The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

The Osprey Tempest 20 is a great day pack for hiking, cross country skiing, or mountain biking. It is comfortable to wear and easy to adjust depending on what clothing I am wearing. It has hipbelt pockets and a top pocket for small items and a good size main compartment that is a great size for extra layers and snacks. I wish it had another pocket/organization system in the main pocket as the one small pocket fills up quickly and I end up with other small items floating around in the main compartment.

Overall I am very happy with the versatility and comfort of this pack and recommend it!

Ideal for
  • Comfortable and highly adjustable for a customized fit
  • Ideal capacity for day hiking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking
  • Breathable AirScape backpanel
Not ideal for
  • Less pockets/internal organization than I would prefer

Does Osprey Tempest 30 come with a rain cover?

The Osprey Tempest 30 backpack does not come with a rain cover. Osprey's High Visibility Rain Cover in size small is a good fit for the Tempest 30, as it fits packs up to 35L.

Came to the site again (with previous good experience from other departments) in need of a tent and footprint-- Elizabeth was great with recommendations and offering more options that stayed within the budget but weren't on the radar to begin with. That and helping with other recommendations generally for hiking/camping, she is greatly appreciated!

Was looking at a camp stove and saw the Eureka Sprk+. Found a lower price from another site but Elizabeth price matched. She was very responsive and professional. I was able to get an awesome deal. Reach out to her if you’re shopping for something!!

I am planning a 2024 thru hike on the Appalachian Trail (hiking my I own hike) to salute the the end of my 60s, and beginning of my 70s. Elizabeth is so helpful, supportive, offered some great advice, and made wonder recommendations. She's my five star personal shopper. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’m taking a couple month backpacking trip and needed all new gear that I am unfamiliar with. Scott was able to help me find everything I needed; if something did not fit my budget or was not quite right for me, he suggested different items to help me find the perfect gear. He responds quickly and always checked in to maintain communication. He’s easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be asking Scott for help again. Great all around experience.
