I recently purchased the Osprey
I recently purchased the Osprey Rook 65 directly from their website, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it. The build quality is excellent, the materials feel durable, and the overall price-to-value ratio is outstanding.
I used this backpack during an XCC survival event, where it was pushed to the limit for 72 hours straight. Despite the intense conditions, it performed flawlessly. The support, comfort, and load distribution were far better than I expected in this price range.
One feature I really appreciate is the included rain cover — a must-have for unpredictable weather. I’m also a big fan of the dedicated sleeping bag compartment. It’s surprisingly spacious; I was able to fit both my down sleeping bag and my sleeping pad in there without any issues.
Overall, the Rook 65 is a fantastic backpack that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and great-value pack for outdoor adventures or survival challenges.
