This pack is the shit!! Wow, where do I begin? There are so many good things to say about it. It is clear that this thing is extremely well thought out. The pack's name, "Variant", is quite apt, as it is very capable of a wide variety of excursions. | |

"Haul it All!" | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| This is the 4th Osprey pack I've bought, none have failed. I have this same pack in the 52L just for bigger loads. Two others I climb with have it. This bad boy will haul your, iceaxes, crampons, poles, what ever you decide to stash inside and with the addition of an extra strap on each side and using the ski loops, it'll haul your snowshoes no problem. We just just love this thing. | |

| Good materials and an excellent combination of features designed for the climber/alpinist. Best characteristic is the way it carries a load when climbing. This pack has an adjustable internal frame and load lifters that actually let you control the suspension, making it the best pack of its size that I've used on technical terrain. The arrangement of pockets and hydration sleeve ensure that it's also convenient to use. | |

Great pack | |

| I love this pack. I've taken it on a few day hikes already and it performed perfectly. I haven't tried to take it on any over night hikes and I don't know if I will because I don't see many options to attach tents or sleeping bags to it, but I'll keep looking for a way. | |

The Ideal Winter Pack | |

| So far used it for scrambles and light climbing with up to 25 pound. Although there are a lot of straps, they are well placed. Especially liked the strap to secure the rope. | |
