Warranty

One of the best things about Osprey is the Lifetime warranty. It doesn’t matter when you bought your bag or what the condition of the bag is, just contact Oprey and they will direct you on mailing in your bag. “Just pay for shipping” “ warranty does not cover “wear and tare, airline damage, or water damage” 

Comfort: 

Airspeed Suspension : 

A tensioned mesh backpanel keeps the weight off your back, enabling highly ventilated carrying comfort.

Weather Proof:

Is the Osprey Manta 24L Waterproof?

 NO. 

But it’s coated with a high quality Durable Water Repellent Finish DWR. 

Constructed with durable and high-quality materials, this backpack ensures long-lasting performance even in tough environments. Its robust construction proved highly resistant to water, ensuring your gear stays dry even in wet conditions, and if the weather conditions escalate be confident that the included rain cover will protect you Gear. Just please no swimming with your backpack. 

Flaws:

Although this backpack might be perfect for most there’s come caveats that are worth looking into.

Weakness 1: The hip belt Pockets 

The little zipper pouches on the waist strap can become a pain when hiking as it can sometimes tak both hands to operate the zipper and can ultimately make them pointless as they are supposed to make it easy to access your gear more efficiently. 

Weakness 2: The Bag can give you the feel of “over engineering” its built just right but the frame is long and makes it nearly impossible for the bag to sit on it’s own without tipping over. This can make it quite difficult to access your gear in the outdoors without having a tree or rock to lean your back up against.

Overall

Overall, the Manta 24L Backpack is an outstanding choice for adventurers seeking a reliable, versatile, and well-designed backpack.
