    Default new osprey exos 45

    Has anyone bought and or used the new osprey exos 45 pack. I just order one yesterday they look sweet and light. I'll be getting mine early next week. I'll let y'all no what I think.

    It's the Exos 46. I bought the 58, haven't used it yet. Looks huge though.

    I got an Exos 58 and it is plenty big. I like the 2 side pockets on the outside. I sent my Aether 60 back for this one. Plan on using it for my Thru starting 3/22...fingers crossed.

    I tried one on at REI yesterday. Super comfortable, and feather light. My only concern is I'm not sure I would be able to have my overall pack weight within the comfort range (~25 lbs). I might get one eventually but the color is pretty ugly.

    Odd. The one in my garage doesn't seem cheaply made.

    The 58 sitting next to me is not cheaply made at all. Loaded it up today with all my gear and 3-4 days food, weighed in at 25 pounds. Felt great.
