The Osprey Variant 37 Pack is a backpack that knows that sometimes you want to climb and sometimes you want to hike. This bag is into compromising: it's not going to make you choose. Use the hipbelt for support on the trail, stow the hipbelt for keeping it out of the way on the climb. Specifically designed with climbers in mind, this bag features glove-friendly buckles and a three-point system that makes for safe and secure big wall hauling. This bag doesn't give up under any conditions: an extendible spindrift collar keeps the snow out and the weatherproof and water-resistant front pocket keeps moisture away from your gear. This pack carries gear with ease, with specified loops for downhill and cross-country skis, an ice axe holster, and a compression pocket for crampons. Does anyone really like those buttered popcorn jellybeans?

Not a lot new to say, other reviewers covered it well, but this pack is perfect for me. Long alpine routes, touring, cragging, whatever I'm doing this is my go-to pack. Although it was holding up well after a year of hard use, I destroyed it in a fall in RMNP. The pack actually absorbed a lot of the force and probably saved me from serious injury. Osprey's warranty is amazing and they replaced it, no problem. Nothing but good things to say about the pack and Osprey's customer service.
Has more room than it looks, I use it from hiking to carrying all my kit on the crag. I wouldn't climb with this pack as its a little too large for me to have on my back whilst climbing. Its really comfortable for long hikes and the weight from all your kit does not hinder you with this pack. I love it.
I love this pack. i am 6'0" 180lbs and the medium fits me perfect, you can get a really good custom fit with this pack. i use it mostly for vertical adventurers. its perfect for a weekend trip to hold your clothes and gear with room left over. i would recommend this to anyone who needs a pack for the weekend adventures.
