FAQs
What is the maximum recommended load for the Osprey Exos 48?
While there isn't an official maximum load, the pack is designed for ultralight backpacking, so it's best suited for loads up to 30-35 pounds.
How do I measure my torso length?
Measure from the C7 vertebra (the bony bump at the base of your neck) to your iliac crest (the top of your hip bones).
Can I use the Exos 48 for travel?
Yes, but keep in mind that the pack is designed for backpacking. Its ultralight construction may not be ideal if you need to carry heavy or bulky items.
What kind of hydration reservoir is compatible with this pack?
The pack is compatible with most hydration reservoirs. Osprey reservoirs fit perfectly.
How durable is the pack?
The Exos 48 is made with strong backpanel mesh and robust main body fabrics for increased durability. However, treat the pack with care to prolong its lifespan.
How do I replace the floating lid with the FlapJacket?
Detach the floating lid by unclipping it from the pack. The FlapJacket is integrated and can be used to cover the opening of the pack.
Troubleshooting
The pack feels uncomfortable or unbalanced.
Repack the items, ensuring the heavier items are close to your back and centered. Adjust the torso length and hipbelt to achieve a proper fit.
The hipbelt is causing chafing.
Ensure the hipbelt is positioned correctly on your hips, not too high or low. Adjust the fit and consider wearing moisture-wicking clothing.
The AirSpeed suspension is not providing adequate ventilation.
Ensure there is adequate space between the back of the pack and your back. Avoid overpacking, which can restrict airflow. Check for any obstructions, such as clothing, that may be blocking the airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Adjusting the Torso: Loosen the shoulder straps and hipbelt. Locate the adjustable torso system on the back panel. Adjust the ladder system to match your torso length (measure from the C7 vertebra to your iliac crest) by sliding the harness up or down. Ensure the hipbelt sits comfortably on your hips.
- Packing: Distribute the weight evenly, placing heavier items closer to your back and towards the middle of the pack. Use the compression straps to stabilize the load.
- Hydration: Use a hydration reservoir that fits the internal sleeve and route the hose through the designated port.
- Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water to clean the pack. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store the pack in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing the pack for extended periods.
