The Osprey Salida 8 is a compact cycling backpack designed to carry your essentials on shorter rides. With an eight-litre capacity, it’s meant to hold items like tools, a light layer and snacks without getting in your way as you pedal.
Measuring 43 × 22 × 18.5 cm, the Salida 8 maintains a low profile that stays close to your back, helping to minimise bounce and distraction. The harness adjusts to fit torso lengths between 35.5 and 46 cm, so you can fine-tune how it sits on your shoulders and hips. At just 0.49 kg, it stays out of your way while still offering room for the essentials you don’t want to leave behind.
Weighing in under 1.4 kg, this pack falls into the ultralight category, which means you’ll barely notice the extra load when you’re riding. The adjustable back-length system lets you slide the harness up or down to match your torso, ensuring a snug, stable fit over varied terrain.
