DESCRIPTION

The Osprey Xenith 88 is ideal for backpackers who venture deep into the backcountry carrying camping essentials for more than a few nights out. The Xenith 88 is loaded with technical features that long distance hikers will appreciate. LightWire™ suspension and dual side compression straps keep the load stable even when moving through rugged terrain.

The heat-molded BioForm™ harness and hipbelt provides a precise customized fit to ensure all day comfort and a mesh backpanel keeps you cool if the temps heat up as you climb up the summit ridge.

The top of the pack is a dual compartment that can also be removed to save weight or converted into a lumbar pack for summit dashes. Two zippered hipbelt pockets keep your phone, snacks, and other essential items organized and close at hand. External stretch mesh pockets—two side and one rear—allow more grab and go storage options. The external hydration sleeve allows easy access to make liquid refills a snap. There are dual ice axe loops for alpine adventures and the Stow-on-the-Go™ trekking pole storage system lets you stash your sticks without breaking stride.

Great Pack!

I used an external frame pack for years and 1,000+ miles. I was always reluctant to switch to an internal frame because it would mean fewer options for lashing extra gear to the outside. I finally took the plunge and purchased this pack in size large. I'm 6'2", and could have gone with either medium or large. The large felt like it fit better when I tried them on. I've been on two 3-night trips with this so far, and I am LOVING it. It is 10x more comfortable than my old external frame and I can move much better in it as well. This gives me much more confidence scrambling up inclines or climbing down sharp declines. As for carrying capacity, this pack handles everything and then some. I just got back from a multi-day trip to The Badlands National Park, where there are no water sources. This pack carried 3.5 gallons of water plus all my gear (70 lbs total) with no problem, not even an extra groan or squeak from the straps. Looking forward to many more great trips with this pack!
