Osprey ARCHEON
Filtering
The Osprey Archeon series embodies the principles of essentialism and ecology for both hiking and rucksacks. A combination of recycled fabrics, metal components and a comfortable back system creates a rucksack built for outdoor life.
The rucksack construction with the ability to open completely from the front (whilst also being able to close very tightly at the same time) is excellent for travelling, as you don't need to have everything perfectly packed and you can still access everything quickly. And many small features, such as quickly accessible internal pockets and good attachment options on the sides of the rucksack, are very practical.
Important buckles (which typically break first) are additionally made from metal and the rucksack is sewn from very durable material. So we can expect long durability. The back section can be adjusted very well and the fit of the rucksack can be fine-tuned. Only the hip belt is somewhat narrow and less padded for longer distances with heavy loads in the rucksack, which could be a disadvantage for hiking trips lasting several days.
