Osprey Renn 65L Women's Backpacking Backpack, Blue OS

I like this pack. Compared to other 65 liter Osprey packs, it is shorter in length, lighter weight, and has the trampoline designed harness backing to keep the back cooler when hiking, all reasons I had for ordering it. I was pleased the find I could actually get my water bottle inside the side mesh water bottle pockets when wearing it. And I was able to zip and unzip the hip belt pockets when the pack was loaded. The accessibility of water bottle pockets was something I struggled with when I tried other backpacks and finally settled on the Eja 58 L pack; however, the difficulty accessing both sets of the pockets on the Eja created a lot of frustration for me. I also injured my back when trying the Eja and attributed the injury to perhaps overloading the volume (not weight limits) of the pack creating some imbalance so I decided on a larger volume backpack as a way to stabilize and balance the load, thus the Renn 65L. One criticism I have read about the Renn is the lack of a front “stuff it” pocket. The Renn has a remedy for that: it is designed so an Osprey Daylite daypack can be attached to the loops on the front of the pack. This is an easy way to include a day pack and could be used for additional storage although I would avoid putting too much weight in it. Instead of the day pack, I also considered attaching a very light weight mesh bag to the loops on the Renn such as those designed for attaching a bicycle helmet to a backpack which would mimic a “stuff in” pocket. I didn’t try either. In the end, I returned the pack to Amazon mainly due to the trampoline type harness feature. Although that backing felt extremely unique and comfortable initially, when the pack was loaded, I wanted the pack dialed in closer to my back to decrease backpack sway. I was unable to accomplish that with the Renn or the Eja.

Great bag! So much space, seems durable and very comfortable to wear when full. Can’t wait to use it! The first one I ordered came obviously opened and returned with the rain cover missing and visable scuffs on the bag. Had to call Amazon for help as no replacement option was available on the app. I was able to get a new and sealed replacement after speaking to customer service. Very satisfied!

You’re paying for quality, and you can’t go wrong with an Osprey. This is not their most expensive backpack, but you’re also not sacrificing anything with this model in my opinion. I bought the women’s model, and the weight, balance, and comfort are great. The separate sleeping bag compartment is adjustable and really practical. The top compartment is a bit hard to access, but not a dealbreaker. If your hiking poles are fully collapsible they can fit in the side pockets. An all around good product. Go to the Osprey website for videos about this backpack.

I went hiking for the first time with this pack and it was perfect, almost felt weightless (and I packed for a 6 day backpacking trip at the Enchantments). Sturdy, reliable, and comfortable. Even my friends that were seasoned backpackers tried it out and are considering this over their current packs.

I was hesitant to make a big purchase online without fitting the pack to me first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to fit to my frame. There are all types of adjustments that can be made to find the best comfort and fit for you. I love that it had shoulder straps that allowed me to pull the pack closer to my body for a better weight distribution and internal frame support. The pack size allowed me to fit my tent, sleeping bag, food, water and gear for 5 days, all inside. The internal straps allow you to secure your items and make the most of all of the space. I also had to use it in torrential rain and the rainfly was very easy to use, and it's attached to the pack, so you wont loose it in strong winds. I also love the high quality canvas of the pack, it's durable enough for rugged conditions and the color is sooo cute! The only downsides that I can see is that the pack seems heavy even before I put my gear into it, and second issue is that the hipbelt pockets are too far back to be useful. The only way to access them was by taking the pack off. If they were floatable or adjustable, it would be helpful for getting snacks, holding a cell phone or other small items you might want access to while hiking and backpacking without loosing time by having to remove the pack, which we all know, when it is full, it is not an easy task.

Great backpack! Lived up to its reputation.

This is a good sturdy pack. It's adjustable from torso length 15" to 18". However, if you're on the smaller side, it may not fit perfectly. I wish it fit me better. I'm 5'1" and 125 lbs. I could not get the shoulder straps to tighten enough after adjusting the back to my torso. I had a fitting at REI and the packs like the Aura and Ariel fit better since the adjustment system allows for XS/S and Md/LG sizings as opposed to just 1 standard size. They're also more expensive. Try the Renn, it's a great pack! for the price I wish it fit me better. Hip belt is comfy and the mesh back is great for summer hikes. the inside is roomy enough to fit all my gear plus food and water for 2-3 days (like when you have to carry in water for unsafe/ dry areas).

Great pack. Comfortable. Lots of room.

Muy buena calidad de acabados y capacidad espectacular. La inclusión de bolsa impermeable es un punto a favor y el peso es muy bajo para su tamaño y características. Lo que me ha extrañado es que, aun siendo para mujer y adaptable en altura, en la posición más corta sigue quedando demasiado grande para una mujer de 1.60cms. Creo que empieza a ser perfecta a partir de 1.65cms al menos. Otra cosa que no me ha gustado es la abertura única por arriba. Si usas el hueco de abajo para el saco, ya sólo puedes sacar y meter cosas desde arriba, lo que complica el encontrar cosas sin deshacerla. Para mejorarla, he puesto paracord elástico y cierre en la parte frontal para agarrar más cosas. También en el bolsillo superior.

Good and comfort

Lo zaino come regalo di Natale ha fatto felice mia figlia. Veramente molto razionale nello sfruttamento dei volumi e molto accessoriato. Ottimi i materiali. Collaudato subito come bagaglio in stiva.

High quality, adjustable. Fits my 5'2" wife very comfortably and allows her to carry everything you can jam in this pack.

Der Rucksack ist wirklich groß und es passt ordentlich was rein. Sehr praktisch zum Reisen. Qualitativ echt gut. Ich bereue es nicht ihn gekauft zu haben
