The Osprey Siskin 8 is a compact cycling backpack built to carry your essentials on short rides or daily commutes. With an 8-liter capacity, it’s sized for tools, a light jacket, snacks and the bits you need close at hand.
Weighing in at just 0.53 kg, the Siskin 8 sits firmly in the ultralight category, helping to reduce fatigue on longer pedals. Its slender profile (47 × 22 × 18 cm) hugs your back to minimise bounce and drag, while the adjustable harness lets you dial in a snug, stable fit as you navigate city streets or country lanes.
The harness adjusts to match torso lengths from 43 to 56 cm, aligning the shoulder straps and hip belt with your frame. A correctly fitted pack shifts weight onto your hips and keeps the load balanced, which can make a noticeable difference in comfort over time.
