Osprey

We here at Popular Brands are big fans of Osprey, the backpack brand that has been hauling gear for outdoor enthusiasts for over four decades. Founded in 1974 by Mike Pfotenhauer, the company started out of a small sewing shop in Santa Cruz, California, with a mission to create high-quality, durable backpacks that could withstand the rigors of outdoor adventure.

Fast forward to today, and Osprey is a household name in the outdoor industry, known for their innovative design and commitment to sustainability. Their most popular products include the Aura and Atmos series of backpacks, which feature Osprey’s patented Anti-Gravity suspension system for maximum comfort on the trail.

The Osprey logo, featuring a stylized bird of prey in flight, is a nod to the company’s namesake and a symbol of the freedom and adventure that their products enable. Speaking of adventure, Osprey has a strong commitment to protecting the wild places we love to explore. They have a program called “All Mighty Guarantee” which promises to repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge—even if it was caused by normal wear and tear.

When it comes to customer satisfaction, Osprey has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. As for the BBB rating, it’s not specifically listed on the Osprey’s BBB profile but it’s in good standing.

All in all, we can confidently say that Osprey is a brand that we highly recommend for anyone in need of a reliable and well-made backpack. Whether you’re hitting the trails for a day hike or setting off on a multi-day backpacking trip, Osprey has got you covered.
