Osprey Tempest Velocity

The Tempest Velocity uses a running-vest-inspired harness rather than a traditional backpack suspension system. This design distributes weight closer to your body, allowing for more agility and freedom of movement during fast-paced activities like trail running or speed hiking.

At 30 liters, it is well-suited for fast-and-light day hikes or ultra-light overnight trips. However, because it prioritizes speed and agility over heavy-load stability, it may not be the most comfortable choice if you are carrying a significant amount of heavy camping gear.

No, the pack features an external hydration sleeve for easy access, but the reservoir itself is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible hydration bladder to use that specific feature.

Yes, the pack includes dual low-profile attachments specifically designed for trekking poles or an ice axe. These are positioned to keep your gear secure without interfering with your stride.

The pack is water-resistant, meaning it uses bluesign® approved recycled nylon with a DWR treatment to shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof, so you should use a pack cover or dry bags for your electronics and sensitive gear in heavy downpours.

The Tempest Velocity is ergonomically designed for female anatomy, featuring a harness shape and backpanel length tailored to provide a more secure, comfortable fit. This helps prevent chafing and ensures the load stays stable while you are moving quickly.
