FAQs
What is the capacity of the Osprey Syncro 12?
The Osprey Syncro 12 has a capacity of 12 liters.
Is a hydration reservoir included with the backpack?
No, the hydration reservoir is sold separately. The backpack is designed to be compatible with most standard reservoirs up to 3 liters.
How do I clean the backpack?
Clean the backpack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
What is the warranty for Osprey backpacks?
Osprey offers a limited lifetime warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Osprey website for full warranty details.
Can I attach extra gear to the outside of the pack?
The Syncro 12 has limited external attachment points, primarily designed for essentials like trekking poles or a bike helmet. It is not intended for carrying large external loads.
What makes the AirSpeed® Backpanel beneficial?
The AirSpeed® Backpanel features a tensioned mesh backpanel that creates a gap between your back and the pack, allowing for superior airflow and ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Backpanel feels stiff or rigid
Ensure the hydration reservoir is not overfilled or improperly seated, as this can affect the backpanel's natural flex.
Straps are uncomfortable or digging in
Adjust the sternum strap height and tension, and ensure the load lifter straps (if present on your model) are properly tensioned. Re-distribute weight within the pack.
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed.
Raincover does not fit properly
Ensure the raincover is correctly oriented and fully extended. Check that no external items are preventing a snug fit.

Setup:

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure zippers are closed and straps are not tangled.
