OSPREY

Founded in California in 1974, Osprey packs are worn on the highest mountains to the remotest islands and everywhere in between. In addition to creating top-quality packs, the Osprey team is focused on becoming the most progressive, transparent and sustainable outdoor hardgoods brand in the world.

From raw materials and chemistry benchmarks, to progressive factory code of conduct agreements and repair programmes that extend a product’s end of life, Osprey is looking at every aspect of their business to ensure they leave as little trace as possible. Osprey is dedicated to creating innovative, high performance, sustainable gear that reflects the brand’s love of adventure, devotion to the outdoors and steadfast resolve to leave the world better than they found it.

TECHNOLOGY

As well as utilising decades of pack expertise Osprey also turn to their sponsored Ambassadors & Athletes out in the field for prototype testing. These dedicated professionals rely on their equipment in some of the harshest and most challenging environments, pushing themselves and the packs to their limit. The materials used, the features chosen, have to meet the needs of these environments and support these athletes every step of the way.

SUSTAINABILITY

Osprey are dedicated to the outdoors and their sustainability journey began in 1974, with the creation of the first backpacking pack. By designing high quality, durable backpacks that are built to last, they have always sought to minimise the quantity of material that goes to landfill and protect the very environments that their packs are designed for. This ethos is paired with ongoing actions towards sustainability and environmental responsibility.

HISTORY

Osprey was born in California 1974 at the seat of a single sewing machine by Mike Pfotenhauer in Santa Cruz California with a head full of ideas and a desire to design & build innovative backpacks to the highest quality.
