For 50 years, Osprey has been creating comfortable and durable packs that stand the test of time. In 1974, founder Mike Pfotenhauer decided to start making custom packs to fuel his love for the outdoors and empower others to do the same. Now, Osprey has a wide variety of backpacks and more, to get everyone outside, for every journey. Their belief that adventure is open to anyone and found anywhere is shared with their diverse community of backpackers, hikers, campers, climbers, skiers, and mountaineers, from amateurs to pros.
