Osprey Packs: Aether 85 Backpack - 7 Reviews
Kristin R. - 2007-04-03Excellent pack...lightweight!! Last season I used a Gregory Palisade pack, which worked great for me...but I've been looking to shave some weight...this pack is almost 2 pounds lighter and is slightly larger. I have been on a number of training hikes, carrying 50 pounds, and the pack is very comfortable. I haven't noticed any sore spots at all. It is perfect for my 2 liter Platypus bag as well. I'm very happy with my decision!

2006-06-05great pack I bought an aether 85 in sunburst yellow. I have only 1 trip with this pack so far, but it was a 14 mile overnight thru hike with 6000 vertical feet in alaska's kenai mountains packed with about 45 lbs of gear. I was initially impressed by the build quality, and specs. it is indeed light for a pack of this size. the hip belt and suspension are very nice and fully adjustable / interchangable, I have the large pack size with a medium hip belt. no sore spots or rub spots on my hips or shoulders. My tall size sleeping bag fit in the sleeping bag compartment easily. the hydration pouch and slots / straps for the tube worked very well, my long 3 liter camelback did not fit all the way in the pouch due to sleeping bag at the bottom, but a 2 liter probably would and the 3 liter worked ok. all the compression straps and general compression strap layout worked very well, the bag did not shift on a trip that had some steep 3 point climbs and long ridgline traverse. if your looking for a large volume lightweight pack i highly recomend this one, it has a lot potential. could be a good winter bag, skis (up to mid-fat) could be carried a-frame style in ice axe loops, shovel could fit well in front pocket.
Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 5 of 5 found this review helpful.)
Henry - 2007-08-29Excellent Pack This is an excellent pack. I have used it alongside of many Kelty packs, a few Gregory packs, and some Lowe Alpine packs and have found the Osprey Aether 85 to completely out compete other packs of similar size. I have been very impressed with it's construction.
Is this Useful? - Yes - No ( 6 of 6 thought this was useful.)
