Rated 5 out of 5

Best fit!

I have used various Osprey packs (and others brands) for years. The Osprey has always impressed me. Just purchased the Aether Plus 70 for backcountry search and rescue. The pack fits great and the range of adjustment is one of the best new Osprey features from previous designs. The fit sizing chart provides a good starting point to get the right pack size and then just adjust the pack from there. I have a large upper body (and not in the best shape of my life!) and this pack hugged my back, fit great, and felt like it wasn't even there with 30 lbs. in it. The only minor con is the internal reservoir when used with a full 3 litter Osprey reservoir (the older design that has the handle going down the middle) does take up significant room and takes some finesse to refill when you have a full pack pushing on it. I will try different reservoirs to find the best fit. The internal reservoir however is better than the external reservoir pocket on my Zenith 105 Osprey pack that pushes into my back when full. This pack isn't the lightest on the market and for me that is a plus. It has solid construction and from my previous Osprey pack experience, I anticipate it will last and perform for the rest of my backpacking life! I highly recommend this pack for long weekend backpacking as well as mountaineering.

First and last backpack

I purchased the 85L version in November of 2020 Have used it on 4 weekend outing. Carried it on a 5 mile, 10, and 16 mile day hike. Average weight with all water and food and gear was 50 lbs. It didn't slow me down. I out paced 3 other adults in my group while helping 8 teenage boys prepare for Philmont. I love my pack. I'm still learning the intricacies of backpacking and don't own most of what's required. I look forward to many more weekends out away from civilization
