That also means fall foliage is coming, so you might want to hit the woods soon. Whichever applies to you, take advantage of this awesome sale on Osprey backpacks and camping bags that REI is currently running. The deals include everything from a durable everyday bag to super-rugged packs with tons of space inside for extended off-grid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/category\/outdoor-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\">outdoor adventures<\/a>. We\u2019ve singled out a few of our favorites here, but check the lists for more options.<\/p>\n<section class=\"acf-product-card-block recurrent-blocks pw-incontent-excluded  \">\n<h3 class=\"product-title wp-block-heading\">Osprey Metron 22 Roll-Top Pack \u2014 $100.73 (was $170)<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"product-button-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rei.pxf.io\/c\/2536217\/1448521\/17195?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F248807%2Fosprey-metron-22-roll-top-pack&amp;subId1=PS&amp;partnerpropertyid=2303198&amp;MediaPartnerPropertyId=2303198\" rel=\"noopener sponsored noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tSee It\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Rolltop backpacks provide easy access to your gear while drastically increasing overall resistance to rain and other precipitation. This roomy bag has a spacious main pocket, as well as a smaller front pocket, and two side-panel stretch pockets for things you want to keep handy and secure. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">It comes in black and a subtle tan color that they call Concrete, which is a cool name for a backpack color. The outer shell is made of extremely rugged nylon, so you can even wear this while riding a bike, and it\u2019ll survive without issue during a wreck. This is the kind of backpack that will endure the rigors of hardcore hiking or the hallways of a local high school.<\/p>\n<section class=\"acf-product-card-block recurrent-blocks pw-incontent-excluded  \">\n<h3 class=\"product-title wp-block-heading\">Osprey Transporter Duffel Bag \u2014 40 L $103 (was $160)<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"product-button-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rei.pxf.io\/c\/2536217\/1448521\/17195?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F250219%2Fosprey-transporter-duffel-bag-40-l&amp;subId1=PS&amp;partnerpropertyid=2303198&amp;MediaPartnerPropertyId=2303198\" rel=\"noopener sponsored noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tSee It\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Duffels are great for carrying lots of gear, but they\u2019re not as comfortable as a backpack. Osprey has created a hybrid bag that fits 40 liters of gear like a typical duffel, but can be worn like a backpack in addition to its normal handles. The spacious rear compartment zips all the way open from the back. That means you can set the bag down on its front to get inside, and it won\u2019t get mud on your shirt once you put it back on. That\u2019s a nice touch.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content-widget content-widget--large pw-incontent-excluded\"><span class=\"block bg-secondary-300 h-2 w-16 mt-10 mb-8\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col md:flex-row items-start justify-items-start\">\n<div class=\"mb-4 md:mb-0 md:w-4\/12 w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ps-ggs.jpg?quality=85&amp;w=300\" class=\"max-w-[100%]\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ps-ggs.jpg?w=50&amp;h=28 50w, https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ps-ggs.jpg?w=280&amp;h=158 280w, https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ps-ggs.jpg?w=289&amp;h=163 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"ml-0 md:ml-10 md:w-8\/12 w-full\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p>More deals, reviews, and buying guides<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-widget-content mb-4\">\n<div id=\"1737663310.940689\" class=\"c-virtual_list__item\" role=\"listitem\" data-qa=\"virtual-list-item\" data-item-key=\"1737663310.940689\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__background c-message_kit__background--hovered p-message_pane_message__message c-message_kit__message\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_container\" data-qa-unprocessed=\"false\" data-qa-placeholder=\"false\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__hover c-message_kit__hover--hovered\" role=\"document\" data-qa-hover=\"true\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__actions c-message_kit__actions--above\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter__right\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_content\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\">\n<div class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\" data-qa=\"message-text\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\" data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\">\n<p>The PopSci team has tested hundreds of products and spent thousands of hours trying to find the best gear and gadgets you can buy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<span class=\"block bg-secondary-300 h-2 w-16 mt-8 mb-10\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"article-content-footer lg:max-w-[730px] lg:mx-auto\">\n<div class=\"pw-incontent-excluded\">\n<section id=\"author-widgets\" class=\"recurrent-author-widgets pw-incontent-excluded\">\n<section class=\"recurrent-author-widget recurrent-primary-author-widget pw-incontent-excluded\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p>Stan Horaczek is the executive gear editor at Popular Science.
