Cortez, Colorado – January 2023 Osprey, a Helen of Troy brand, introduces its Fall ’23 collection, continuing Osprey’s relentless quest to update and perfect high-performing products across categories that inspire all manner of adventures. While you can expect exciting new product launches across all categories, we’re excited to announce that travel is back. While the world is collectively on vacation, Osprey is committed to supporting this resurgence in leisure travel by providing significant updates to key travel assortments.
For travel, we have completely redesigned our Sojourn, Shuttle and Porter ranges to create the new and expanded Sojourn range, a unified collection with protective StraightJacket compression, Travel Sentry ID tags and internal organization. This collection includes wheeled holdalls, holdalls and wheeled travel backpacks designed for the traveler whose destination knows no bounds.
The brand new modern urban Aoede series arrives in lifestyle with four sophisticated city touring silhouettes offering an everyday solution with street style functionality.
This season also brings improvements and updates to our Soelden/Sopris ski touring pack range, like enlarged ski straps, and brand new colors to our Glade winter sports range. The entire snow category now has core component fabrics that are bluesign® approved, made from 100% recycled content and using DWR without PFAS.
We’ve complemented our waterproof family to offer expanded storage options with our new IPX5 Wildwater Dry Bags, designed to be tough enough for use without a backpack.
Also this season we look back to see how far we’ve come. In spring 2018 we defined our three pillars of sustainability: Materials, Chemistry and Social Responsibility. These have guided us as we set out to become a more conscientious and progressive outdoor consumer goods brand. Since then we’ve seen success on many of the goals we set ourselves, but we don’t intend to rest. From installing solar panels on our roofs at our main offices in Vietnam and Europe, to using DWR treatments made without PFAS on all main body materials. Also, all poly bags are made from 100% recycled material and all paper packaging is FSC certified or recycled and recyclable. In 2021 we became a bluesign® system partner and have thus made a significant change towards textile sustainability in our entire supply chain. As a founding member of the OIA-sponsored Climate Action Corps, we partner with companies across the outdoor industry to address the challenge of climate change and measure, plan, reduce and share our progress.
