Why We Like The Osprey Escapist 25 Bikepacking Backpack
New for 2024, the Osprey Escapist 25 Bikepacking Backpack is a fully featured pack with heaps of organization, an integrated rain cover, and special features to support cyclists and bikepackers. This 25-liter pack features Osprey's bike-to-hike fit, marrying the well-ventilated Airscape back panel from its hiking packs with a dropped lumbar and split, adjustable upper backpanel that keeps our load centered when we're bent over in our riding position. On top of Osprey's typical suite of purposeful pockets, the Escapist is tricked out with a front-panel pocket with tool pouches, an internal stabilization sleeve for bulky bike accessories, and external attachments for our bike helmet and blinker light. Always at the forefront of sustainability, this pack also features eco-certified recycled materials and a PFAS-free durable water repellent finish.

Good Commuting
User for daily commute with a 15 inch laptop. Plenty of space for waterproofs, tools and flask. Cool back now in warm weather and more stable than the laptop backpack.

Bag for life
I was bought an Escapist 25 in 2014 for cycling to university. By 2017, after three years of daily commuting in London, plus being bashed around on ski lifts and hauled up mountains, it was looking fairly worse for wear. Osprey replaced the snapped buckle, posted me new zip pulls, and stitched up the broken webbing for free. Back on the road it spent a year in Australia, crossed Tongariro, became engrained with dust at the top of Sigiriya, hiked through monsoons between Thailand and Myanmar, and got squashed against a load more ski lifts. After finding it languishing at the bottom of a wardrobe, misshapen, ripped and surely irreparable, I sent it back to Osprey again thinking at least that it might get recycled. Instead they honoured their 30-year guarantee and sent me a brand new 2025 model in replacement. I’m blown away by this company’s commitment to their products.

I'd rather have had my
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd rather have had my old 1 repaired. New pocket design is poor. Doesn't hold water bottles. Great service for replacement, poor quality product. Feels cheaply made compared to previous product.

Love the organization
For most people, this is the right backpack. Pull the trigger and get it. Love the many pockets; it helps keep me organized without it being too much. My only qualm with it, is that it feels a little too long for my frame, although I understand it is unisex and I’m short (5’1, 140 lbs). I adjusted the backing of it and still feels like I’m too short to fit it correctly. And with the shoulder straps tightened extensively, it’s a bit of an inconvenience to get out of the backpack, dinosoaring my arms out to get out of it. Because of my build, I’d give the backpack an 8/10. I’ve tried backpacks build specifically for a woman’s frame and while they fit just right- (deuter for example), the osprey backpacks blows comfort and quality out of the water. I’ve tried the osprey’s tempest that’s for women but I really love the pockets this has and that it’s 25L.
