REI knows a thing or two about the great outdoors, and it also knows how to make its customers happy—with big discounts. The retailer just went live with hundreds of handpicked deals in its Outlet section, and if you’re in the market for a new pack, whether it’s for hiking or a trip that starts at the airport, this is the place to check. Tons of Osprey bags are on sale now through April 13, including this hydration pack, now 55% off.
The Osprey Raptor Pro 18 Hydration Pack is on sale for $126—that’s $154 off the original $280 price tag. This item comes in one size only and is a part of the special outlet sale, so you won’t find it anywhere else.

If you’re a mountain biker, this bag was built for you. It comes with a built-in helmet attachment, a reflective patch for safety in the woods, and a stretch-mesh zippered hipbelt that’ll keep your pack on your back no matter how bumpy the ride gets. If you’re not a biker, this bag will still work for you, as hikers will enjoy the direct access to a hydration sleeve and the 2.5-liter water reservoir that is sure to keep you hydrated while you’re on the go.
I’ve done my fair share of hiking in the White Mountains, so I can attest to the rugged reliability of Osprey packs and, most importantly, the need for good water access day in and day out. This bag provides all of that and has four exterior pockets and a main compartment to boot, making it easy to store your H20 as well as some extra gear.
As for the price, this Osprey pack was just $154 about 48 hours ago. The price will likely pop back up after the end of this Outlet sale on April 13, so if you're planning any excursions this spring and summer, it might be worth getting this before that deadline.

What Shoppers Are Saying
There aren’t many reviews on this hydration bag at REI, but one satisfied shopper wasn’t surprised by the pack’s utility. “Solid like all Osprey packs,” they said. “I like the extra padding—having a backpack on with a bladder, and the extra padding protects my spine in the event of a fall (on my back).”
The Osprey Raptor Pro 18 Hydration Pack is under $130 right now, which seems to be one of the best prices around for a premium pack. Enjoy those special savings before this exclusive REI sale ends.
