Osprey Backpacks and Gear

Osprey is a world-renowned brand specializing in high-performance backpacks and travel gear. Founded in 1974 in Santa Cruz, California, the company built its reputation on innovative designs, high-quality materials, and custom-fit technology. Initially starting as a small retail shop where the founder, Mike Pfotenhauer, hand-sewed packs for hikers and travelers, the brand quickly expanded into a major outdoor industry leader.

While the brand's design and engineering remain deeply rooted in its Colorado-based headquarters in the United States, production was moved to Vietnam in the early 2000s to leverage specialized technical textile craftsmanship. In 2021, Osprey was acquired by Helen of Troy Limited, a global consumer products provider, marking a new chapter in its corporate ownership while maintaining its commitment to sustainability and product longevity through its famous All Mighty Guarantee.
