A lightweight, breathable carrying system
- The lightweight Osprey Eja 38 hiking backpack has a suspended mesh back panel. It allows air to circulate between your back and the pack, reducing perspiration. This panel is supported by a slim aluminium frame. The mesh extends along the full length of the back: the entire area in contact with your back is therefore ventilated.
- The breathable mesh shoulder straps are padded with thicker foam over the shoulders. They are height-adjustable.
- The adjustable hip belt is also lightly padded with thin, breathable foam.
- The Eja 38 backpack has load lifter straps.
- A carry handle sits at the top of the back panel.
Storage
To keep its weight down, the lightweight Osprey Eja 38 hiking backpack has simple, no-frills storage. Its capacity nevertheless feels more generous than the 38 L stated by the manufacturer. It can suit a weekend hiking trip without wild camping.
- A main compartment accessed only from the top of the pack, with a cordlock opening.
- A hydration bladder compartment with a hose outlet sits inside the main compartment.
- The removable lid contains a zipped pocket on top and another underneath with a key clip. The lid can be removed to reduce the weight even further. A simple flap then closes the top of the backpack.
- An open stretch pocket on the front of the pack, secured with a buckle, holds a map or waterproof clothing.
- Two side pockets also provide storage for water bottles, for example.
Accessories
- Pole and ice axe attachments on the back, plus a front pole holder so you can reach your poles without taking off your pack.
- Side compression straps.
- Several attachment loops for ropes or other equipment.
- A height-adjustable chest strap with a safety whistle.
The Osprey Eja 38 backpack does not come with a rain cover. To protect the pack from rain, we recommend the Highlander waterproof rucksac cover.
