Ugh I just ordered a Raptor 14 and Katari 7 last week....they were 50% off and now they're 60% off.



EDIT: I called Osprey and they adjusted the pricing from what I paid. They can do that within 14 days of original purchase, just FYI.
Great deal! I bought my Raptor 14 before one of my adventure races in 2022 for $120 and didn't regret it for that price. It has held up over dozens of races and MTB rides. It feels so comfortable while riding that I use it almost exclusively since my phone is safer there than most anywhere else.

One piece of advice for any biking bag is to wash it regularly if you sweat. My bag is in my dryer as I type this. Be sure to put it in a mesh bag if you're washing it in a washing machine with an agitator.

Thank you!! Repped.

I spent hours researching last night about different packs and the Raptor 14 went OOS.


I ended up getting the Raptor 10 instead. I just ordered the 14 and will compare.


Hopefully their return policy is as decent as their warranty…

Black is still in stock. Make sure you go to the correct page. There is a product page with the newer current year model, and then this other page has the discounted last year's.

I ordered on the 11th and received my order on the 15th. Solid CS there.

The Raptor 10 is pretty big. Can't imagine riding with the 14. Glad I picked the smaller pack. Also picked up the little Savu 2 for $22. I used it last night. I liked having the water bottle and just the necessary tools along for the ride. Great deals.

Ordered a 14 men's on the 11th… order confirmation, but zero shipping notification so far… emailed their support yesterday no reply yet. Ordered the hikelite on the 13th late evening and that one says will be delivered tomorrow mid day (18th). No idea why some orders are so delayed.

Reason for 14 over the 10 is the 14 is an amazing bag for travel also, super versatile and kind of keeps out of the way… and it straps down to much smaller for biking. It can do it all. If I was just getting a backpack for after work 1.5 hour mountain bike on the local track then the 10 is perfect. But if you do any longer mountain bike riding 2+ hours, half days or full days this can handle it easily.

I had the old raptor 14 and 10 from 12 years ago and they both are in perfect shape. Liked the old ones so much (wife uses 10 and I the 14 often, even for small hikes) that wanted to get more modern colors and keep the old ones in the back of our cars as backup grab bags.

If you haven't received an email with tracking, just contact their customer email support. Mine is out for delivery today, and I never got any confirmation email. It's some glitch.

Have you used these for running before? Looking for an alternative to the expensive running vests.
As @wiseguy0323 suggested, you'd probably want to go for a smaller one. Even with straps cinched down and only a hydration pack inside, my Osprey 16L pack moves a bit too much when running and is not ventilated quite as well as a vest. Great for biking, day hiking, everything else, though.

My Siskin 12 arrived, unannounced, today. lol
I'm very impressed vs my old/beat up CamelBak Lobo.
I won't miss the screw top of the CamelBak bladder. That was a pain sometimes. But on that note, the Osprey bladder is VERY hard to open the 1st time. You will think you're going to rip it. And even after you read this and try it you will still think you're going to rip it. lol It looks like there are accidental welds holding it together. They aren't. You're just peeling 2 layers of the thin bag apart. You can do it (or get someone with stronger fingers).
The pack is very well built and very well designed and very comfortable. I haven't worked up a sweat in it yet but the ventilation system looks fantastic. Great idea. I would be just as happy with it even if I had paid full price.
Thanks OP !!!

My hikelite arrived (it's so good, crazy price for how good it is), and my raptor 14 came a day afterwards. They don't send ship emails for some of their products it seems. Probably different wearhouses with different policies

Very very happy with the quality of these bags. Ordered a female 14 raven also, these deals are really good. For same price as one hikelite got 3 bags that will last 10 years. Have never seen prices this cheap.

Just heard back from Osprey and they said both will arrive tomorrow! My wife chose the green Raptor over the Raven packs. Will it be a big difference for a woman using a men's raptor pack? TIA!

Mine arrived without any notice/tracking as well.

Very glad I got the Raptor 10 vs the 14. The 10 is about perfect size for my activities (biking, running, hiking, and day pack).

Regarding the question whether this could be used for running, I think it's definitely workable. It's not as lightweight as a vest, and I'd remove the hydration pouch. I think for short runs under 10 miles, it works. For me, for longer runs, I'd still rely on a running vest particularly for the front vest pockets and slimmer profile and lighter weight.

Some other very similar bags are the Black Diamond Pursuit 15 and Matador Beat18.
