Osprey UNLTD Backpack Review - The world's most expensive backpack!

- Here is a review of my Osprey UNLTD Backpack. This is the most expensive backpacking bag in the world! Osprey backpacks have taken all their knowledge and experience and put it all into creating this Osprey Unltd 64 Anti Gravity backpack bag.
This Osprey backpack uses the Osprey anti gravity back system. To me it’s the most comfortable system you can buy for carrying weight. The trade-off is a higher pack weight but I promise you it pays dividends later when carrying the backpack fully loaded.
The Osprey backpacking bag has lots of innovative features. I love the clamshell design with duel access. The 3D printer by carbon lumbar support really does help you lower back.
Whatever you think of this pack, it’s great to see backpacking gear companies pushing themselves and pushing the limits of camping gear.

I treated myself to this pack last year, and have to agree with you - it is truly awesome. So comfortable, easily adjustable and very functional. I love the clean look of it too and all the other amazing features. Yes its expensive, yes other rucksacks can do similar things - but this is like the luxury SUV of backpacking and well worth it for the long term investment for backpacking, camping and travel in general. The only downside (apart from price) is that it takes some consideration in terms of best packing for mulitiday backpacking/camping. i.e you can't just cram everything down as with traditional sack, but on the plus side if kit is organised well, the easy access to stuff more than makes up for it. enjoy it 👍
Thanks for sharing, great to hear from an owner 👍
Nice one Andy.
I just bought the new exos 58 which is awesome.
That looks amazing !!
Like you said I’m sure over time those features will be made on some of the more std bags.
Great review as always.
Cheers Graham
I've just purchased the Exos 48 for summer use with a trekking pole tent. Can't wait to try it out!
@@BackpackingUK
Your love it Andy.
I was talking to you before about atmos 65.
Decided to go with exos 58.
Just been on a winter camp on the South Downs.
Got all my gear in it 👍.
Trouble is I still like the atmos 🤣🤣
Great video thanks I just got myself the 32 lt version fantastic pack I do mostly Camino walks I had many other packs including Aarn packs which are very good too
I own the Airscape 68 , in Australia, it’s the best pack ever for a long trips eg;3 days or more. The most comfortable pack ever with loaded weight in it. Usually about 18kg with three litters of water. At the end of the day my feet hurt from carrying the extra weight but my upper body is as fresh as I started. Yes I transferred from the atmos 65 to this pack. It really is the next level of comfort. I agree get your head around the fact that its 2.5kg but its 2.5kg of comfort not 1kg with pain and limitations from ultra lights. We’ll done Osprey.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Which is more comfortable? Airscape or this anti gravity version ?
I've got the Airscape UNLTD 68 and about to put it to serious use over the coming Autumn.
I hate the fact most people are obsessed with the pricetag and yes I agree it is ridiculously priced but i went mad after receiving a cancer all clear. Big treat to myself.
I suppose in hindsight I should have just gone for the Atmos but we're all guilty of the occasional moment of weakness...
A thing of beauty it is though.
Nothing wrong with treating yourself 😁 It’s an awesome backpack, I love it!
Love the clam shell design plus love vented back also back gel not lover of bum bag but each to the own lot lot of money.I don’t drink or smoke any more so would consider buying it if my one fell apart? Fantastic review something different I have had cheaper 🚗 over the years than that rucksack 😂😂
😂
Have you won the lottery lately Andy? A new £700 tent and a £650 backpack 😂 As nice as it may be, I just can't get past the price tag for a back pack. Cracking review once again, looking forward to a review out using it in the future. ATB Paul 👍
I’ve got to give it back in a few months. It’ll be nice while it lasts though 😁
Firstly, allow me this opportunity to say 'great review' and thank you. Unfortunately Osprey 'lost' ALL my interest when the price was mentioned. 🤔Mmnnn! Now let me think... Would I spend £650.00 on a 'back-pack' (no matter how comfortable it may be?). A simple, quick and easy answer: NO, so I won't be rushing out to buy one in the near future - LOL - But hey! Look at the positives... 😃I'm still smiling and am £650 richer👍
I see it as 1) Osprey innovating and 2) Osprey testing the water to see how much people are prepared to pay for a backpack.
Interesting that the price in UK is higher than in EU. I have got it for 480€ last year, but the price jumped as today to 560€. For someone who is traveling or hiking regulary the price is trivial as the price difference is only a cost of a dinner for a couple in the downtown, but for someone using is only couple times per year I would suggest as the example the Deuter Vario which is exactly with same loading system, price of 200 € and weight of only 1.8 kg. I switched from Deuter to Osprey because of Antigravity system which is realy very comfy.
Great review as always! Price is too steep for me but maybe sometime in the future I'll treat myself to a more expensive backpack.
Obviously, this is top-top end. However, the Atmos 65 is an awesome packs and can be found for approx £200 is the sales.
Thank you Andy. 🤠👍
No problem 👍
Awesome review brother. Thank you so much. How much does the lumbar pack weigh alone? I know together it is abt 2.5 kilos.
I have it over over a year now. It is comfy practical for urban travel, like eurorail travel inbetween cities or quicky weekend air jumps visiting cities of Europe. I bougth it for 480€, at that time my Atmos 64 was 280€ and there is not a big difference in the price regarding it is a basic tool carrying stuff artound. Weighting both, I found that Atmos is 400 g lighter, removing brain even 620 g lighter, which is the weight of my winter mat. So I kept Atmos as my basic multidays hikes rucksack.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Debating between the Antigravity UNLTD and the Airscape UNLTD. Any thoughts? I bought the UNLTD AG 32 and love it but it's too small
Thank you for sharing I've seen so many reviews on this unjustified expensive backpack from a world known brand and all agreed it's not worth a dime I mean not because of the backpack itself but the price is simply out of this world , the Osprey AG 65 that is around $250 does the same fonctionality as this one , for $700 you can buy so many equipment for your hiking adventure, I believe Osprey attempt on this backpack was a huge mistake it should have been at max $300 not $700 for my side I've purchased Gregory zulu 55 Halo Blue and I'm so happy with it, osprey should revise the price.
That's a ridiculous price, for that amount I'd expect a sherpa for the entire trip out 👋
😆😆😆
Now that's funny... 😃👏 👏 👏
The absence of the mesh on the outside back is what stops me from buying it . I don't understand why they didn't put it like on the Atmos
I would spend £650 on this backpack IF my intention was to haul 20kg+ around the world. Otherwise; it's simply not worth it (imo).
If you're doing 3 day hikes; there are much more suitable & much cheaper options, as I'm sure everyone already knows.
I'd say that's the market it's aimed at, Jetset Backpackers!
@@BackpackingUK Do Osprey do a "Buzz Lightyear" version?
If you are paying 200 dollars for a sleeping pad, 500-600 dollars for a tent & 300-500 for a quilt or sleeping bag why not pay 700 dollars for a pack? If you're buying the best in all you other gear why not buy the best pack?
Not thinking of the price difference would you choose this over the atmos 65?
Yes, but there’s not much in it. The clamshell design on the UNLTD is superb.
@@BackpackingUK you mean that’s really the only difference? Not sure what you meant. I plan to be carrying a heavy pack. Is it more comfortable than the atmos or about the same?
Anti gravity. Does it come with a dog collar and lead?
😂😂😂
As a 6ft 4" newbie to backpacking just wondered if you could recommend a budget 65l rucksack(£70 max)
There’s lots of sales out there at the moment. Have a good look around at places like Go Outdoors, Blacks, Millets, Trekitt, Taunton Leisure, Decathlon, Alpkit, SportsShoes, etc. Personally I think a 65L pack is perfect 👍
Forclaz backpacks from Decathlon are excellent - 70L MT100 is 70GBP and is an excellent bag, lots of other options in decathlon too
@alexp2398 Thank you, someone recommended Highlander bags. Have you used them?
I’m 6’2” what size should get to fit me. S/M or L/XL?
100% L/XL 👍
62 and thinking of small/medium? Where is that? NBA? :-)@@BackpackingUK
Man, can you tell me the Osprey in Europe is made in vietman? Or europe have the own osprey's factory? i'm from indonesia, the osprey was made in Vietnam.
Thanks for the review man
Sorry, I don’t know.
@@BackpackingUK most indonesian people always mention every single product's "Made in ...." when they review a product. FYI you can find it in the hang tag and the label on the wall of the packs. Maybe later you can tell me, hahaha thanks man.
Can’t wait till you find out about Stone Glacier packs…
I'll check them out!
Scandalous.
There's no denying, it's a bit outrageous, but fair plan to Osprey for pushing the boundaries.
For that kind of money I'd want the kind of technology that Moss pioneered in the IT Crowd to bring the pack alive and move with my body. But without burning my tits.
😂😂😂
Very nice, but how much? ill stick with my Atmos AG 65 for now me thinks lol
To be honest, there’s not as much difference between the two as the price would suggest.
@@BackpackingUK the Atmos was pricey enough but it WAS worth it, i did get it last year based partially on your review, but ill be expecting a few years of service before I'm in the market for another one.
Tracking UPS, I am receiving my Atom Packs Mo40 custom this Monday, 1-23-2023. Ordered it Nov. 19, 2022. Looking forward to it
Let me know what you think of it. They look really cool on insta 😎
Jesus 650 noway could justify that personally think my dearest was 350 karrimore sabre 60 to 100litres in mtp not big fan of military type stuff but comfort is unreal so can live with it till knackered
It's eye-wateringly expensive. I guess if you've got a packet why not?
Mate, I just got my exos 58... I know one day ill end up wi5h one. It looks mint....
I got the 48 version for summer backpacking when I take my trekking pole tent.
@BackpackingUK yeah, I've not told my missus that I still haven't got a proper summer bag yet... she's only just about agreed to let me get an x-mid 2 and zenbivvy lightbed and a large xtherm because I'm doing lands end to John O’Groats for charity this year. I can't add another 650 to that list, especially after I already got 6 bags in the last 7 months. 😂
@Craig Elliott - Perhaps because it cost's a 'mint' !? 😎
🙂👍
It would be cheaper to pay someone to carry all your gear for you!
I’ve always wanted a Sherpa 😂
You really say "really" a lot
I really don’t know how to stop it 🤦🏻♂️
£650??? Really, Really, Really a Rip Off & huge piss take by Osprey.
