Osprey’s Downburst backpack is not afraid of sea spray or bad weather! Featuring a waterproof main compartment, the bag also features quick-drying exterior materials that are well-suited to rainy days. For trips ashore, the Downburst is equipped with a breathable, comfortable AirSpeed suspension system. This makes the bag easy to adjust and provides ventilation for rapid drying, even in hot, humid weather or after a rain shower.
To ensure watertightness (certified IPX5 - non-submersible), the interior of the bag is fully protected thanks to its laminated PU, integrally RF welded construction. The bag also features pockets on the outside, a large pocket on the inside of the back panel and an external hydration reservoir sleeve with center pass-through port.

The bag is made from recycled nylon fabric and features PU-laminated YKK RC external zippers for enhanced weather protection.

The Downburst is available in men’s and women’s versions, in two sizes and four colors - yellow, dark gray, green and blue.

Recommended retail price: €320-350.
