Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Exos 48L Backpack:

Whether we're hitting the trail for an overnighter or attempting to set a new speed record on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Osprey Exos 48 Backpack is with us every step of the way. With a balanced volume, it keeps our packing habits under control, and it doesn't laugh at the strange things we say to ourselves as we hike. Meanwhile, the AirSpeed back panel and light-yet-durable alloy frame bestows us with breathability by dumping excess heat out of the sides, and cushioned, ventilated ExoForm covers the shoulder pads and waist-belt for extended comfort mile after fast-paced mile.

Details:

  • Lightweight pack for minimalist backpacking or weekend trips
  • 48-liter capacity balances storage space with speed
  • High-tenacity nylon endures miles of use and abuse
  • Tensioned backpanel keeps weight off your back for extended comfort
  • Highly ventilated for breathability during long days on the trail
  • Gearloops galore offer extra spots for poles, axes, gear, and snacks
  • Sleeping pad and compression straps can be removed to shave ounces
  • Osprey places emphasis on packs with comfortable back panels
