The Osprey Aura women’s pack and Atmos men’s pack are customer favourites at Outside Sports, because they’re incredibly comfortable and well-ventilated courtesy of Osprey’s unique backpack suspension technology. Even when you’re carrying a load over long distances you might even forget you have a pack on your back. So before we take a closer look at the Osprey Aura and Atmos let’s find out more about the Osprey suspension technology that makes Osprey backpacks such a fantastic option for your adventures on the trail. In fact, Osprey packs are the first choice of Outside Sports staff for their own adventures – in New Zealand and around the world.

Osprey Aura and Atmos - Backpacking Perfected
Osprey Suspension Technology
Backpack Suspension systems are intended to do two things: transfer the weight of the load carried to your body efficiently and to help you move freely and naturally when hiking, mountain biking, running, or skiing/boarding.We think nobody does backpack suspension better than Osprey – and that’s why we carry such a wide range of Osprey packs.
Here is some of the unique technology used in Osprey backpacks
Osprey ANTI-GRAVITY™
Osprey Anti-Gravity is a3-D suspended mesh structure that contours to the parts of the body it touches. It uses a seamless suspended mesh that runs from your shoulder blades down to the hip belt to disperse and balance your load perfectly.
Osprey AIRSCAPE™
Osprey Airscape are light weight mesh-covered 3D-foam back panels that keep the pack close to your body for stability, cushioning and ventilation. The Airscape is a feature of all Osprey’s large gear-hauling and lightweight technical packs.
Osprey AIRSPEED™
Osprey Airspeed is a 3D-suspended mesh that eliminates foam to prevent a sweaty back. The lightweight mesh is shaped and contoured to the allow maximum airflow, optimal tension and load carrying comfort than only Osprey backpacks can give you.
Osprey Aura Women’s Backpack
The Aura is designed to fit a woman’s body shape. The Anti-Gravity system seamlessly envelopes your back and hips in 3D-suspended mesh. You’ll tread lightly on the planet too, because the Aura is made with recycled fabrics.
Osprey Atmos Men’s Backpack
The Atmos is Osprey’s biggest selling backpack worldwide. The Atmos is brother to the Aura and is designed to fit a man’s body shape, otherwise all its features are the same.
