What is the difference between a male and female Osprey backpack?

What is the difference between a male and female Osprey backpack? All packs come standard with women's-specific harness and hipbelt.

Why are Osprey backpacks so popular?

Is Osprey the best backpack?

Which Osprey to choose?

If you're looking for smaller packs (2-3 nights tops), I'd recommend Stratos 50 (women's counterpart is Sirrus 50), but Kestrel 48 (women's counterpart is Kyte 46) is a great alternative. Best osprey backpack for day hiking and/or single night camping is Talon 33 (women's counterpart is Tempest 30).
