Osprey Duro 6

I have not yet consciously noticed sprey running backpacks/vests in trail or running competitions. So it was new to me that Osprey was serving the running market with its Duro series. In addition to the Duro 6, Osprey also offers a vest with a main compartment of 1.5 liters (Duro 1.5) and a backpack for longer runs with 15 liters (Duro 15), here I would like to talk about a backpack again. This might also be something for “sneaker commuters”1. Overall, the Duro 6 pleasantly surprised me. In terms of comfort, the “compact” vest can definitely keep up with the minimalist lightweights from Salomon or Nathan, to name just two brands. The vest impressed me both when fully packed and when empty. As a bit of a “sucker”, I always fear losses with the “open” compartments of other running vests. However, these “fears” are completely eliminated with the Duro 6 thanks to the many zippered compartments. I'm happy to accept the disadvantage that it's a little more difficult to store or remove. I was very positively impressed by the waterproof valuables compartment and the water-protected main compartment. In addition to the many plus points, I still have to give two minus points. The included signal whistle is a bit quiet and I searched in vain for a rescue blanket, which is mandatory equipment for some trail runs. Every backpack and every vest has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, I don't want to claim that Osprey's Duro 6 is better or worse than my Nathan Vapor Karar or Salomon S/Lab Sense Ultra 5 Set. The range of uses has simply expanded. At EUR 120.00 (RRP), the Duro 6 is in the usual price range and, in my opinion, is not overpriced due to the quality and stated longevity, especially since two 500 ml soft flasks are also included in the scope of delivery. I still have a really big request for the backpack manufacturers. Please pack a rescue blanket with every backpack, regardless of whether it is designed for hiking, cycling, running or everyday use. It doesn't cost much and can save lives in an emergency. Read the expert report by Thomas Ritter - https://shop4runners.com/blog/post/osprey-duro-7
