Osprey warranty for backpacks & bags
The short version
Osprey covers backpacks & bags in full for 7 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 32 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Osprey's published warranty, checked October 2026.
