Share the adventure. We want to inspire young people to enjoy the outdoors and the Osprey Youth Series is our way of doing this. We know by giving children the same level of pack fit and function as their grown-up counterparts that nothing will stop their adventures. Whether you're out camping or backpacking for the weekend, the Ace 38 provides your child with a light-weight fully functional backpack that rivals any adult sized Osprey pack. We understand that children grow more than quickly, that's why we've equipped the Ace with an ultra-adjustable torso and Fit-on-the-Fly™ hipbelt. The Ace 38 pack will grow with your child, providing them with years of comfort so you don't need to constantly replace their pack.
Keeping children cool when they're outdoors is key, that's why the Ace 38 has an AirScape™ backpanel with foam ridges for ventilation. It also has a LightWire™ frame and internal compression to ensure the fit is fine tuned to your child no matter how the Ace is packed. The integrated raincover means that even out in the rain their pack and contents are easily protected. The Ace 38 is suitable for ages 8-12 years.
Great bag, unbeatable price, thanks Varuste! Can't wait to try it out on our long family hikes.

Very functional backpack. I use it for cycling, shopping trips and day trips. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with its own rain cover, unlike many other Osprey backpacks.

Otherwise functional and has enough adjustment options for a slim 7-year-old, but the "hat" part of the backpack is sewn on at the back instead of straps, making it difficult to pack it full.

A quality small backpack for a junior. The dimensions of the main bag could be better in a slightly deeper and shorter bag. Currently limits packing options when hiking. A quality backpack for school-age children.

Just the right size for an 8 year old. Enough features for a child to use and good adjustment options.

They have withstood very hard use.

An excellent bike for children. My own children are 10 and 12 years old. They carry their own sleeping bags and stuff themselves. Many other models have clips that are difficult for a child's hands and cannot be pressed with fingers. Osprey has lightweights.

Perfect bag for shorter children to grow with. Haven't measured back length but fits well on my daughter who is 127cm (on the smallest setting). Unfortunately, the bag is somewhat heavier than you would like.

Rinkka is just right for a 9-year-old child. Versatile compartments enable packing well. Thanks to its adjustability, this bike grows with the child.

A good bag for a child. The lack of side pockets in children's chests today is generally surprising.
