Founded in California in 1974 by Mike Pfotenhauer, Osprey quickly became a top choice for backpackers and travelers. Starting with custom backpacks made by Pfotenhauer himself, the brand was built on the belief that adventure is accessible to everyone. Osprey designs products for all types of adventurers, with fully adjustable features to ensure an exceptional fit and optimal performance.
Osprey has undertaken several initiatives to ensure alignment with its sustainability values. In addition to eliminating PFAS-based DWR from 100% of their fabrics, the brand actively sources recycled materials and BlueSign-approved fabrics. At its core, Osprey is dedicated to designing products built to last a lifetime, making durability a hallmark of the brand and a stamp of the quality of all its products.
