It offers a high level of comfort under moderate loads and is still above average in comfort when overloaded. Coupled with a traditional top lid drawcord for access and a lower compartment with a removable sleeping bag divider, the Kyte provides an array of categorisation options. I strongly recommend checking with your airlines, especially for those ultra-strict European budget airlines. I have tried on many different brands, but no other backpack has fit me as well as Osprey packs, especially when carrying at least 30 pounds of gear.

Dual water bottle pockets are nice and deep but too narrow for a Nalgene bottle, and we even found it tight for getting a Smartwater bottle in and out. With a sliding torso adjustment and multiple options for the exterior compression straps but not hip belt adjustment, we ranked the Kyte average for adjustability. This is my Osprey Kyte 46 review for 2022, where I’ll cover everything you need to know about this do-it-all backpack that Osprey has nicknamed, “the chameleon.This guide is designed to help you get the best fit and comfort from your chosen pack so that carrying all your kit becomes a pleasure and not a chore.

Sometimes adjustments will need to be made on the go depending on the terrain or the load you are carrying. It is also a great pack if you want to take your bag as carry-on luggage, so it’s great for backpackers and travelers alike. As the Kyte 36 and the Sirrus 36 both have the same gear capacity, the choice between them is be simple.

Fasten the chest strap and pull until taut but not tight, the elastic section should not be extended. Your torso length can be found by measuring from your C7 vertebra (the bony protrusion at the back of your neck when looking down) to the height of your iliac crest (top of your hip bones, where you put your hands on your hips).If you will be spending your time off-trail bushwacking and squeezing through slot canyons, the Kyte brings the fabrics you'll need to avoid shredding your pack. Either way, I think multiple access points that allow you to reach the bottom of the pack are absolutely essential.

The newly redesigned Osprey Kyte 36 Backpack is built for the year round adventurer who doesn’t let the terrain get in the way.

Ridged foam under a lightweight mesh provide air channels for ventilation and comfort when it gets hot, whilst a lightweight metal frame effectively transfers weight to the contoured and padded hip belt helping to reduce the stress on your shoulders. Before you start fitting the pack, loosen off all the straps as this will make it easier to get the correct tension later. I would much rather use this backpack than my regular daypack, which eventually puts a lot of strain on my shoulders, even on days when I’m walking through airports! Because it is a hiking backpack, it isn’t going to open wide like a suitcase, but the multiple access points still allow you to reach your items without taking the entire bag apart.

The Osprey Kyte 46 is changing that a bit, as this backpack is pretty perfect for a variety of activities – hence the nickname “chameleon. This is a testament to Osprey’s high-quality products as they believe that their backpacks should last for a lifetime. The compression straps at the base of the pack are particularly good for stabilizing and locking the load as they attach directly to the hip belt. One can easily secure a tent or a sleeping pad on the outside of the sleeping bag compartment using the compression straps too, which will give you more space inside the pack. The Kyte 36 is fully hydration compatible with a clever external sleeve making replenishing your bladder quick and easy.The Kyte 36 liter is better if you want a daypack, but the 46 liter is much more versatile and customizable.
