad I found you guys! Subbed.

Thanks for the video. Just bought this pack from you guys, cant wait to try it out.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for stopping by our store!
Thanks for review, I am going to buy this pack :-)

Is there a flat panel inside seperating the lower pocket from the upper pocket?
The zippered access lower compartment has a floating liner keeps contents more organized and accessible!
hi, can you do a review on Osprey Syncro 20?
You bet! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/34gQoqXXtFo/v-deo.html
Can any one tell me - what's the function of the elasticated tube thingie at the bottom of the left side mesh pocket? I cannot figure it out.

@@Enwild ahh, okay. Or, maybe more than trekking poles? ... say, ice axes...
Stratos 34 also applicable for women?
Hey, thanks for watching! The Sirrus is Osprey's women's specific model for this pack line: www.backcountryedge.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=sirrus
Hi, is this ideal for female as well? Tia

how do I choose between Stratos 34 vs 24. Is the sleeping bag and volume on the main difference?
Yes, the main differences are the sleeping bag storage space and overall pack volume. If you plan on using the pack for day hikes only, then the Stratos 24 would be a good choice. The 34 will serve you best on one or two night trips. For anything longer, it would be best to look for a larger pack unless you are super minimalist. Thanks for watching!
Hey man I am in that same boat currently. Which one did you end up going with?
1:00 "Large enough for bulky gear like food AND clothing"
Yeah... buyer beware... I see a sleeping bag and about half a tent JAM PACKED in there... I own the Stratos 36 and without major upgrades to some very ultra-light gear there is no way your getting a two-night trip out of these. I'm a tarp guy and even I had to swap to a bigger bag.
With all due respect to Enwild's work... I find this mid-pack range useless. Give me 10L day pack or a 50L for overnights.
Unless someone wants to buy my Stratos36... because yeah I'm selling that ASAP.
Is it OS or is there a S/M and a M/L size?
This pack is offered in one size with an adjustable torso length. Thanks for asking!
@@Enwild thanks, that's good to know, i was getting mixed info on this.
@@Enwild Ok, i've ordered it and it is smaller than the 24L. What's going on here? It just doesn't make sense. I'm about to return it.
@@SpiritualReform Hey sorry to hear that the fit isn't quite what you expected! Feel free to reach out to us at support@enwild.com, and we will be happy to help!
@@Enwild So, now i found out that there are actually three different Stratos 34L. OS, S/M, and M/L. I just ordered the OS given that the S/M is too small for me.
