Description of Osprey Packs Aether 60 Backpack - 3500-3900cu in:
|
Get away from civilization for a long weekend with your Osprey Aether 60 Backpack. You can carry about 50 pounds in this sturdy backpack just in case you're the type who brings the kitchen sink. The Osprey Aether 60 suspension system includes aluminum rods that steady your load and a comfortable foam and mesh back panel that breathes so you won't drip sweat underneath your pack. You have the option of getting the Aether's IsoForm hip-belt custom-fitted to your hips. Put your snacks, headlamp, and toothbrush in the top pocket and load your sleeping bag and other gear into the main compartment. Your hydration bladder (not included) goes into the back-panel hydration sleeve, and dual exit ports let you choose where your hose goes. Side loops hold your skis or your trekking poles.
|
|
Bottom Line: For a quick getaway to the backcountry in any season, load your Osprey Aether 60 Backpack.

| It does more than you think 08-31-07 |
| Endurance Junkie (10): |
| This pack has served as a great alternative to those frameless mountaineering packs for multi-day climbs. It's carried up to 40 pounds well, my helmet fits in the lid, and the straps can hold crampons and an ice axe. It does have extra stuff you don't need, like that stupid stretch panel and the straps for holding a tent on the bottom, so I just cut them off and saved a couple ounces. This pack is well designed, super comfy, and strikes a perfect balance between weight and carrying capacity: Over three pounds lighter than the Arc'teryx Bora but does the job just as well and a lot more comfy than most climbing-oriented packs but weighs less than a pound more. Perfect! (Note: you may have to put bike lube in the alum. stays to stop them from creaking) |

| Aether 60 Pack 08-02-07 |
| Paul Dahlin (1): |
| I used this pack for a 4 day 3 night backpacking trip. Just enough time to get a feel for it. The pack was well balanced and east to carry. The hip belt and shoulder straps were easy to adjust and worked well. I was carrying about 35 lbs which seems to be a good weight for this pack. If I were going to carry much more I might opt for the Arc Teryx Bora series packs. At the end of the trip the Osprey looked brand new. It is well made and I think it will hold up well over the years. |

| My favorite pack 02-04-09 |
| Ian McCalder (6): |
| Okay, here's the scoop. After trying on several packs I finally settled on the Osprey because it was the most comfortable to wear. I can't stress that enough. I broke this baby in during a 5-week long trip across Europe. The pack performed better than expected during this time. My back was well ventilated, the pack didn't shift whilst on my back, and it had more than enough room for 5-weeks worth of clothes, toiletries, souvenirs, and the like.
The most noticable feature of this pack is that it is LIGHT. I mean, really light. Osprey has achieved this by reducing the number of frivolous features on it such as extra pockets (zippers = weight) and gear loops. Yes, it's a top entry only bag, but chances are that if you're taking your pack off you need everything in it anyway.
I love the fact that Osprey makes their bags in three different sizes. I have a long torso and ended up with a large pack which is a huge contributor to the comfort level of this pack. The waist belt is almost too big for me, so I'll have to swap it out with a medium. The suspension itself is easy to adjust once you know where the straps are. The lid has plenty of room for the essentials and maybe some not-so-essentials. I found the best use of the front stretch pocket was to hold my rain cover for the pack. Apparently you can store crampons in there, but I haven't tried yet.
I really have no complaints about this pack. It's pure awesome. Osprey makes packs, and only packs, so all of their R&D dollars go into pack research. Try one today and reap the rewards of a truly pack-centric company. |
