Since Osprey used to be founded in 1974, each and every single product design has passed during the hands of owner and founder Mike Pfotenhauer, who created his first backpack at age 16. In Santa Cruz, California, the young entrepreneur opened a retail shop within the front of his rental house where backpackers and travelers came for custom-fit, made-to-order packs constructed over a couple of days by Mike himself. As the demand for the good-fitting packs increased, Osprey found itself relocating to its current home in Southwest Colorado. Lately, Osprey is a melting pot of diverse personalities, backgrounds and abilities. All share the common belief that adventure is open to everyone and found anywhere.
