Sternum strap with emergency whistle– I didn’t personally use this but manypeople that hike have said it has saved their lives!

Overall, I LOVED the fact that Osprey came out with similar bags built differently depending if you’re a man or a woman. I think details like this make it different to other universal-fit brands. Here are some of the key features of the Tempest 20L hiking bag. A Shaped Harness The Tempest 20 is the women’s version of the Osprey Talon 22that we have already reviewed. While it features almost everything that the Talon 22 does, it does have some slight changes to its design that allow it to be more suitable for shorter women (or even for smaller men).When we received them, we were so happy. We actually spent a while loading our bags with various items just to test them out, they were amazing. The measurement of most influence is the capacity; at 20 l, it's somewhat spacious whilst passing on-flight suitcase regulations. Most important of all, the dimensions are 51 cm x 27 cm x 23 cm. Round The Side And On The Front The shoulder harness and hip belt are made with BioStretch materials, die cut EVA foam and stretch fabrics so they flex and move with your body for un-restricted movement when scrambling, climbing and trekking. Seamless lumbar-to-hipbelt body wrap and BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificing stability for dynamic body movement

Side tension straps are linked to the hipbelt. By tightening these straps you can stabilise the load but reduce the hipbelt flexibility. Where balance is critical tightening them can help you feel more secure. However, if you are striding out over easy terrain it’s better to loosen these straps to allow full hip flexibility. Spacious and practical, providing a safe haven as you embark on longer trips Osprey Tempest 20 (1-094) The Tempest 20is specifically designed to take into account the female bust. This together with the adjustable hip straps ensures a perfect fit for the female form, whateverthe measurements. A narrower yoke If you need a bit more room or scope for longer day hikes, you could try out the Osprey Tempest 30. The features are all very similar to the smaller Tempest 20, but with a top loader and ten more liters to play with, it just gives a little more wiggle room. One of the most appreciated features that both the Talon 22 and the Tempest 20 have is the 3L hydration sleeve that is separate from the main compartment, and has additional waterproofing to prevent any water damage being done to your gear if you spring a leak.Although Osprey is not known for being the cheapest brand, it’s a durable brand. Osprey’s hiking and mountaineering equipment are always of the highest quality. Buying Osprey means you don’t have to run out to replace your gear in a few months. Integrated BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificing stability for dynamic body movement Injection-molded AirScape framesheet with die-cut foam provides a close-to-body stable fit while offering flexibility and ventilated airflow channels for active use The shoulder straps on the Tempest 20 are very comfortable. They are designed for a woman’s chest and turn out instead of cutting into your chest. The straps are lightly padded and covered with mesh to keep you cool and not absorb much moisture when sweating. Thus started my mission to find a bag that was more supportive so that my physical pain would be no more!

Water-Resistant– This is not critical since I don’t usually want a day hike unless the weather is good. As for the exterior attachment options, the Tempest 20 has everything you’ll need. It has attachments for trekking poles, a helmet and ice-tools. There’s also an LED light attachment, and the sternum strap doubles as a safety whistle in case of emergency. Features like those are always appreciated, whether needed or not. Materials and Design
