While I used it on a winter day hike with only 25 lbs in it I feel it will comfortably carry about 35-40 lbs. The new Rook series packs 50 and 65 liter are well worth the price they retail for. If you are a well seasoned hiker or a beginner you can't go wrong with the Osprey Rook.

The Rook is $190, and you can periodically find deals cheaper than that. \nThe Exos Pro weighs 38.0 ounces. The Rook weighs 55.5 ounces, so you are saving over a pound of weight. \n\nThe Exos Pro has a weight limit of 30 pounds. The Rook has a weight limit of 40 pounds. I don't know if that includes the backpack itself or not. I also don't know if that limit is for comfort, or that the backpack might tear up at that weight. Regardless, 30 pounds is doable, even with winter gear. 40 pounds is a lot, so I wouldn't want to carry 40 pounds, regardless. \n\nBoth the Exos Pro and the Rook are comfortable to carry. Very similar setup, with both having a vented back. \n\nThe Exos Pro's capacity varies based on the size you get. It's advertised at 55 liters, but the M/L actually holds 58 liters. The Rook 65L holds 65 liters, but I can't really tell any significant size difference. I can barely get all my stuff in both backpacks, which includes the very large Backpacker's Cache bear canister, which can go in horizontally. \n\nThe Exos Pro doesn't have any external straps to hold a tent, just these loops that are for, I dunno, ice axes? The Rook does have straps that can hold a four-person tent. This is really the only negative I can find with the Exos Pro, besides the price. \n\nThe Exos Pro has a back pocket, which is where I stash my tent. Only a two-person tent will fit there. The Rook doesn't have a back pocket, which is irritating, just loops. \n\nThe Exos Pro has two ways to seal the backpack up, using the brain of the backpack, or you can remove the brain and just use a non-removable flap. If you use the brain, the flap is just in the way. This is so people can remove the brain if they want to save three ounces. I would just design future versions without the flap. The brain isn't removable with the Rook, so it doesn't have the extra flap.\n\nThe Exos Pro only comes in one color, so it can be more easily confused with another backpack of the same model. The Rook used to come in green, purple, and black, and now it's offered in tan, blue, and gray. \n\nThe Exos Pro shares a name with Osprey's Exos backpack, so it could be confusing. There is only one Rook. \n\nSo bottom line, with the Exos Pro, you are saving a pound of weight and gaining a back pocket and losing tent straps at the extra cost of $100. That's a good trade if you are counting ounces. Otherwise, get the Rook.","textLength":2527,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":9,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Mark M.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-02-11T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Osprey","siteUrl":"https://www.osprey.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1435_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"877257-10001761","title":"Osprey Rook 65 Backpacking Backpack","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/877257-10001761","category":"accessories-backpacks","reviewCount":13,"ratingCount":13,"averageRating":4.7,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":2,"5":10},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":3590328,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great back for Pb&J's","text":"I usually pack around 50-75 lbs worth of peanut butter and jelly sandwich's to deliver to the hermits that live in the woods.
