Osprey Kyte LT 28 backpack

Osprey is a premier technical pack brand founded in 1974 by Mike Pfotenhauer in Santa Cruz, California. The brand is renowned for its innovative designs, lifetime warranty, and commitment to high-quality outdoor gear. While the brand has its roots in the United States, most of its manufacturing operations moved to Vietnam in the early 2000s to maintain quality control through local management.

In December 2021, Osprey was acquired by Helen of Troy Limited, an American consumer goods powerhouse. This acquisition has allowed the brand to expand its global distribution while maintaining its focus on sustainability and ergonomic design. The Kyte series specifically targets female hikers, offering specialized fit and technical features for trekking and outdoor adventures.
