"The Stratos 24 Backpack has all the features of Osprey's larger Stratos packs but in a size suitable for more modest pursuits. Whether you're biking to work or heading to the crag, this hydration-compatible pack has the right amount of room for your gear. During your morning bicycle commute, the Osprey's AirMesh suspension system circulates air to keep you cool, dry, and comfortable no more sweat spots on your back. Throw a change of clothes into the easily accessible main compartment and your climbing shoes into one of the external mesh pockets for an after-work bouldering session the StraitJacket compression keeps it all secure. If you think you'll encounter ice or your annoying hotshot coworker, secure your ice axes in their external dual loops and be prepared."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A technical daypack for light and fast backcountry adventure, the Osprey Stratos daypack is perfect for day hiking, an afternoon at the crags, even bike commuting. The sophisticated AirCore suspension system allows for full air circulation without sacrificing a stable, form-fitting carry. Briefly, the AirCore backpanel consists of two fiberglass struts with a center stabilization disc anchored into top and bottom ABS wings. Over the top of this lightweight hardware a tensioned mesh backpanel provides the breathable pack to body contact. The Osprey Stratos backpack offers numerous organization pockets, including handy hipbelt pockets for small necessities, side stretch woven pockets designed for quick access to water bottles, and a large zippered front pocket in addition to the front panel access to the main compartment. Dubbed the StraightJacket compression system, the Osprey Stratos backpack features arching flaps on either side of the front pocket, connected via the two compression straps to wrap the load securely so it doesn't shift. For smaller packs with the AirCore suspension, be sure to check out the Osprey Stratos 18 and Osprey Stratos 12."

"I recently bought an Osprey Stratos 24 backpack for day hikes. When I was looking at it in the store I was very skeptical. I have been hiking with an old army backpack from an army navy, shop, you know one of the canvas indestructible packs. . . so being used to that I didn't think the Osprey would hold up."

"I have only recently purchased this pack, so I will have to write another review after it gets some more use. However, I also had the same experience with the medium being too small. I have an 18 inch torso and according to the sizing chart from Osprey, I was well within the range for the medium."

"Just completed a tour of the South Dakota Badlands and Black Hills. This pack performed flawlessly. It is very comfortable for loads up to about 18 pounds (the maximum I carried on this trip). The Air Core back panel is great for ventilation, and the shoulder straps and hipbelt are very comfy."

"I work at an outdoor outfitter store and have seen many technical daypacks, but I must say that the technology and thought that Osprey puts into their products is truly impresssive. I am really impressed with the amazing flexibility and venting ability of the Aircore suspension."
