Choosing your luggage wisely is an important step in reducing stress on any trip and Osprey offers a revolutionary backpack.

 

Most travelers on long-term trips will take a backpack due to the variety of terrain they are likely to encounter. The downside is the system of straps on most backpacks has hardly evolved in decades, and places a huge amount of strain on your shoulders and hips.

 

Osprey’s Anti-Gravity technology promises to change that by distributing the weight of your pack over a large surface area, using mesh which covers your entire back. The mesh hugs your body and ensures even heavy loads can be carried on long treks in great comfort.

 

 

Another benefit of the mesh is its ventilating properties. Although ventilated backpacks are nothing new, Osprey’s Anti-Gravity technology improves on other designs by keeping the load close to your back, thus ensuring there is no loss of stability. This makes the packs especially suitable for active pursuits and demanding trails on which balance is essential.

 

The technology is featured on Osprey’s Atmos AG range for men, and the Aura AG range for women. Both are available in 50- and 65-liter capacities in a variety of colors. The 65-liter models are available for $259.95, while the 50 liter will cost you $229.95.

 

If you were previously put off backpacks because of concerns over comfort and ventilation, the Osprey AG series may change your mind. Learn more at ospreypacks.com.
