Osprey Archeon | Sustainable Backpacking | Osprey Europe

To hold the pack together and take pressure off the zipped opening when you're fully loaded, Osprey have added an internal clipped strap. However I've found it a comfortable carry despite (or to an extent, because of) this weight - more on that below. I have never understood why outdoor companies consistently make women’s backpacks a few liters smaller than the men’s version since women often need the same storage capacity as men depending on the application of course. I know Rob quite liked the fjallraven stuff he tried, and it is very popular in the Nordics, but it never seemed an obvious solution for UK hill conditions.The front side of the Osprey Archeon 25 features an over-sized zip, measuring 42cm long that spans half the size of the bag from the top, down to the mid-section. This is especially true, if you are an "earth conscious" individual who has become aware of the importance of recycling non-biodegradable, petroleum-based materials such as nylon and polyester, which are currently filling up landfills and oceans. The Osprey Archeon 25 Backpack blurs the boundaries between the city and wilderness, combining the same functionality and durability as the larger backpacking styles with a minimalistic roll-top profile that is ideal for an everyday commute or day trip.

Archeon 25 Women’s Review: Meet Osprey’s New Eco-Friendly Daypack

The Archeon 45 Men's embodies the principles of essentialism and environmentalism for multi-day backpacking. The fabrics used throughout the Archeon 45 are all recycled and durable enough stand the test of time. However, it is clear that the material won’t withstand years of abuse the same way others can and I expect the Archeon will live on twice as long. TheArcheon 25 shoulder straps also integrate an adjustable torso suspension system that allows the height of the shoulder straps to be adjusted up and down by sliding the straps along two rubber rails.The Archeon 25 Women’s pack embodies the principles of essentialism and environmentalism for hiking.

Osprey Archeon 25 Review | Tested by GearLab

When the excess fabric of the rolltop is rolled up, it is secured in place via a long webbing strap, which measures 44cm long, 40mm wide and 1mm thick. That said, in recent years the Osprey All Mighty Guarantee has been slightly reduced so that it no longer covers (1) wear and tear (2) airline damage (3) water damage. It doesn't look likely to wear out any time soon - to put it mildly - but that means you'll probably still be using the Archeon five, ten or maybe fifteen years hence.

The hidden pocket is great for securing valuables, although without any external zip pockets or external access, you have to reach into the main compartment every time you want to use the hidden pocket.

Osprey Archeon 30: Backpack Review - Adventure Bagging Osprey Archeon 30: Backpack Review - Adventure Bagging

Constructed with recycled Nylon canvas, it is Hydraulics™ reservoir compatible and features designated bottle pockets alongside a ventilated AirScape™ back panel and detachable webbing hip-belt that offer comfort for weekend hikes. A unique highly accessible front zip opening allows you to pack unpack and quickly access your gear. Whilst perhaps not ideal for these situations like the Osprey Quasar is, the Archeon 25 can still handle these scenarios. The hip belt helps prevent the backpack from sliding side to side, although the hip padding on the Archeon 25 is relatively short, measuring 10cm tall and 8cm wide. Also, whilst the strap opening and “top down” loading system are frustrating in day to day life when you’re constantly in and out of the bag, this is not a problem if you only need to open and access the pack a few times a day.The packs stress minimalism in both appearance and features, a break from Osprey’s usual cutting-edge aesthetics and generous conveniences. Of course, this is probably an inevitable consequence of the production process and a result of it being made from 100% recycled materials. Comfortable, padded back panel– the Archeon has an adjustable AirScape back panel that is well padded.
