Once again, Osprey did a great job of design and functionnality with this Osprey Stratos 26.
Keep in mind that I just used this bag in winter so far, but the trampoline mesh system works perfectly! No more sweat in the back. I don't know if it'll be the same this summer, but I sweat a lot with any other bag, even in the winter.
This bag is well design to distribute the weigth all along your back, even if there at least 2 or 3 inches of space between the back and you. So it is pretty high and slim for a 26L bag.
The only thing I wish this bag would have is the front access zipper as the Stratos 36 have, but I don't really miss that much so far. Maybe it'll be a little big for one day summer hike, but with the compression straps, it's not a problem!
This pack is absolutely awesome!
