Best praise vs top criticism for Osprey Tempest 20
“I’m an average sized woman, wear a women’s Medium, but after a decade of one-bagging, I finally travelled through Japan and Singapore for a month with only a half full 20L Osprey Tempest this last summer. This included classical music performances that I played in and a hike up Mount Fuji, so lots of different clothing requirements. I previously used the same bag to travel through Europe for 2.5 months and China for 3 weeks, but it was more full. I totally get your clothes are larger, but a lot of it is in how smart you pack, and how much sink laundry you’re willing to do. Every time I travel I get a little better at packing. ”
“Been looking all night for reviews to see if anyone else is having my problem and you might just be the person to ask. My husband measured me and I'm a 17 inch torso. I ordered the md/lg tempest 20. I am having a hard time with fit. I have the panel all the way in. I am pear shaped and feel like in order to not have it resting on my butt I have to raise it up but then the belly strap ends up about 2 inches above my belly bottom. Would sizing down help? This whole pack just feels awkward however I've never worn any frame pack so I have nothing to compare it to.”
