Osprey Packs is back at it again, launching an exciting lineup in their Hike collection for Spring 2026. Expected to hit shelves in February 2026, the collection introduces updates to Osprey's core premium franchises and new simplified pack designs. The focus on fit and suspension technology signals Osprey's commitment to catering to the growing outdoor community seeking comfort and performance.
Among the highlights is the Kestrel | Kyte LT, built on the trusted foundation of the original Kestrel and Kyte technical packs. This all-around hiking and backpacking option promotes stability and adaptability, thanks to its updated sliding harness yoke. This system allows for an impressive five inches of torso adjustability and a breathable AirScape backpanel, ensuring a snug and secure fit for a confident carry.
Durability is a hallmark of this new offering, made from a rugged, bluesign® approved, and 100% recycled polyester main body fabric. The Kestrel | Kyte LT comes in a range of capacities—28, 35, 45, and 65 liters—to cater to various adventure needs and is available in an array of earthy, seasonal colorways that resonate with nature enthusiasts.
For those who appreciate the simplicity of hiking gear, Osprey continues to impress with the Osprey Sportlite series. The Spring 2026 update includes a wider volume range, featuring a new 22-liter pack, alongside a revised sizing structure. Smaller volumes—15, 20, and 22 liters—will have a unisex fixed-fit harness, while the larger sizes (25 and 30 liters) offer an adjustable fit with five inches of torso range adjustment.
Sustainability remains at the forefront, as Osprey constructs the Sportlite series using 100% recycled ocean-sourced nylon. Additionally, the innovative Osprey Sportlite Hydraulics® models come equipped with a hydration reservoir and dual water bottle pockets in the 15-liter and 20-liter options.
Adventurers looking for trail performance at an approachable price can turn to the all-new Hikelite LT. Perfect for casual to moderate hikes, this minimalist daypack offers essential features, including a full AirSpeed suspension for ultimate comfort, large stretch side pockets for extra gear, and a built-in raincover to shield against the elements. The Hikelite LT is available in three sizes—16, 22, and 30 liters—making it versatile enough for different hiking scenarios.
Osprey Packs continues to evolve and expand its offerings, ensuring that all outdoor enthusiasts can find the perfect gear for every adventure. With a clear emphasis on fit, suspension, and comfort, the Spring 2026 Hike collection pushes boundaries and meets the demands of today’s adventurers.
