The Osprey Ace 48 Pack is a hiking backpack specifically designed for youth. This pack is not just a smaller version of an adult's pack: it is specifically proportioned for the backs of youth 12 to 16 years old. Custom fit options are aplenty thanks to the adjustable torso length system. Load lifter straps and a hipbelt featuring an ErgoPull closure ensure ultimate comfort. Also features sewn-in retractable sleeping bag straps, bungee tool tie-offs, and a large vertical zip front panel pocket. This pack is also hydration compatible and an integrated raincover keeps gear dry. There's a reason this awesome pack was chosen for the Editor's Choice Award in 2009 from Backpacking Magazine. And I think it is safe to assume the people at Backpacking Magainze could be considered experts when it comes to judging packs.
