Osprey Rook 65L Men's Backpacking Backpack, Dark Charcoal/Silver Lining

I bought this backpack for my adult son who has just gotten into backpacking/camping. He loves it. It’s the perfect size and weight for hiking difficult terrain. There’s tons of room for storing the things he needs. The material is lightweight and durable. The zippers are easy to pull and use. He is so excited to take this on hiking trips!

Overall this backpack has fantastic value, unbeatable in terms of $$. It's really high quality (and Osprey in my opinion makes some of the most high-quality gear). The price is low compared to equivalent backpacks yet it has a premium feel to it all. Zippers are very sturdy and the fabric is tough and doesn't tear. Lots of padding on the belt and shoulders. I used it on a 4 day backpacking trip starting with 35 pounds of gear/food/water. It fit my bear canister sideways no problem. Pros: - Favorite feature is the Airscape back system, this is one of the main reasons i went wiith this bag. - I ended up loving the angled water bottle pockets on each side, made it very convenient to drink without stopping. - Comfortable up to 35 lbs. - Has all the adjustments you would expect for custom fit. - Large and sturdy, good fabric and zippers (it's surprising how they did not cut corners on quality for this lower-cost backpack). - Built-in rain cover is convenient, i did end up using it for very light rain. - "Sleeping bag" compartment accessible from bottom/outside divider can be removed for a larger main compartment. Cons: - No large outer mesh pocket - No access to main compartment from the back - Is not an ultra-light backpack (3.7 lbs.). Overall i highly recommend this backpack as an upgrade to keep for a long time, or as a first backpack if you're looking for what to get. You will not be dissapointed

Bought for a 5 day backpacking trip and worked perfectly. Much more comfortable on me then the cheaper bag I had before. Not a whole lot of space and 5 days is honestly the max I would stretch using this bag but at the same time it kept me from packing too many things I didn't need. I really like the mesh back section that keeps the actual bag off your back.

This backpack is exactly what my grandson wanted. It is a great size with many compartments. Even came with a cover to keep it dry in inclement weather. It is very well made. He was very happy with his Christmas gift.

It's very good.I loved it the very lights

Most comfortable pack I've definitely ever used, the features are simple and well thought out. It doesn't do anything it doesn't need to do. Very high quality as expected with osprey packs. It fits well, and rides comfortably on the hips. The straps are stiff but have broken in well but not too quick I can see this pack lasting quite a lot more seasons

Great pack. Would have been 5 stars but I don’t like the bottom of the main pack. It has a weird separater from the bottom pouch that has openings on both sides. Sort of like a diaper. And things fall thru the main pack and into the bottom pouch

Incredible pack! I order the Rook 65 along with the “highly reviewed” Granite Gear 60 (voted best back for comfort on long hikes) and this rook blows it out of the water in comfort, adjustability and design! It handles weight really well I am hauling about 45 lbs and is very good and distributing the weight to your hips instead of your shoulders. It is made out of tough material offering great protection from rough trails and light rain.
