The Osprey Exos 38 is an ultralight technical backpack built for multi-day trips where every ounce counts. Made from 100% recycled materials, it pairs an AirSpeed suspension with a seamless ExoForm harness and hipbelt to keep airflow moving and the load stable over long miles.

The floating lid can be removed and replaced with the integrated FlapJacket to protect gear, while stretch mesh pockets, dual ice axe loops, and Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachments keep essentials within reach. Available in S/M and L/XL torso sizes.
