Osprey Variant 37 Pack

Active Junky likes being prepared for even greater challenges around every turn.  Our Sun Valley film crew grabbed the Variant for top-loading security and multi-point attachment flexibility.  More alpine than pure big mountain, Variant allowed wearers to keep pace with athletes from pre-dawn until late afternoon, glades to moguls.  For men and women pursuing higher elevations, A-frame ski carry and a three-point haul system mean confidence on summit ridges and in couloirs.  Tour it, even with heavier loads, courtesy of an EVA foam expedition belt.  When shooting got hectic and the top flap was not secured, Osprey refused to cough up its contents. If you’re looking for a pack to carry across the seasons and around the world (and even employ for fast-packing sprints), Variant 37 carries the day.
