It's strictly a matter of opinion. I like the Osprey suspension system better & their hip belts seem to have more padding. The weight factor is a toss up.----------I disagree. One of the issues with the Airspeed system is the noise they make if dirt gets inbetween the pole sections of the frame. I personally don't think it's near as comfortable or durable either. The Schoeller Dynamic material used by Granite Gear along with the composite suspension makes for the best suspension system in a pack available IMO.
