Osprey Zealot Rock Climbing Packs and Accessories

Osprey is introducing packs and accessories for gym and crag climbers that offer durability and comfort while keeping everything organized on the go. The new Zealot series, available Fall 2022, includes Zealot 45, a feature built for entire days at the crag, and Zealot 30, Osprey’s first rock climbing gym pack equipped with intentional features for that user. Accessories include the Zealot Chalk Bucket and Zealot Chalk bag. The Zealot packs feature an EVA-molded backpanel with an HDPE framesheet that comfortably carries heavy, bulky gear while maintaining stability. Detailed organizational features include a rope tarp with end tie-off loops that doubles as a crag-deck (Zealot 45), dual compartments to keep chalk and sweaty climbing shoes separate from other daily essentials (Zealot 30), a top-load closure with easy access to the main compartment and strategically placed zip pockets to stow additional gear and accessories safely. In keeping with Osprey’s commitment to sustainability, the Zealot series is built with durable, bluesign approved ballistic nylon and high tenacity nylon ripstop. “With two volume choices and accessories to support all needs, the Zealot series is designed for climbers who appreciate well thought out access to the gear they need at the gym, on the road, or at the crag,” said Rosie Mansfield, product line manager, Osprey.”
