Most would agree that sporting goods can really cost us. The more I thought about this, the more angry I became. I thought about all the opportunities that an active, outdoor lifestyle bring to an individual’s life. Family time, healthy benefits, and a positive outlook on their environment—an active lifestyle should not be ran from because of the cost of products like shoes, warm clothing, or backpacks.
Purchasing a new travel backpack was a goal I had set out on about a year ago, but expensive prices from REI and other companies scared me away. Across the board, these backpacks seem to carry more than just your travel necessities—they seem to carry an insane price as well.
So when I came across this Osprey Porter pack, I was sold. Not because of its hauling capabilities or stylish look, but because of its extremely affordable price. Compared to some that can go for a whopping $300-400, the Osprey has a vastly comparison.
After purchasing the Osprey, I learned that,along with a great price, the pack was the total package. My backpack is very reliable, weather-proof, light and sustainable, and easily capable of carrying all my hiking necessities. :)
