Is the Sopris 20 big enough for a full day of backcountry skiing?

It works for short tours and lift-served days with a beacon, shovel, probe, water and a layer. For long tours with a rope or overnight gear, a larger pack in the 30-liter class is a better fit.

How does it differ from Osprey's unisex Kamber packs?

The Sopris uses a women's-specific harness and hipbelt shaped for narrower shoulders and shorter torsos. The carry features, ski and board carry and avalanche pocket are otherwise similar.

Can it carry a snowboard as well as skis?

Yes. It has a vertical snowboard carry and can carry skis either diagonally or in an A-frame.

Does it have a pocket for avalanche gear?

Yes, there is a separate front pocket with sleeves for a shovel handle, probe and beacon, so you do not have to dig through the main compartment.

Is it compatible with a helmet and hydration bladder?

The lid is helmet-compatible, and there is an insulated hydration sleeve with a hose routing for a bladder.

What is the Sopris 20 best suited to?

Short backcountry tours, sidecountry laps and resort days where you carry safety gear but not much else.

About the Osprey Sopris 20 Backpack

The Osprey Sopris 20 is a women's-specific snow pack built for short backcountry tours and lift-served days. It carries skis or a snowboard with a dedicated diagonal or A-frame ski carry and a vertical board carry, and it has a separate avalanche-tool pocket plus a helmet-compatible lid. The women's harness and hipbelt are shaped for narrower shoulders and shorter torsos, which is the main difference from Osprey's unisex Kamber line. Reviewers like the light, close-fitting carry and the quick-access gear pocket; some find 20 liters tight for full-day tours with a rope and extra layers.
