Choosing the right backpack for your trip is not always easy. The Osprey brand is a popular choice – it has become a household name among travel enthusiasts. When choosing the right model, it is necessary to take a number of factors into account, especially the back system.
The back system is a crucial part of every backpack. It is the engine that defines the suitability of the backpack for various activities – hiking, cycling, or everyday carrying. Back systems determine the load capacity, the method of ventilation and back aeration, as well as the carrying comfort of the backpack in different conditions. Choosing a back system is just as important as choosing the dimensions, volume, or material quality.
The OSPREY brand uses three different back systems for its backpacks, which are suitable for various situations.
AirScape™
“I want maximum stability and comfort for demanding activities”
The AirScape™ system sets a new standard for carrying comfort. It keeps the backpack load closer to your back – ensuring high stability. At the same time, it provides sufficient thermoregulation, which is ensured by foam ridges – air vents cool the body, and the mesh material wicks away sweat and moves it away from the body.

AirSpeed™
“I want great ventilation and comfort even in warm weather”The AirSpeed™ system is an ideal choice for comfortable travel in summer or during more demanding activities. It contains a flexible mesh membrane that creates an air gap between the backpack and your back, allowing for effective airflow – thus achieving incredible ventilation and comfort while carrying.
Load kept further from the body
High level of back and shoulder ventilation thanks to ventilated shoulder straps
Keeps you cool even in the hottest conditions
Thanks to its construction and level of ventilation, the AirSpeed™ system is primarily suitable for activities in very warm weather or for performance sports where you sweat more due to higher exertion.
AntiGravity™
“I want to carry heavy loads efficiently and comfortably”The AntiGravity™ system boasts a number of awards thanks to its clever design – it allows for high load capacity and maximum comfort thanks to 3D suspension in the lumbar area and a fully breathable hip belt. Thanks to excellent weight distribution, it does not restrict you in any way and provides sufficient range of motion while carrying.
