FAQs

Is the Osprey Exos 48 an ultralight pack?
Yes. At approximately 1.21kg, it's designed for lightweight backpacking while retaining more structure, ventilation and carrying comfort than many minimalist ultralight packs.

Is 48L enough for multi-day tramping?
For lightweight setups, yes. A 48L pack is well suited to overnight and multi-day trips when your sleeping bag, mat, shelter and other equipment pack down relatively small.

Can you remove the top lid?
Yes. The lid can be removed to save weight, with the integrated FlapJacket™ protecting the top of the pack.
