However, all of these cool features come with a weight penalty. The Endo is even heavier than the Osprey Syncro.

Gregory Mountain Products was begun in 1977 by Wayne Gregory in San Diego, California. Gregory was no stranger to building and designing outdoor equipment. I like to evaluate how environmentally friendly the brand is when I research and review outdoor gear. I’d say that Osprey is one of the more sustainable and eco-conscious brands. Sometimes I’m in my hiking gear, and sometimes I have to spiff up. Sometimes I sleep on the ground around a campfire, and sometimes I have a hotel and a shower and I can wash my sox.Adjustable torso provides 3.5" of adjustment, allowing for a custom fit without compromising support.

Shoulder straps are beautifully designed, anatomic and with a great padding. The same material is on the waist belt. It boasts incredible ventilation and many useful features. But what really sets it apart from most other brands, including Gregory, is its one-of-a-kind anti-gravity suspension.

It’s all medium-density nylon, which strikes a balance of durability and weight.I know I am a gear freak but I also know that many times my well being and safety depend on the clothing and equipment I am using. To this end working with someone like my friend will result in getting the best piece of equipment. It would be a shame to lose this type of service. Even though it’s a lightweight model, the Optic comes with fully padded shoulder straps and waist belt. I’m carrying an Osprey Manta 28 bought in 2018. It’s too small, kinda heavy, and is quite angular and cumbersome as a carry-on… plus the hip belt is wimpy. Webbing keepers make sure the excess straps on the side compression straps are kept under control. I wish the shoulder straps had webbing keepers too.
