Osprey Soelden 32 Touring Pack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack checks all the boxes for a midsize, all purpose, backcountry ski rig. The design is clever and useful throughout. While I was suspicious of a main compartment entry via zippers on the back pad, it proved to be both easy to use and straightforward. The basic harness is adjustable enough for several body sizes and it rode comfortably all day. I appreciate the well designed internal zipper pockets which helped organize the do-dads. A great overall ski pack. Photo is from a spring ski tour in the Snowy Range outside of Laramie, Wyoming, May 2025.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally wore out my first Soelden 32 pack out after many hundreds of days of bc skiing and hiking over several years. I looked at a lot of other packs to replace it with, but this is still the best backcountry skiing pack on the market in my opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect pack for day backcountry trips. Can fit gear, lunch, and extra layers in it. Love the pockets for shovel and probe, and helmet. Stoked to get out there and rip with this thing! Holds weight well too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pack. It’s my mtb trail building pack. I can fit my sawing helmet in the little helmet spot. Which is great. Tons of room! Just enough pockets. I really dig the hip pocket. I find the quality to be super durable. Almost to a fault because the only annoying thing is sometimes the zipper on the main pouch can be a B to zip. I think it’s because the frame and probably what you would want for a zipper there, toughness. No big really. Glad I went the osprey route!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing back pack that is well designed for touring. Great gear management and very comfortable.

I have been using this pack for my snowboarding trips this season, and so far, I LOVE IT! This particular gold and black pack is such a good-looking pack. I love how the main compartment is on the back side rather than the front. So, when I need to put my belongings in and out of the pack, snow doesn't get on me. It's very comfortable and meets all my needs as far as what I need it for.

I've put 200k vertical on my Soelden in the backcountry. I use Drift boards and carry my solid board on all uphill, so my main priority is how effectively the pack carries a board, and then organization is a close second. I haven't found a pack yet that absolutely perfect in every detail, but this checks most of the boxes. Durability is top notch, I think most people could get one of these and never buy another pack again (but Osprey will take care of you if anything came apart anyway,) I use Osprey for mountain biking and travel as well. Hard to beat.

I have gone through 3-4 different backcountry packs, and this one just feels like I'm not even wearing it. I don't notice it uphill or downhill. Beautiful pack!
