I had an Atmos 65 airframe. Although that pack was well built and nicely outfitted, it did not work well on my body. The back of the pack simply didn't lay close enough to my back and thus pulled on shoulders and neck and tended to throw me off balance, no matter how I adjusted it. SO, because that Osprey and my other Osprey, the bullet-proof Kode, were so well built, I sold the Atmos and got an Aether 70. And this one fits my body much better. I love the way I have to pry the hip belt open like a clam, to insert myself, reminds me of an old race car seat I had. Once in the hip belt closes as if it was built just for me. And it carries the load. I have to remember to put at least SOME of the load onto the shoulders.Another advantage of the Aether is the good idea of the top-hat that becomes a fanny-pack. This saves me carrying the extra weight and bullk of a hip pack for day-hike-peak-assaults from a high camp. But the top-hat disconnect, reconnect and belt design need a bit of rethinking or fine-tuning. The belt tends to slip, the disconnect is fine, but the reconnect not so smooth, and the overall fit of the top-hat to the pack is a bit funky. Lastly, the top-hat fabric is not tough enough to withstand fanny-pack grinding downhills. I had a slight brush with some granite on the way down an Adirondack peak and the top-hat fabric gave out at one of the seams, right on the stitching, either from abrasion or strain. But these Osprey packs are quality at high levels for sure, and there is a certain confidence and satisfaction that comes with that. I tend to carry between 35-45 lbs in my Aether, depending on the trip length and season. It handles that load range with aplomb, and rides closely to my body, to help maintain balance on the kind of rough terrain better thought of as an obstacle course than a trail. A fine tuning of the removable top-hat would make this pack as perfect as a pack can be.

Probably the best backpacks out there, quality rucksacks. Anti gravity technology to distribute the weight to your hips and take some of the weight off your back and shoulders.70l capacity with a sleeping bag compartment at the bottom that you can open up do it is just one big bucket compartment, which is what I did.No problems getting all your wildcamping kit into this, plenty of pockets and compartments , a large one at the back for clothes etc, large hood compartment, mesh pocket under the hood for keys etc. Two drinks pockets either side, two small pockets either side of the hips. The hood compartment is removable if needed.It has a waterproof cover tucked away just under the hood too androom for a large water bladder.There are a lot of straps and attachment points on this pack to pull everything tight across the pack, at the sides of the pack and a clip inside the pack too, so the pack is kept tight to the body with no sagging to keep the pack feeling light when wearing when full.The shoulder straps are really comfortable too as are the hip, there is a strap going across the chest to clip in too for weight distribution.It is covered by the all mighty guarantee too so if you register your product, if anything goes wrong with the pack from casual use then osprey will repair the pack and if they can't then they will replace it so it is good peace of mind that you are well covered if something goes wrong.This is a great rucksack, really nice colour too in green, tons of room and features, covered by the all mighty guarantee, very pleased with the purchase would definitely recommend.

I recently used this pack for an intensely busy 1-week trip to Alaska. This was my summer vacation and included a lot of hiking/camping in rough terrain. WHAT A GREAT PACK! Was incredibly comfortable, easy to use, and I can tell it will stand a beating over the years. I packed everything I needed in this for one week, minus a change of clothes, toiletries, a laptop, a DSLR, and 3 chargers which I kept in my carry-on just in case. That weight would have added approximately 6lbs. The total weight for the bag with all the other things I needed for a week topped out at 30.1lbs. That's a great starting place for anyone considering this back for thru-hikes or urban backpacking in Europe/Asia.Favorites: Angled access for standard size nalgene bottles on the side is a GREAT idea. The removable top which converts to a day pack is awesome too. Loved the front zipper for easy access to the main compartment. VERY comfortable on my back and easy to get through airport security for a carry on in a pinch as long as it's not totally full and. This thing is clearly built to last. Not-favorites: I am a very small male - 5'7, 140lbs, with a 30" waist. The smallest hip-belts, a male S or female XS, are still a tad too big for me. It didn't bother me hiking at all except a little rubbing on one side. But that was hardly noticeable. Not sure how the hip-belt would fare comfort wise on an extended trip over 5 days. I think it's fine but I had the belt cinched up ALL of the way with no extra left.

This is my first backpack. I did a lot of research and tried on several at REI and it was the best for my needs. I've used it once so far on a 28 mile three night trek carrying 48lbs and it was excellent. It was comfortable, had pleanty of room, exterior pockets and straps for everything I brought and needed. It was my first piece of backpacking equipment and I had to buy everything needed to be able to do this. I did not want to replace anything or wish I had bought "the other one" so I bought as good of stuff as I could with a lot of online research and time in REI. I was happy with the Aether backpack when I got back to my car after carrying it for four days.My body took a beating as it was considered a rough trail but I can't imagine that there is a backpack that would have been better. Day time temperatures were in the low 80's with low humidity and I never had sweat running down my back or even thought about it being hot on my back. Bring a bungee cord for carrying the shoes your not wearing. I'm planning on doing the same trail again next month, October 2018, and look forward to using my backpack again. Eagle Rock Loop in Arkansas in April 2018 was my first backpacking adventure. I would reccomend the Osprey Aether 70 pack!

I hiked over six days with this pack in 30 degreee C wearing it continuously for seven hours a day and it does work well. There is very little pull on the shoulders as most of the pack weight is transferred to the hips. The pack was initially very uncomfortable and painful, however, as it presses hard around the hips and my shorts had adjusting waist straps which ripped my skin under pressure from the rucksack. I placed some hiking socks as a cushion under the waist band which made it work well without pain. this is a pricey pack, but in fact almost everyoneelse on the walk (300+) had an Osprey, so I guess it is going to last a while.Couple of things to note:1.The back rest does not detach so a sponging down is required to stop it smelling from sweat and 2. For those who do not want to use the non-BPA feee water system, you cannnot retrieve a waterbottle from the side pockets without removing the pack from your back, so I ended up carrying my waterbottle in my hand

I've never spent good money on a backpack until this one. For years I've dealt with sore shoulders, acne on my back (from backpacking), rubbing on my tailbone, and basic features. I can't believe what a difference this backpack made for me and highly recommend it. The pack makes even a 50lb load feel comfortable with the way it hugs your hips and back, and the mesh panel breathes well and my skin is much clearer after trips. The hip pockets are large enough for a ton of small equipment or food, the day pack is functional for alpine climbing, compression straps tighten the load against your back, the hiking pole holders are super convenient, it holds ice axes well,and the dual water bottle holders are reachable and functional. I can't get over how much I love this backpack. It's really made me enjoy backpacking and heavy loads a lot more.

I used the Aether 70 to carry my gear on a 400 mile trek from Selma, Alabama to Memphis, Tennessee following the National Civil Rights Trail and other historic sites where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. either pastored or led marches. During my hike the Aether 70 provided all the space I need for my belongings and more. After completing the first 50 miles I unloaded some of my gear reducing the pack weight from 43 to about 35 pounds. Overall I was very happy with the pack and especially the easy access to all its compartments. I do wish I had taken more time prior to starting the hike to get all the adjustments I needed for the weight I was carrying worked out.

I'm not an 'ultralightweight' camper, If it's comfortable then it's fine as far as I'm concerned. When I first put this on it was like wearing a back support, quite surreal. It's worth taking some time to fettle with all the adjustments but when it's right it fits like a glove and I carry anything up to 20 kgs and it feels fine. Has a load of excellent features too, I love the front access door if you want to dive in there without unloading half your stuff. looking forward to many years use from this.

I actually use my bag to carry my telescope around. The scope fits perfectly in a 70 liter bag, and all the accessories fit into the pockets. I have been using my bag to carry my telescope for 6 years. I have traveled all North America with it. I just sent it back and received a new one, because the first bag was falling apart. They are made great for my telescope business. I also use it whenever I go on hiking trips, of course.

I have done much research on what Hiking backpack to use over the past few months and I finally decided to choose the Aether 70L. I couldn't of made a better choice this is perfect for any expedition or camping break. I will be using this for my camping trips and as my BOB (bug-out-bag). Perfect all round, good quality and very robust. I will be looking into further purchases by Osprey and Millets. Thank you for great product

As many Osprey backpacks I found this Aether 70l very comfortable and it’s one of the most important aspects I look at when choosing a backpack.It comes with detachable rain cover and it has many storage pockets.The only downside - I think the backpack is a bit too complicated, the design of main compartment top I found a bit confusing and simpler traditional design would be better. But overall I’m happy with this product

Great pack. Only two small criticisms:- Not very each to reach water bottles with the pack on. Depends on the shape of your bottle I guess, but for larger bottles I'm guessing it'd be impossible.- Not truly one size fits all - I have a 30" waist and I had to tie the tightening straps for the belt to get it tighter than designed. As such, if your waist is under 32", you might not want to make this your first choice.

I'm not an expert on backpacking, but work with folks who are. I wanted to go on an extended outing and turned myself into a gear geek. I did my research and decided on the Aether AG 70. It's plenty large enough to haul everything I want/need. Love the various storage pockets. I went on a 5 day hike on the Foothills Trail and have no regrets on my gear. I'd buy the same pack again and suggest it to others as well.

A very good backpack with practical features. Wears very comfortable even when fully loaded. But I would have two criticisms, the shoulder straps twist outwards with the chest strap open, which is a bit annoying. And the rain cover has a bit tight, a mattress attach outside + rain cover over it does not really work, i. It can not be safely pulled over the entire backpack.

I also got this for thruhiking the Foothills Trail. Im also a member of the FTC. Ive had this pack for a couple of weeks now. So far I have put several miles on it already. I normally am out somewhere on the trail or nearby every weekend. This pack has been great. Especially for heavy multi day loads.
