Why We Like The Aether 65L Backpack
The all-new Aether Backpacks boast Osprey's best-fitting systems so anyone can trek technical terrain comfortably, and the Aether 65 Backpack is the biggest in the bunch. Sized for weeklong trips and weekenders, the Aether 65 is a solid choice whether we're carrying heavier loads or just enough gear for a night. The back torso adjusts vertically to customize the fit for all sizes, and On-the-Fly shoulder strap and waist belt adjustments ensure quick-and-easy micro-adjustments that we can cinch on the trail. Osprey not only integrated a rain cover, but also treated the main fabric in DWR in case you don't get the cover on in time. A LightWire frame offers surprisingly stiff rigidity for how light the pack weighs, and Airscape mesh provides breathable ventilation on your back.

Alright, but not as comfy as expected
There's a small part that digs into my left hip when worn with just a T shirt. When wearing thicker outer layers, it's fine, but not the best.

Mega backpack
Order came quickly- quality product with lots of pockets and adjustment - yet to use but looking forward to a pack that helps distribute the weight more effectively.

Very comfortable for heavy gear
I bought Aether 65 recently and have already used it for hiking in snowdonia Wales. I had lots of gear with me and it was very heavy however I didn’t feel the weight on my back. It is very comfortable and perfectly fits my body. I’m very happy with the quality of this product.

Great pack
Excellent pack. Hardwearing enough to be bashed about in the back of a Land Rover but technical, comfortable and light enough to wear for extended trips out.
