Light And Seamless Experience
This backpack made my trip in Olympus all the more enjoyable. It’s a simple and beautiful bag with everything you need, with small details that add up to make the use very pleasant and instinctive. For example reaching your bottle from the front and not having to take your pack off and the customisable loops and compression. I wish the front pockets were bigger and easier to reach, but I simply added a light belt bag to the hip strap and didn’t think of it again.

Took It On A Pct
Took it on a PCT Thru hike and It. Held. Up. So comfy! Carried everything I needed and after thousands of miles and numerous bush-whacks, it had only a few minor holes. Would recommend!

Great Backpack And Top Quality
The Osprey Eja backpack is a great product. We bought this backpack for our 12 year old daughter. As it can be adjusted easily, it fits her well. It is light and has a lot of useful features. The quality is top as you would expect from Osprey. I can recommend this backpack.

Love The Pack - Not The Color
I love this pack. . . . more or less. It's truly the first pack that is comfortable and doesn't leave me sore after a 15 mile day. I've taken this thing on multiple multi day trips and can comfortably carry about 25 lbs and hold all of my gear. A couple of drawbacks however. The side compression straps are a joke. They are so skinny and hard to cinch down. They also make it impossible to get your water bottle in and out. Second, the colors are horrendous. I don't know what's up with the crusty purple color they are going with these days but it's awful. I ended up with the green, but it's like every other green pack out there. I wish Osprey would come up with some fun "girl" colors in the blue or red category.

Perfect
I chose the Eja based on reviews and have used it once for a 3 day hike covering about 45 miles. I was very happy with my choice. It was easy to adjust to the perfect fit, didn't need readjustment and was comfortable and easy to wear. It has great features and I am looking forward to many happy years of hiking with it. The fabric is lightweight and suffered minor damage on the side pocket from rocks that may not have happened with a heavier fabric but I wanted something light and there has to be a trade off. The size is perfect as I had kit for a 5 day trip in the cold with plenty of space to add camping gear if needed.

Great Size - Very Light!
I bought this for my trip to NZ in January until April. I’ve just started packing and practiced carrying it. It’s perfect for what I need it for- and it’ll be great for trekking since it’s very light.

Perfect Pack!
I purchased this after having a bad experience with a different pack of a different brand. I am 5’5” and weigh about 116 pounds. I am a bit short waisted too and I thought the pack fit my frame perfectly. No weird rubbing on my lower back after a 31 mile backpacking trip. Lots of space and convenient pockets. Super functional and can’t recommend enough!

Terrible Design, Painful And Unusable
My experience mirrors that of the other reviewer. Your scapula will be a-hurting if you choose this pack, so don't choose this pack. It is weirdly badly designed, not like Osprey to make a sucky pack. Absolutely no way to improve the comfort of this pack in the field, because the hard plastic design is what it is--hard and placed exactly where you don't need hard edgy plastic pieces digging into your scapula. Mine were rubbed red and sore. This design flaw makes the pack unusable, but otherwise, it is very nice. I don't even want to donate it to anyone because will just hurt them, too, and why would I pass along something defective to anyone.

Major Flaws With Redesign
I used the exos on thruhike and was eager to try the eja for a womens specific fit. The shoulder straps and belt fit where a big improvement for me, but there are two flaws that keep me from using this pack. The biggest flaw is the plastic pieces sitting on your scapula. I had abrasions my first time using the pack. The second flaw is the compression straps on the outside of the water bottle compartments. You cannot compress your pack AND get out your bottle while hiking. I'll keep this to loan out since it is adjustable, but already bought another pack for personal use.

Fits Smaller Torsos
I love osprey products and unfortunately found that most of their products do not fit XS torsos. However. The EJA is the exception. It fits through the shoulders and leaves plenty of room for tightening the hip belt. It’s like wearing a hug. I did 3 10+mile days with this pack (48l) and it was just the right size for my and my dog’s needs. The ONLY complaint I have is that the shoulder padding could use reinforcements. I found the material shredding my shirt and leaving friction burns on my collarbones after day 2. I ended up shoving my extra sun shirt under the straps to widen the coverage on my shoulders. I could probably wear thicker shirts for winter trips, but summertime screams for tank tops and breathable materials that just didn’t do enough for comfort on that long of a trip. I will be using this pack again, but definitely looking into mods for the shoulder strap padding

Nice Pack
I like this pack a lot- out of the packaging I feel like it was really stiff and side pockets were almost unusable but after a week of using could easily get water bottles in and out without taking pack off. Hip belt pockets are a nice size but definitely a design flaw with the zipper and they are a pain to open and close. Overall super comfy pack and durable.

Really Nice Pack. I'll Compare To The Old Model.
I have used the Eja 48 model before this one. There are things I like more about this new model and things I like less. Here is my comparison: Pros for new model: Not as wide as the old one. Side pockets, however they are really hard to zip after you open them while wearing the pack. Shoulder adjustments are really nice. The hip belt is positioned absolutely perfect, likely due to the adjustable shoulder straps. This pack feels more sturdy and well built. Cons for new model: The shoulder straps are not nearly as padded and comfortable. The side pockets are not as large on the new model. I feel like I can't fit as much into this pack. I do like this new model very much but all in all I think that the old model is a bit more comfortable for me. I will keep and continue to use this one and hopefully I will become more used to the differences and come to love this one as much as the old one. This new pack fits well and feels balanced. None of the cons I mentioned are a deal breaker for me. A lot of thought has gone into this design and I appreciate it!

Excellent Ultralight Pack!
This pack meets almost all my expectations and hopes! I love the suspension system the most. My pack feels like a hug! I appreciate the choice of removing the “brain” to save weight. The hip belt is comfortable. My only issue is with the shoulder straps. Over many hours on the trail, I notice that the straps do not sit completely comfortably around the front of my shoulders. That said, this is still my favorite pack out there!

Wanted To Love This
I purchased a small Eja 48 from my local gear store. i loved the forest green color and wanted to buy this pack because i have an osprey levity (im female) and i thought i wanted a pack that would carry a little more weight, bit still be comfortable and lightweight. It also has many more features than the minimalist levity. I have to say, two things made me return this pack. The biggest issue is how you adjust the frame/suspeniom. this is the first version of the Eja to have two hard plastic pieces in the air suspension to help make the pack more adjustable. Great idea, however the plastic dug into my back and was uncomfortable. I dont feel plastic in my back woth my Levity. Osprey, please change this feature or use soft material. Also, the hip pockets...i have read so many reviews where people wanted hip pockets! And for Osprey to bring them back, however there are two issues with these pockets. 1. They are a weirs shape and I cannot fit my Samsung Galaxy S20+ in it and they are bulky... the pockets stuck out and rubbed against my arms even with out filling them. I took my Eja back, I might continue looking for an older small pack, most places are sold out. But, I also love love love my Levity. I often carry 21-232bs in it and it seems to holdcthe extra lb or 2 just fine.
