Eja 48 women's hiking backpack

The Osprey Eja 48 women's hiking backpack perfectly combines low weight and carrying comfort. Its suspended mesh back and foam-and-mesh shoulder straps also make it highly breathable. The Osprey Eja 48 suits enthusiasts of multi-day ultralight hiking in hot weather. Its lid is removable to save even more weight.

A lightweight, breathable carrying system

The Osprey Eja 48 lightweight hiking backpack has a suspended mesh back.It lets air circulate between your back and the pack, limiting perspiration. A slim aluminium frame supports the back. Mesh covers the full back length, so the whole area in contact with the wearer is 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 48 pack has load-lifter straps.

Storage

To keep weight down, the Osprey Eja 48 lightweight hiking backpack has streamlined storage. Its capacity is nevertheless more generous than the manufacturer's stated 48 L. It suits multi-day hiking with wild camping.

• A main compartment accessible only from the top.

• A hydration bladder compartment with a hose outlet sits inside the main compartment.

• Two open side pockets for water bottles, for example. Bottles can be positioned upright or at an angle for access without removing the pack.
