When it comes to spearheading unique collaborations in the gear-universe, no brand does it better than Carryology. Year after year, legendary brands trust them to deliver on special releases. Osprey included.
Cue this limited edition Archeon Pouch daypack between Osprey x Carryology. It’s an ultralight treatment of the original design, modified with an Aluula Duralyte shell that’s known for its tough featherweight build. Other features include a custom co-branded patch on the exterior, a peripheral zipper that allows the pack to expand, and an included removable shoulder strap. And as if this collaboration couldn’t get any better, the two brands crafted a matching Osprey x Carryology Archeon 30 backpack, purpose-built to carry the daypack on its front straps.
Osprey Co-Founder Mike Pfotenhauer grew up as two things—a budding outdoor enthusiast and a guy who just couldn’t find the right backpack to keep up with his al fresco adventures. In 1974, at just 16 years old, he decided to solve his own problem. He picked up a sewing kit, learned to work a needle and thread from his mother, and created his first backpack. Thus, Osprey was born—and every single product design has passed through Mike’s hands to this day.
We aren’t the first to tell you this, and we certainly won’t be the last, but Osprey bags are one of the smartest investments you can make in the outdoor space. The brand prioritizes fit, comfort, and utility in every product. (It’s no wonder so many of our HQ employees choose Osprey as their outdoor gear brand of choice.) Whether you're heading out for a weekend camping trip or embarking on a week-long thru-hike, Osprey ensures your gear works with you—not against you.
