Osprey Kamber 32 Men's Ski Backpack

Okay, so... 32 is Huge. Definitely a lot more room than necessary for a little guy like me. I am 5'7, 145lbs. The bag itself looks amazing, I absolutely love the design, the pockets, etc. The zippers are super intense though. They're hefty and really solid, easy moving zippers. The color is pretty rad, very vibrant. I can't wait to get out next summer and explore the city with this on my back.Um... I think I may order a smaller pack though, this 32 is just way too bulky, I feel like my camera equipment would fit in a smaller pack and be just fine. I could use outside pockets for my rain jacket or umbrella. The smaller pockets do hold my Dude wipes, keys and other stuff. Haven't found a spot for easy access to my phone so it kinda hangs out in my pocket still.However, I just love the pack's design. The color and contours will definitely turn some heads this summer. Yeah. So. Yeah. Pros and cons time.My pros and cons may not matter much to avid hikers and skiers, but for people who want a great pack to explore and travel with. I gotcha covered.Pros:Color! Very vibrant, stands out so well and is so unique.Design! The contours fit the human torso perfectly and it is so comfortable to wear. No rubbing or riding weird, just perfectly distributed weight and comfort.Pockets and doodads! Yeah, just yeah. You guys already know how Osprey is top-notch with that. Still can't fit my phone in the waist pockets but whatever. My keyfob fits just fine. I love it.Size! - I can fit about four days worth of clothing in here which means that it is a great weekend getaway pack. I even had a pair of boots in it.Cons:-If you travel abroad, the color may make you stand out more so than you'd like.-Size is Not compact, so weight could be an issue over time.-The Whistle is upside down.-Nothing else.I'll add pictures later.

I looked at several packs before settling on this pack. I've only used the pack for a week, but I can say that my homework has paid off nicely. The way the main compartment is laid out and accessed through he back is very convenient, and the outside compartment is great for quick access to avi gear etc.. The helmet bonnet also comes in handy. I love this pack !

My husband bought this to carry his gear while helping our younger kids carry all of their ski equipment. He carried sandwiches and chips in tupperware containers for 7, granola bars and snacks for all of us, a couple of small gatorade bottles, his goggles, helmet, ski boots, and wallet, keys and such. The unique curved shape of the back fit the backpack to his back perfectly, allowing him to carry all the weight comfortably. Osprey makes a great product, worth the money for the quality and warranty that back this thing. It's designed to carry the sharp edged skis and not get wore out, but it made us feel better knowing that they back their product and will fix any rips and tears. He is 6'4" with an "average" torso for his size, and was worried that he should have gotten the smaller size when he first opened it. This bag is long, but after using it he's glad he got the larger one. He was able to spread out the weight of the items down the length of his back instead of outward, and not feel like it threw off his balance while skiing. He was also able to sit on the lifts with the backpack on. We would recommend this bag to anyone.

Great pack. Feels great while hitting the steeps. Moreover, the pack feels good while wearing it on the lift. I would, hands down, but this pack again. I will buy the same pack for my son, when he is ready for a pack.

I bought and tested 3 different packs (Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 32L, Osprey Kode 32L and the Kamber 32L) specifically for backcountry snowboarding to see if they could fit all my gear comfortably.The Dawn Patrol was pretty disappointing right off the bat with small gauge zippers and a very thin fabric which while ripstop did not feel very sturdy or water resistant for a pack I knew was going to come into A LOT of contact with snow.The Kode was a close 2nd and while there were'n't groundbreaking new features added between the sunsetting of the Kode last season and the introduction of the Kamber this season, it was enough to push me over the edge.The Kamber is intelligently designed with backcountry travel in mind.1) The dedicated avy gear pocket has a nice bright red 'oh sh*t' J Zipper to open the compartment immediately should things go sideways.2) The Helmet carry no longer overlaps the avy pocket so your helmet can rest out of way ot getting to your tools for rescue or for digging pits.3) BIG GUAGE ZIPPERS! Why every company is not doing this I have no idea, but the bigget teeth and pulls on the main compartment make it much much easier to open and close the bag with gloves on, not to mention, not having to worry about busting a zipper if you're packed pretty tight.4) Wais tbelt is a breeze to adjust with only 1 strap on each side5) Main compartment zips all the way down the back to the base of the pack so you can fully open (and leave open) the main compartment (The BD pack wouldn't unzip all the way making it difficult to pack the main compartment)6) Nice mini frame (rigid wire?) around the main compartment allows the pack to keep it's shape wellA Few things I would like to see improved:1) the zipper on the insulating shoulder strap for the hydration pack isn't wide enough for the nozzle so I can't fully protect the nozzle from freezing. Not a huge problem for me since I'm in Tahoe and we don't get super cold. I can zip it down enough so it's just barely poking out, but a wider/deeper pouch would be nice2) a 3rd sleeve in the tool pocket would be great for a snow saw3) The tool pocket is a little too large IMHO. Most backcountry peeps I know ONLY want to carry avy/snow pit tools in there, but I have a little too much extra space in there and not enough in the main compartment so I'm forced to carry my repair and 1st aid kit in there as well. Again not the end of the world, but a strict dedicated pocket would be ideal.4) Would love to see a waterproof, zipped pocket for phone, keys etc

Good product, well thought out and sturdy, wish it had a few more compartments

Le sac à dos parfait pour faire du backcountry. Taille,compartiment rangement,solidité,attache pour équipement.J’adore.

Buenísima!!!

Sehr schöne praktischer stabielet und durchdachter Rucksack ich hatte bisher noch nie einen Rucksack mit vergleichbarem Trage Komfort, der Rucksack trägt sich fast von selbst ich konnte keinerlei Einschränkungen beim Aufstieg noch beim abfahren mit denn tourenski feststellen würde das geld sofort wieder investieren da dieser Rucksack allen ansprüchen gewachsen ist

After all the video and other reviews i went trough I'm happy to say that this backpack is pretty awesome. It has a a lot of good features that I was looking for. As a photographer I can carry a lot of important gear or with it's 32L. Shoulder straps and waist belt suit me good.Main compartments, inner pockets have easy access and top one is pretty big. I recommend this backpack for freeride skiing and other outdoor sports. It fits great to the back.

Used it for snowboarding back country. Overall great bag. I’m 5’9 and when you back it to the max capacity it you do feel the weight shift around. So it can pack a lot, not recommended to hold lots of gear while boarding.
