Key Features
- Lightweight & Versatile Design: At only 2.27 pounds, the Tempest 22L is engineered for extended wear across varied terrain and activities. Its streamlined 22-liter capacity supports full-day excursions without unnecessary bulk, making it a reliable choice for hiking, biking, and day travel. The balanced weight distribution and compact silhouette prevent drag and allow for natural movement, whether you’re navigating switchbacks or weaving through city traffic.
- Precise & Breathable Fit: The AirScape™ backpanel is designed to maximize airflow between your back and the pack, significantly reducing heat buildup during sustained activity. Paired with the BioStretch harness and an adjustable sliding yoke, it delivers a customized women’s fit that conforms to your torso shape. This system ensures the pack stays stable and comfortable during dynamic motion—whether you’re scrambling up a ridge, pedaling uphill, or walking long distances with a full load.
- Multi-Sport Versatility: Built to transition between disciplines, the Tempest 22L includes a Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment for quick access on the trail, a LidLock bike helmet attachment that secures your helmet when not in use, and a tuck-away ice ax loop for mountaineering or winter hiking. These integrated features allow you to carry essential gear securely while maintaining a clean, unobstructed profile.
- Smart Storage & Organization: The main compartment offers ample space for layers, snacks, a first-aid kit, or a lightweight jacket, while the dual-zippered hipbelt pockets provide secure, easy-access storage for items like a phone, energy gels, or multitool. A spacious top panel pocket keeps frequently used essentials—such as sunscreen, sunglasses, or a trail map—within quick reach. Stretch mesh side pockets accommodate standard water bottles or collapsed trekking poles, ensuring hydration and gear are always close at hand.
- Hydration Compatible: An internal sleeve is designed to hold a hydration reservoir (sold separately), enabling hands-free water access during long hikes or intense bike rides. This feature supports consistent hydration without the need to stop and dig through your pack, making it especially valuable during endurance activities or in warm conditions.

Important Notes
The hydration reservoir is not included and must be purchased separately. For optimal comfort and load distribution, always adjust the sliding yoke and hipbelt to fit your torso properly. While the pack is durable and built for daily use, it is intended for single-day adventures and may not be suitable for carrying multi-day expedition loads. Avoid placing sharp or abrasive objects directly against the stretch mesh side pockets to prevent snags or tears. This product reflects Osprey’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, utilizing verified recycled materials in its construction.
