Description

Osprey Glade 20 Snow Sports Backpack

The Osprey Glade 20 is a streamlined unisex backpack for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and other active winter pursuits. Its stable carrying system and versatile external attachments keep essential equipment organised without unnecessary bulk.

An insulated harness sleeve protects the hydration hose and bite valve in cold conditions, while a separate compartment provides quick organisation for avalanche-rescue tools. The hydration reservoir and safety equipment are sold separately.

Key Features

• Easy J-zip access to the main compartment

• Separate avalanche-safety equipment compartment
• Diagonal and A-frame ski carry

Designed for Winter Equipment

The external compression and attachment system supports several ski-carry configurations as well as snowboard or snowshoe transport. A snow-shedding back panel helps reduce the accumulation of snow and ice against the wearer.

Cold-Weather Hydration

The shoulder harness incorporates an insulated sleeve for a hydration hose and bite valve. This helps delay freezing in cold weather, although performance depends on temperature, exposure time and movement. A compatible reservoir is not included.

Materials and Carrying System

The durable 420D NanoTough™ main fabric is highly water-resistant and abrasion-resistant. An Atilon framesheet adds structure, while the removable webbing hipbelt allows the pack to be configured for the activity.

Technical Specifications

• Secure skis, snowboard or snowshoes according to Osprey’s instructions before moving.
• The insulated sleeve delays freezing but cannot guarantee that water will remain liquid in all conditions.
• The fabric is highly water-resistant, not a substitute for waterproof inner protection for sensitive equipment.
