Osprey Axis 18 Unisex Lifestyle Pack - Ethel Blue (O/S)

Product Information

This guide is designed to help you get the best fit and comfort from your chosen pack so that carrying all your kit becomes a pleasure and not a chore. Alternatively, those bottle pockets we mentioned earlier are large enough to hold bulky items as well. The adjustable hip and chest straps ensure you get the perfect fit dialled in for your body every time.

Then, there is the little, top-lip front pocket (semi-hidden) which I use for putting my house keys, some change and latterly, a face mask. These additional pockets are meant for documents and tablets—it’s safe to assume that the one with the soft lining is the one meant for tablets. Osprey have provided loads of storage options with three externalzipped pockets, a bungee compression system that is perfect for a bike helmet or jacket and an internal padded laptop sleeve that doubles up as a hydration sleeve.The sleeve is raised to create a false bottom, and this, combined with the Flare’s frame sheet, mitigates impact if you drop the Flare on the ground. The stretchiness of the mesh material doesn’t do a particularly good job of holding onto an 18-ounce Hydro Flask bottle’s slick finish.

You want to be able to use your gear, and it should be able to handle most of what you throw at it (short of getting run over by a train). However, it’s really just a dump pocket for any everyday carry items you need to access frequently and on the go.In this stance, we can feel the Flare pull back noticeably, and this is such a shame since the harness system actually wears really comfortably despite the lack of a sternum strap; it’s the handle that holds it back. Fasten the chest strap and pull until taut but not tight, the elastic section should not be extended.
