Osprey

The Osprey brand was founded in 1974 in Santa Cruz, California. It was founded by a then young entrepreneur, Mike Pfotenhauer. Mike enjoyed hiking in his home state of Oregon in his youth. He and his brothers and father needed quality equipment for their outings. His interest in backpacks continued to grow with age and he even learned to sew them with the help of his mother. At sixteen, he creates his first backpack. Mike first opened a shop in the front of his rented house. In 1987, Osprey began selling backpacks wholesale, and the sewing was split between seven or eight employees while Mike focused on design himself.

Since 1974, the Osprey brand has been building its place in the limelight and offers recreational and active athletes sophisticated and fine-tuned backpacks in every detail. Men, women and children alike choose OSPREY backpacks for their activities. It is not for nothing that OSPREY gains success with customers and also awards in prestigious outdoor magazines.

Whether you desire a backpack to make your trip to work or a weekend stay more pleasant, or you need a spacious, durable and comfortable backpack for all types of outdoor activities, the Osprey brand will always satisfy you with its wide range and meet all expectations.
