Osprey
Osprey is the gold standard for premium hiking backpacks, travel packs, and hydration gear. Because hiking gear is heavily marked up in Israel, importing an Osprey backpack from Amazon US or Europe can save you 30% to 50%.
What to Buy
Buy Atmos AG/Aura AG hiking packs, Talon/Tempest daypacks, and Farpoint/Fairview travel backpacks. Make sure to choose the correct torso size (S/M or M/L) before ordering.
Where to Buy
Shop on Amazon US or Amazon DE. Check both storefronts as European versions are sometimes cheaper due to shorter shipping distances and local European VAT deduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Osprey's Lifetime Guarantee honored in Israel?
Osprey's 'All Mighty Guarantee' is global. If your backpack gets damaged, the official Israeli importer (Travelpaq) or Osprey's international support will coordinate repairs, though you may need to cover local shipping costs.
How do I choose the right torso size for an Osprey backpack?
Measure your torso length from the C7 vertebra to the iliac crest. Use Osprey's official sizing chart on Amazon to map this measurement to S/M or M/L sizes to ensure a comfortable fit.
Do Osprey backpacks cross the Israeli VAT limit?
Many premium Osprey hiking packs cost more than $75, meaning Amazon will automatically add the 18% local VAT at checkout. However, smaller daypacks are usually under $75 and remain tax-free.
