The Aether Plus 60 Backpack is for our week-long backpacking adventures and our gear-intensive weekends alike. The durability and stable close-to-body fit keep us confident while carrying heavy loads on technical singletrack.

Mr
Amazing rucksack - best one I’ve ever had, so comfortable and fits my back perfectly. Got it in the sale so was great value but now seeing and using it I would be happy to even pay full price. I’m hoping it’s last me a long time. Highly recommend…happy hiking! :)

Perfect Pack!!
Used this pack to complete 120 miles and 38K vertical feet for the Annapurna Circuit high altitude trek through the Himalayas. It was my amazing constant companion. Living out of a backpack for multiple weeks will bring out the best and the worst and I can’t find a single complaint with the pack. I could nitpick a bit, sure, but I’ve never had a pack come even close to this one in thoughtful details, overall design, customized fit, and the big one - comfort! You’re never going to forget the weight is there, but this pack was so comfortable that during breaks I often just left it on. Wouldn’t consider going with another brand now. The lid doubling as a (actually robust) daypack was key! My friends were jealous of that feature. Amazing backpack and the Osprey system is just so top notch! Thanks, Osprey!!

This pack is a dream!
So surprised there are no reviews on this exceptional pack. Bought this after doing a 32 mile trip using a new Patagonia Nine Trails 36 liter pack. My shoulders and hips were so sore I had to find something else that carried 32lbs better. On first 4 day trip I grew to appreciate the thought that went in to its design. The answer for my needs was the Aether Plus 60. After using something else first, can't stress enough how well this pack carries the same load. The beefy cushy shoulder straps and hip belt carry loads extremely well! Love how the top lid turns in to a great day pack and holds a 3 liter reservoir. The 2 extra pockets (Plus model) behind the shove-it pocket are perfect for an ultralight chair on one side and rain gear on the other so don't have to take up room in main compartment or cram under the side compression straps. The large zipper pulls on all pockets are a great touch and much easier to open than anything else ever used. I absolutely love the easily detached DayLid! The 2 pockets on it keep you organized - can even turn the DayLid storage in to a 3rd pocket to cram more gear in if needed for more organization. The main compartment slider pull is a very clever design that lets user easily open it without any trouble. There are so many options for attaching bulky gear or putting stuff where you want that I still haven't fully explored yet after 1 trip. The lined hip belt pockets are well designed and provide ample room for headlamps, snacks on one side and use the other side as a storage compartment for a HydraPak Hydrant squeeze bulb. This pack is perfect for my needs and really don't know how it could ever be any better or improved any further by Osprey. Yes it is expensive but for the quality you are getting, don't know how one could do any better.

Top of the line price for ""velcro""?
The Osprey has been my go to pack. I look for breathability and quality of design and fit. Osprey has delivered at times and not other times. The Velcro is what bumps this pack down a couple stars. It gives way when you really don't need it to, and for all the adjustable features, I have yet to have a pack accommodate large shoulders. Fit is key and when going over a rock scramble or 30 miles out I need a pack I can depend on, not readjust every 15 minutes via Velcro. I'll be rocking my older osprey packs, and it seems the newer stuff has been getting worse not better. Hope they change my mind.

Top lid access and side pocket strap length
We love your backpacks with two exceptions - I hope you made the opening to the top lid longer so it's more accessible - very difficult to get things out if the pack is fully packed due to limited access. And the adjustable straps on your side pockets are so short it's difficult to strap a tent on the side - only need a couple more inches of strap to make that more functional!
