Osprey's Aether 85 pack is no slouch. And with the technology Osprey put into it, you won't be either. The heat moldable waist belt and thoughtful add-ons mean if you're in for the long haul, you won't run out of pack space or the energy to go on.
A great pack's foundation is a great suspension system. Osprey's Aether 85 is built on the LightWire alloy peripheral frame, which makes this one of the lightest long-distance packs on the market. The Airscape ribbed foam back panel gives a secure fit and allows air to circulate around your back. The IsoForm hip belt belt is heat moldable for a truly custom fit and exceptional support for heavier packs. With so much gear in tow, easy access is essential. The front J zipper allows convenient access to the pack's contents, without unloading everything to find what you're looking for. A front pocket keeps smaller items within easy reach, and large side pockets hold big water bottles. A great system of compression straps allows you to compress the interior as well as the exterior of the pack, for a close-to-body fit and low profile. And in case you're planning on a real doozy of a trip and need a little bit extra pack room, the cord loop AddOns attachment gives a place to secure an extra day pack.
