Osprey Aether 60 Reviews:
Reviews:
Well worth the $$
Pros: Very comfortable. The AirScape suspension does the job. Hipbelts are moldable and large. Very comfortable all around.
Lightweight
Plenty of pockets and storage.
The Aether is able to be connected to the Daylite day pack. The main reason I bought it.
Cons: No separate access to sleeping bag compartment.
Hipbelt could benefit from some extra small zippered compartments.
Daylite daypack attachment is not the easiest to figure out.
All in all, I have been very satisfied with this pack. It holds plenty, is comfortable to wear and does what it's supposed to do. I really like the way I can attach my daypack to the main pack, however that convenience does come at a price, as the daylite is somewhat smaller than my usual daypack. Overall, a bomber pack from a bomber company.
Comfy!
Ballin' Backpack
Not too big, not too small
It adjust easily on the go and it is very comfortable.
Lots of thoughts went into this pack, such as multiple ways to retrieve your gear and plenty of exterior features to attach extra gear.
I would recommend this pack to anyone who is starting out.
