Great backpack for medium trips!
This pack is great for trips from about 1-3 days. It has a perfect place to put your pre-exisiting bladder, although important to note that it doesn't come with its own. Great strap pockets for easy camera placement. The frame is lightweight and extremely comfortable. Easy to take of the top if only doing a sinlge night trip, but the pull doesn't close completely, so need to be certain carry a bag for rain if taking off top.

good pack
I had to choose between the Osprey Aura 65 and a Gregory Jade 60.
The Jade felt better on the hips, the pockets on the hip belt were easier to reach, on the Aura the pockets were farther back and a strap went over the middle of the pockets (very hard to reach and get into.) The Jade has a great compression strap on the top of the pack. I did not like the thin straps on the bottom of the Aura, also the side pockets for water bottles cant be used for anything but water bottles (not snacks or small items) because the are only sewn on the bottom and one side. The Jade did not have a small sippered compartment to store money and credit card the Aura did. The Aura did have a large stretch pocket on the front of the pack the Jade did not. I choose the Jade size amall, I'm 5'2" and 120 lbs. and I am happy with it. Would love to take the best of each pack and build one great pack with everything.

great features and light weight
I decided to shave some weight and replace my beloved 15 year old Osprey pack. I love the outside storage options and the hydration carry system. Quite comfortable with a 35 pound load.

great for backpacking weekends
I can fit all my stuff in here and not have a lot of wasted unused room--my platypus hoser fits well and keeps my back cool--great stability for the bag given the lightweight of the bag and the carrying capacity it holds--I plan to take this bag with me thru hiking the at this year

Sizing Chart
Osprey Packs Sizing Chart
Step 1 - Pack Sizing
All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing
To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.

ErgoPull
Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.
Step 3 - Harness
Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).

Step 4 - Overall Fit
Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.
In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
