What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Osprey Tempest 40
Best Praise
+3 pts“Yes, a better quality backpack can make you more comfortable. Your base weight doesn't really matter for this conversation. It is a term used by communities like this in order to allow people to make comparisons even if they are doing different trip durations or distances. For a conversation about appropriate packs, your total pack weight is more important. Even an 8lb base weight, if you have to carry 15lbs of consumables, would merit a framed pack. A Tempest 40 is a good pack, although you can get a lighter good pack. Durston, Gossamer etc provide light framed packs. Because you are a smaller person, ensure that you get one that matches your size and gender.”
