Why We Like The Aether Plus 70L Backpack
We load up the Aether Plus 70 Backpack for long, gear-intensive adventures. The customizable, close-to-body fit allows for a better carry, while the AirSpace backpanel helps regulate body temp as we trek on. For investigating side trails, we strap on the top lid that doubles as a day pack.

I absolutely love this pack,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this pack, comfortable, durable, and just all around amazing. All the pockets on the out of the pack make for easy assess for essential gear. I also really like how the top comes off to make for a day pack. This is my second Osprey pack and I highly recommended these to any outdoor enthusiasts

Osprey is awesome. They stand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Osprey is awesome. They stand behind their warranty. I had an Aether 70 that had zipper and buckle issues, with some major wear on the straps securing the hip belt. I sent it in; they looked at it, and declared it not worthy of repairing. They sent me an updated model of the backpack I love and recycled parts from my old backpack. What an awesome company!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stock photo does the color no justice. Absolutely beautiful green in person. High quality all around. Lots of features. Very comfortable to wear, the extendable hip belt is a game changer for me. My last back had very little cushion and didn’t come forward far enough for the hips, and this is the opposite. Plenty of adjustment length to fit just about everyone. Very simple to adjust the pack fit to make it work for your body. Plenty of zippers and pockets to keep various things organized Have only taken a short hike with this one so far, but with a 40 pound load it felt great. My last pack had the AG system and it was great, but this feels even better. Still able to ventilate the back area. Looking forward to my trips this year, especially now that I have this.

Best pack by the best brand
Traveled for 17 days in Europe. Bouncing around from place to place. Backpacked in Colorado for 2 weeks. Any adventure this is the pack for you. Would not do any long trip without this pack. And from now on I am only buying osprey.

I would buy this pack again
I seldom write reviews and see far too many where the person reviewing has not used the product yet. I have owned 8 different Osprey packs and have really liked most of them. I have been backpacking for 60 years and have had all styles and brands of packs. The only Osprey pack I didn't like was the Exos 58, but it was because I tend to carry heavier loads and the pack did not fit ""me"" well. Not really a fault of the pack. I recently purchased an Aether 70 plus and am really impressed with it. My previous favorite was the Atmos 65, but the Aether is better in my opinion. The Aether has a lot of adjustability and carries heavier loads well. I been on two trips recently with weights of 30 and 40 lbs. I thought the pack supported those weights really well. I have to call bs on people who claim that whatever pack they were using carried heavy weights like a dream. 30 and 40 pound packs are heavy and you will feel it, but I feel like the Aether is the best i've used for heavier loads. I'm not and ultra light backpacker and don't do 20 plus miles a day so the fact that the Aether is a bit heavy doesn't bother me. I like to be comfortable and warm when backpacking so I bring some extra items, but I try to go as light as I can. If you are in the market for this type of pack I highly recommend the Aether 70 plus.
