I've only had it for a month, but it has proved its self already with ice climbing excursions! Very comfortable, carries exceptionally well when loaded, and I love how the crampons and ice tools attach! I am 5'3 and 110lbs. I went for size medium even though small was my recommended measurement. I did that to accommodate for winter layers and more jackets under the pack, as well to get the increase in volume (52L). It was a great choice! People have complained about not having an exterior pocket for a nalgene. I carry my liquids on the inside so there is the smallest chance possible of hang ups of gear in trees, etc, but if you wanted a nalgene would easily fit in the crampon pocket. I would give this pack 6 stars if I could! Best pack I own, and if it ever needs replaced I would definitely repurchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Weirdly configured. *by A***R on June 13, 2019* Sort of weirdly configured, and not super light. Sold recently and bought the new Dyneema Alpine pack by Mountain Hardwear and am very happy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pack but if you want one for snowboarding get ... *by A*** on August 17, 2017* Good pack but if you want one for snowboarding get the Kamber 42 but if you want hiking and snowboarding this is a great pack for you! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/71545787-osprey-variant-52-liter-backpack](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/71545787-osprey-variant-52-liter-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
