Osprey makes some of the finest backpacks ever built for spending time outdoors. They’re light, rugged, and they actually look cool. Right now, Amazon has dropped prices on a ton of Osprey bags as part of its Big Spring Sale. The deals include everything from rolling suitcases to hydration packs. There’s even a fanny pack or two in the mix (I will never call them “waist packs”). These typically sell out quickly when there’s a sale, so jump on the sizes and colors you want before they go back up in price and you’re stuck hiking with the same backpack you used to carry around in high school.
Osprey Transporter 40L Travel Duffel Bag — $109 (was $160)
This clever pack serves multiple purposes. It has a very solid 40-liter capacity, which is plenty of room for gear, snacks, and whatever else you’re bringing out into the woods. It has four burly handles that you can easily grab or throw over your shoulders to wear like a typical backpack.
The main compartment opens with a lockable U-shaped zipper that gives you quick way to find anything inside. There’s a handy outer zipper pocket for stuff you want to keep in an easier-to-reach spot. The entire outside of the back has a dual-sided TPU coating, which resists water, even under heavy precipitation. This bag hasn’t dropped below its typical $159 price all year, so this is a rare discount, especially when it’s a massive $50 off.
Osprey Arcane Everyday Waist Pack, Black — $37 (was $55)
Believe it or not, waist packs are actually cool right now. That’s likely because of how useful they are. This plucky little bag measures 9″ x 6″ x 5.5″, so it’s formidable enough to actually carry stuff without making you look like you’re wearing a diaper. This is an Osprey bag, so it’s weather-resistant and built to handle semi-rugged terrain. That includes the hallways at school or just out in the street.
Osprey Transporter Wheeled 38l Carry-on Luggage — $195 (was $279)
Rolling suitcases take massive beatings, so you want one that’s going to stand up to abuse. This 38-liter bag meets all the typical carry-on luggage requirements, so it’ll fit into an overhead compartment no problem. It has padding all around the main compartment and the 90mm wheels are burly enough to monster truck over small obstacles without breaking. It also comes in a cool blue color if you want to buck the traditional black bag.
