Osprey Packs Aether 60 Pack - 3500-3900 cu in

Get away from civilization for a long weekend with your Osprey Aether 60 Backpack. You can carry about 50 pounds in this sturdy backpack just in case you're the type who brings the kitchen sink. The Osprey Aether 60 suspension system includes aluminum rods that steady your load and a comfortable foam and mesh back panel that breathes so you won't drip sweat underneath your pack. You have the option of getting the Aether's IsoForm hip-belt custom-fitted to your hips. Put your snacks, headlamp, and toothbrush in the top pocket and load your sleeping bag and other gear into the main compartment. Your hydration bladder (not included) goes into the back-panel hydration sleeve, and dual exit ports let you choose where your hose goes. Side loops hold your skis or your trekking poles.

Bottom Line: For a quick getaway to the backcountry in any season, load your Osprey Aether 60 Backpack.

It does more than you think

This pack has served as a great alternative to those frameless mountaineering packs for multi-day climbs. It's carried up to 40 pounds well, my helmet fits in the lid, and the straps can hold crampons and an ice axe. It does have extra stuff you don't need, like that stupid stretch panel and the straps for holding a tent on the bottom, so I just cut them off and saved a couple ounces. This pack is well designed, super comfy, and strikes a perfect balance between weight and carrying capacity: Over three pounds lighter than the Arc'teryx Bora but does the job just as well and a lot more comfy than most climbing-oriented packs but weighs less than a pound more. Perfect! (Note: you may have to put bike lube in the alum. stays to stop them from creaking)

does this pack have any external water bottle pockets? sometimes its a pain to dig in the pack for that nalgene.

Yes. The Osprey Packs Aether 60 Pack has two lycra sleeves on either side of the bottom that can easily hold a Nalgene or similar water bottle (or trail mix or map). There is also a clip for your keys in the top compartment and a whistle on the sternum strap buckle in case you need to signal for help.

My boyfriend gets hot very easily and sweats a lot. Does it matter if I get the gel back or the breathable mesh? Will it be just as comfortable?

I sweat like a maniac, and I don't have a particular preference in regard to mesh vs foam or whatever else they come up with, my back is still going to sweat. I combat it by using a good wicking baselayer, and another shirt over that that wicks or dries fast as well.

Aether 60 Pack

I used this pack for a 4 day 3 night backpacking trip. Just enough time to get a feel for it. The pack was well balanced and east to carry. The hip belt and shoulder straps were easy to adjust and worked well. I was carrying about 35 lbs which seems to be a good weight for this pack. If I were going to carry much more I might opt for the Arc Teryx Bora series packs. At the end of the trip the Osprey looked brand new. It is well made and I think it will hold up well over the years.
