Product Highlights

Designed for performance-demanding adventure travelers who really need their luggage to serve double-duty as a fully functional backpack, the Waypoint 80 delivers load-carrying capability, 5000 cubic inches of storage capacity, an array of features and the customized fit for which Osprey is renowned.

Constantly striving to enhance comfort and performance, Osprey has equipped the Waypoint 80 with a fully-featured suspension system. In expectation of comfortably carrying loads of up to 55 pounds, the Waypoint 80 employs dual support rods and a spacer mesh foam backpanel to grant strength and stability. This design enhances balance by effectively distributing weight. A textured backpanel and integrated harness maximize comfort and help to reduce heat build-up between the pack and your back. Further enhancing fit, the padded hipbelt utilizes an ErgoPull closure that draws tension along the top and the bottom of the belt. A sliding sternum strap and load-lifter straps allow you to fine-tune fit with on-the-go adjustments. Each of two available sizes of the Waypoint 80 offers torso adjustability. The M accommodates torsos lengths ranging from 18" to 20.5" and the L is designed for torso lengths that exceed 20". When checking the Waypoint 80 at the airport or the train station, you can safely tuck the harness and hipbelt behind an integrated zippered security panel to ensure that your pack stows safely.

Both sizes of the Waypoint 80 offer ample room for carrying clothes and gear. The M Waypoint 80 provides 4900 cubic inches of storage capacity and the L has a 5100 cubic inch capacity. The main packbag is accessed by a wide-opening front panel zipper. A large, zippered mesh pocket on the inside of the front panel is ideal for separating and organizing clothes and gear. A zippered interior mesh side pocket offers an additional storage option and internal compression straps allow you to safely secure the contents of the Waypoint 80. Stretch-woven side pockets keep water bottles and other gear close at hand and integrated, removable straps are strategically placed to haul a sleeping pad.

A large pocket on the front of the Waypoint 80 can be detached for use as a fully functional day pack. Integrated shoulder straps and a padded backpanel provide stability and comfort. An adjustable sternum strap further enhances fit. The day pack has zippered panel access, as well as a large front pocket. Dual stretch-woven side pockets are perfect for carrying water bottles. After a day of adventure, the pack safely and securely buckles back onto the front of the Waypoint 80.

Other special features of the Waypoint 80 include external gear attachment points, dual ice axe loops and a sternum strap buckle that doubles as a safety whistle.

Constructed of durable 500D Broken Twill fabric and both 500D and 1000D plain weave Nylon, the Osprey Waypoint 80 is available in your choice of color options.
