The cavernous main compartment has a ton of room for gear and clothing, dual ice tool attachments, reinforced A-frame ski carry, and wand/picket pockets secure your toys and necessities to the exterior and for harder pitches a three-point haul system allows you to bring the pack up once you’ve established the belay.

Like every pack we make, the Mutant 52 is backed by our All Mighty Guarantee. For big climbs and long approaches, the Mutant 52 is the way to go.

About Osprey Tactical Backpacks
The Osprey makes tactical packs and bags. When you are carrying your gear, you need a bag you can trust which will hold up to the environment, be comfy to haul, and have sufficient volume to hold everything. Enter the tactical bag.
Osprey Pack Toughness
Your tactical rucksack has to be strong so it will be able to survive a long period of time. A great rucksack will be built of materials like 1050D ballistic nylon and other Cordura fabrics. These materials can hold up under hard use and have a very high yarn count weave fabric that makes the pack more scuff resistant and durable. In 1050D nylon, the D represents denier which is a system of measurement for fiber thickness. The 1050 is the yarn count for each of the fibers inside the specific assessed location of fabric.
Tactical Backpack Comfortability
Your knapsack needs to be comfy if you are transporting it on your back for a long time over long ranges. Look for a tactical pack with characteristics like a cushioned waist strap to carry the pack’s weight to your hips. Internal frames are better than external frames when it comes to tactical backpack support.
Pack Capacity and Liter Size
The size of the Osprey Mutant 52 Mountaineering Backpack determines how much it can carry. When selecting a backpack, it is good to recognize how much equipment you need to haul. Bag sizes are sized up in liters for the amount of room they can carry things. A compact day backpack around 20 to 30 liters is probably okay if you primarily have a number of things to carry. If you have more things to pack in your tactical knapsack or think of taking a multi-overnight expedition, try a larger backpack with +50 liters of space.
Tactical Backpacks for Airsoft Gear
The Osprey Mutant 52 Mountaineering Backpack can be used for outdoor adventures and airsoft games. Airsoft gear can be unmanageable if you keep your airsoft masks and eye protection, extra airsoft BBs, green gas containers, and other equipment in the pack. An excellent tactical pack like the Condor 3 Day Assault pack is a really good option for an airsoft pack.
