FAQs

What is the capacity of the Osprey Tempest 33?

The Osprey Tempest 33 has a main compartment capacity of 33 liters, making it suitable for full day hikes or light overnight trips.

Is the Tempest 33 waterproof?

The Tempest 33 is made from durable nylon material that offers good water resistance, protecting against light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend using a separate rain cover (not included) to keep your gear completely dry.

Can I use a hydration reservoir with this backpack?

Yes, the Osprey Tempest 33 is hydration-compatible and features an external hydration sleeve for easy access and refilling of a reservoir up to 3 liters (reservoir sold separately).

How do I clean my Tempest 33 backpack?

To clean your Tempest 33, hand wash it in a tub with cool water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and hang it upside down in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Is this pack suitable for men?

The Tempest 33 is specifically designed as a women's-specific fit, meaning the harness and hipbelt are shaped to better suit female body contours. While some men might find it comfortable, Osprey offers the Talon series as a men's equivalent with a male-specific fit.

What is the recommended maximum weight for this pack?

Info needed: Osprey typically recommends a comfortable carrying range for their packs. For a 33L pack, this is generally around 20-30 lbs (9-14 kg), but always consult Osprey's specific guidelines for optimal performance and comfort.

Does the Tempest 33 come with a built-in rain cover?

Info needed: While many Osprey packs include a rain cover, the Tempest series typically does not come with one integrated. It's advisable to purchase a separate rain cover if you anticipate encountering wet weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Pack feels uncomfortable or causes shoulder/hip pain.

Ensure the pack is properly adjusted to your torso length. The hipbelt should bear 70-80% of the load, resting on your hip bones. Adjust shoulder straps and load lifters to pull the pack close to your body and distribute weight evenly. Refer to the 'Setup' section for detailed instructions.

Pack feels unstable or gear is shifting inside.

Pack heavier items closer to your back and centered in the main compartment. Use the internal and external compression straps to cinch down the load, minimizing movement. Re-adjust the load lifters and sternum strap for better stability.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to open/close.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a small amount of bar soap to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing stuck zippers.

Hydration reservoir is leaking or difficult to fit.

Ensure the reservoir cap is securely tightened and all hose connections are firm. Inspect the bladder for any punctures or tears. If it's difficult to fit, ensure the reservoir is not overfilled and the external hydration sleeve is fully extended.

Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment is not secure.

Make sure the basket-end of the pole is fully inserted into the lower elastic loop and the upper bungee loop is pulled taut around the pole handles. For thinner poles, you may need to twist them slightly to create more friction in the loops.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort and fit due to women's-specific design and dynamic suspension.
  • Stable and balanced load carrying, moving fluidly with the body during activity.
  • Convenient access to essentials via hipbelt and harness pockets.
  • Versatile for a range of activities, from challenging day hikes to light overnight trips.
  • Dedicated attachments for specialized gear like trekking poles and ice axes.

Cons

  • Top-loader design may make accessing items at the bottom of the main compartment less convenient.
  • 33-liter capacity might be limiting for multi-day trips requiring significant gear.
  • Hydration reservoir is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Potential for items to shift if the pack is not properly compressed or packed due to single main compartment access.

Setup1. Torso Length Adjustment: The Tempest 33 features an adjustable torso length. To set it, loosen the webbing strap behind the backpanel, slide the harness up or down until it matches your torso measurement, then tighten the webbing securely. The harness should sit snugly on your upper back.2. Hipbelt Adjustment: Position the hipbelt so its padded section sits squarely over your iliac crest (hip bones). Cinch down the hipbelt straps evenly until it feels snug and supportive, carrying about 70-80% of the pack's weight.3. Shoulder Straps: Pull the shoulder straps forward and down until they are snug. The anchor point for the shoulder straps should be about 1-2 inches below the top of your shoulders. Avoid over-tightening, as the hipbelt should bear most of the load.4. Sternum Strap: Adjust the sternum strap for comfort across your chest. This helps stabilize the pack and keeps the shoulder straps from digging in. It also features an emergency whistle.5. Load Lifters: Located above the shoulder straps, these straps pull the pack closer to your body, enhancing stability and comfort. Adjust them to a 45-degree angle.## Compatibility- Hydration Reservoirs: The Tempest 33 is compatible with hydration reservoirs up to 3 liters. It features an external hydration sleeve for easy refilling.- Trekking Poles: Utilize the Stow-on-the-Go system by sliding the basket-end of your poles through the lower elastic loop and securing the handles with the upper bungee loop.- Ice Axes: Use the lower ice axe loop to secure the head of your axe and the upper bungee tie-off to secure the shaft.## Care- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the pack with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap). For a deeper clean, hand wash the entire pack in a tub with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is gone.- Drying: Hang the pack upside down in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, to air dry completely. Ensure all zippers and pockets are open to promote airflow. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the pack's materials and coatings.- Storage: Store your clean, dry pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid compressing it excessively for long periods to maintain its shape and padding integrity.
