The color is true to the description. Sized right for my 5’4 frame.

Osprey backpacks are good quality packs, this is a very nice backpack, comfortable for day hikes. Totally adjustable, my torso is 17 1/2 inches, 126 pounds and 5’5” high. It fit perfectly! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the hip pockets are too small for my iPhone 12. Osprey should make the hip pockets bigger. So at the end, Gregory Maya was the winner for me.

I bought this backpack after having used a high sierra hiking backpack from Costco for years. It wasn't until I went into REI to get properly measured that I'd realized I was using an improperly fitted backpack and found this. The Osprey tempest is a women's cut hiking backpack. I never realized how well a properly fitted pack would be until I got this. For reference I am 5'2" with a torso length of 14 inches so I bought the XS size. The backpack is very comfy and lightweight. It's easy to adjust the straps to fit snugly against my body. I will say I have always loved Osprey. They make really high quality backpacks and are backed by warranty in case there's issues. To be fair though, my other Osprey I've had for YEARS and never felt the need to contact them for problems. The backpack does have a waist strap with pockets which kind of fit my Samsung S21 but honestly it barely fits in there. It's more of a struggle tj try to tuck it in there but it's doable. The bladder pocket as many others have noted is tight, but it's not necessarily unusable. I was able to fit a 2L Hydrapak bladder in with some effort. I think you're best bet would be to put the bladder in first before you start packing your bag. There's a nice helmet lock on the outside of the pack which frankly I don't use much except to attach my hat if I bring one hiking. All in all I would say this backpack is fantastic if you want a light, small backpack for a day hike. It's not meant for backpacking as the XS is only 18L but it will definitely fit all your essentials.

This was perfect for my height 5.4in and just enough to carry 5kg on my 17day trek.. it was very useful, the hold on my back was perfect coz I didn’t feel as it I was dragging.. it didn’t feel I was carrying a 5kg on my back and walking for 8-10hrs a day ..

Took it hiking. Have a neck injury so I need the extra hip support so it’s not pulling on my neck. Worked great! It’s a bit hard to get the water bladder in the thing tho…

Comfortable day pack for hiking. Last summer I even used it hiking the 21 mile through hike of The Enchantments. Was amazing. Backpack was comfortable and the right amount of gear fits in this one. My only issue is that the 32ounce hiking water bottles will fall out of the side water bottle holders if you bend down.

This pack is a great size to double as an every-day pack or a day-hiker. I carry my camera equipment in it and still have room for essentials like snacks, jackets, etc. The zippers feel super smooth and there are adjustment straps in all the right places (also super smooth to operate) to ensure all-day comfort. I carry my larger size Hydroflask bottle in one of the side pockets. I get a little creative and secure it in the pocket by running a carabiner through the handle on the bottle lid and then through the zipper pulls on the pack. I haven't found anything not to like about this pack. I haven't tried to put a water bladder in the hydration pocket yet. I think it will be ok if I stick to a 1.5-2L bladder. Unless you just need a bigger pack, I don't think you can go wrong with the Osprey Tempest 20L.

This pack is perfect for taking to the mountains while hiking. It holds everything I need. I love the quality of all the outer mesh pockets. Big pockets on the waist band and the whole thing is adjustable so the weight is on my hips instead of pulling on my neck and shoulders. The padded waist and shoulder straps are so comfortable plus the air behind the lumbar area is great… less back sweat. It took a bit to find where the water bladder went. It has one bladder hanger in the center but would be nice to add two more to the left and right to hang different bladders. I already had an Osprey backpacking pack so I knew this was high quality and definitely worth the money.

Petit dos, il est parfaitement ajusté, même très chargé il se fait oublier. Il a pour le moment résisté à l’eau de mer, le sable, la poussière il est donc taché mais la toile n’est pas altérée ! Cher… mais bon investissement pour voyager et randonner il passe partout

My wife and daughter LOVE these day packs I bought for them. I've been backpacking for a long time, and I've had my share of lesser packs. Osprey is the brand that most try (and fail) to upstage. Don't get me wrong, there are some really great packs out there. But it doesn't get any better than this. With the forever guarantee from Osprey, you can't go wrong.

Je possède ce même sac depuis 10 ans en 35 litres, mais mon épouse n'en voulait pas ! Je lui ai offert pour son anniversaire en cadeau car elle commençait à souffrir du dos lors de longues randonnées. Avec ce sac, une fois bien ajusté, elle fait sa rando de 20 bornes et au revoir les douleurs dorsales........voilà un cadeau bien utile, merci osprey.
