The story of Ospray began in California in 1974 with nothing more than a mower, a head full of ideas and the desire to create innovative backpacks that meet the highest standards. To this day, Osprey backpacks embody the pioneering spirit of those days, from the highest mountains to the most remote islands and everywhere in between. Because the company cares about the environment, only durable and high quality products are developed that are not dependent on fashion trends and do not encourage or force the customer to wasteful consumer behaviour. Wherever possible, reusable or recycled materials are used and the company is careful not to overproduce wastefully.
