Children who receive their own rucksack usually carry it with pride – and that is precisely why it matters that it fits properly, is not too heavy and will last through years of adventure. Osprey Jet 18 was designed with exactly this in mind.

Children's rucksack that grows with your child

With a capacity of 18 litres, the Jet 18 is designed for children from around 8 years old. An adjustable back system allows you to change the back length so the rucksack fits your growing child properly every year – not just when it was bought. This extends the real lifespan of the rucksack by several seasons, which with a quality piece is certainly worth noting.

Padded shoulder straps and back panel are shaped with children's bodies in mind, not just scaled-down adult versions. The result is a rucksack that your child genuinely feels as comfortable, not just tolerable. Eighteen litres is enough for a packed lunch, a bottle, a waterproof jacket, a spare layer of clothing and binoculars – that is, everything a full-day outing requires.

Practical details for outings and school trips

The rucksack is compatible with a hydration bladder, side mesh pockets will hold bottles without difficulty and the front pocket serves for small items your child wants to keep to hand. A chest strap with a safety whistle and reflective elements are small but practical details on group outings. An attachment loop for a cycling helmet is useful on combined outings where walking alternates with cycling.
