Osprey Rook 65 Men's Backpack Review by Backpacking UK

Review Summary

The Osprey Rook 65 backpack is a 65 liter backpack. The reviewer mentions that the backpack is supposed to be one of Osprey's more budget options, with a price of 160 pounds. The review mentions that the backpack has been used for the past three months and is suitable for summer backpacking and wild camping. The main reason the reviewer thinks the backpack is good for summer is because of its lighter weight and comfortable back system.

The back system of the backpack is described as being full mesh, with a frame that sits off the backpack for ventilation. The back system also has a ladder lock system for adjustment, with four different loops that allow the user to adjust the fit of the backpack. The reviewer mentions that the back system is very comfortable and suitable for carrying loads of less than 15 kilograms. In addition to the back system, the backpack also has adjustable hip pads and straps that are made of ventilated mesh. The reviewer notes that these straps are not as padded as on some of Osprey's higher end backpacks, but are still comfortable for lighter loads.

The front of the backpack has a sleeping bag compartment at the bottom, which has two heavy duty zippers and a divider between the two compartments. The backpack also has two mesh side pockets, which are suitable for carrying water bottles and can be accessed from the top or the side. In addition to the side pockets, the backpack has two zippered hip pockets, which the reviewer uses to carry snacks such as apples, cakes, and energy bars. The review also mentions that the backpack has a water hydration reservoir and a hose that can be attached to one of the shoulder straps. The backpack also has a detachable top pocket and a rain cover.
