Osprey is an American brand specializing in the production of outdoor backpacks designed for various activities such as trekking, climbing, traveling, or cycling. The offer also includes bags and various types of travel accessories.
Origin and beginnings of the brand
The Osprey brand was founded in 1974 by Mike Pfotenhauer in Santa Cruz, California. Initially, it operated under the name Santa Cruz Recreational Packs, where Mike handcrafted backpacks on order for local travelers and outdoor enthusiasts. The inspiration to start his own business was the desire to improve the comfort and fit of backpacks available on the market.
Development and expansion
With increasing interest in the products, the company moved to Dolores in Colorado, and then to Cortez, where its headquarters are located. For many years, production was carried out locally, with the participation of artisans from the Navajo community, which influenced the unique character and quality of the products. As Osprey developed, it expanded its operations to international markets, opening, among others, a European headquarters in Poole, England.
