Making of Osprey backpacks

It all started about 40 years back when Mike as a young lad along with his brothers in his hometown Oregon wore a backpack with absolutely a very awful fit. This made him learn sewing with his mother’s guidance and he created a beautiful backpack of his own when he was just 16 years old. As he grew up, he opened his own shop in California where he drew large backpack lovers and travelers to get their own custom fitted backpacks by him. He individually designed and sewed them for them. The original name of Osprey Packs was Santa Cruz Recreational Packs. As the business grew up and flourished, Mike added about 7 to 8 employees to help him with the custom-made backpacks. Then he along with his wife and business partner Diane Wren moved to Colorado and opened up their business in 8000 square foot building. As the business was expanding, Mike recruited more women to sew the Osprey Packs. With increasing demand and more and more delays, Mike began his work with a tie-up with the Korean manufacturers. Despite the distance, there was no dip in the quality of the packs. To simplify it further, Mike moved to Vietnam and closely watched every sewing operation. The best quality control and quality assurance are in place even to this day in the manufacturing unit which is the vision of Mike.
