Kyte 48 Women’s Trekking Backpack

About the Osprey Kyte 48

Made from tough recycled nylon, the Kyte is the workhorse of the Osprey brand – redefining what an all-mountain women’s backpack can be. With an array of features for every outdoor activity, it is capable of doing it all. From overnight camping trips to winter climbs, the Kyte excels.

LightWire 3.5 suspension forms the foundation of the Kyte. It transfers the load of the pack directly into the Spacermesh harness and hip belt, improving weight carry. With an Airscape back panel that features a rigid mesh-covered foam to promote ventilation, the Kyte sets the standard for comfort on the trail.

A bespoke women-specific frame allows for improved comfort. Specially designed shoulder and hip fins hug the female form, in order to maximise load transfer to the hips without imposing and creating rubbing points on the body.

With a capacity of 49 litres, the Kyte 48 is designed to be a do-everything mountain bag, optimised for carrying enough equipment for a couple of days of adventuring. Access to the gear is effortless thanks to a large U-shaped zipper which permits quick access to items in the front panel. This allows for additional organisation when packing and sorting equipment. Coupled with a traditional top lid drawcord for access and a lower compartment with a removable sleeping bag divider, the Kyte provides an array of categorisation options.

Nylon-reinforced water bottle pockets provide a durable means of storing the essentials and those with a preference for reservoirs will be pleased to know that the pack is hydration system compatible. Dual hip belt pockets combined with a large, front shove-it pocket facilitate the carry of those must-have essentials. A top lid pocket keeps maps and larger items on hand, while a key clip keeps those must-haves safe.

To set the standard of a modern, all-outdoor bag, the Kyte comes equipped with an integrated/detachable rain cover for those sudden showers on the trail. Stow-on-the-Go allows you to stash walking poles without needing to remove the bag, for those times when you need both hands for a scramble.

An array of webbing and compression straps allow for carrying larger items such as sleeping pads. There’s an ice axe attachment loop too, so you can carry winter hardware when venturing into the unknown.

The Kyte line opens up the possibility of tackling mountainous terrain, deep forests, and long-distance trails. It sets an industry standard for the all-outdoor bag, letting you carry heavier loads in complete comfort.
