Celebrating 50 years of inspiring adventures worldwide, OSPREY, the renowned pack specialist, is marking the milestone with the launch of an epic competition, offering the chance to win up to £7500 towards an unforgettable adventure.
Founded in 1974, when founder Mike Pfotenhauer started crafting his custom-fitted, made-to-order packs, Osprey is now based in Cortez, CO, in the foothills of the San Juan Mountains. Now a HELEN OF TROY company, in addition to creating top-quality packs, the Osprey team aims to become one of the most progressive, transparent and sustainable hardgoods brands in the world.
From raw materials and chemistry benchmarks to progressive factory code of conduct agreements and programs that extend a product’s end of life, Osprey is taking a holistic approach and looking at every aspect of its business to ensure as little trace as possible is left.
The search for the OSPREY PACK LEGEND is on with proud owners of their treasured Osprey pack invited to share why their pack is a legend, including those that have faithfully accompanied through countless trails, peaks and extraordinary moments.
There are two chances to win with a first prize of up to £7,500 and second prize up to £2,500 towards an adventure experience in partnership with Exodus Adventure Travels. Osprey’s CULTURE & HISTORY from 1974-2021, as outlined on the brand website, is a fascinating insight into the evolution of an iconic outdoor brand with a global reach.
The drive for innovation and inclusion has continued with the launch last year of Extended Fit packs to provide optimal performance for bigger bodies. Made with the direct help and feedback of in-field testers, Osprey reworked its hip belts, shoulder straps, pocketing and more to deliver an extended fit that truly works like it should for everybody.
Osprey products can be found online at ospreyeurope.com and in specialty retailers in over 60 countries worldwide. Follow all brand updates on Instagram (@ospreyeurope), Facebook (@ospreyeurope) and Twitter (@ospreyeurope).
