Constructed of ultra-durable Velocity fabric, the GoLite Odyssey Backpack boasts a moldable framesheet with two adjustable aluminum stays for maximum comfort. The shaped back panel and compression-molded hip belt wings contour to the back and hips to keep you happy no matter what you're hauling. The adjustable webbing hip belt has two bellowed mesh pockets for easy access to items, the sleeping bag compartment has a removable interior shelf, and two angled side stretch mesh pockets allow for convenient storage. The side compression straps release and join to opposite sides for carrying a snowboard or snowshoes, and the comPACKtor system lets you neatly tuck in extra pack space. All these incredible features for only 3 lbs 8 oz!
Great so far.
Used once so far - for a seven day trip. Wish I'd have bought this years ago. The Odyssey is 3 pounds lighter than my Gregory pack and not that much smaller. Has all the features I need and carried well. My only concern is whether the outer side slots will hold up well carrying skis in the winter. Overall - highly recommended!
Go Lite provides a means to do just that (go lite)
The odyssey pack is a large volume pack with great support many features and at the weight of a day pack. It is perfect for extended trips with light weight gear. It carries like a dream and you have an option of cinching it down for summit day! I have a whole stable of back packs and this is by far my favorite!!!
