Osprey Packs Ariel 65 Backpack - Women's - 3800-4200cu in
Works for me
By LT
Ranked #910 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
September 23, 2009
I got this pack for 2-3 night trips. It comfortably carries sleeping bag, clothes stuff sack, 3L water, and food. Use the outside straps for sleeping pad. My boyfriend liked it so much he went out and bought the men's version. As a note, the torso can be adjusted ~4in per size.
My only complaint is that there are are no little pockets for stashing smaller pieces of gear other than the lid. It would have been really nice if osprey had put zippered pouches on the hipbelt and some sort of easy-access compartment inside the main compartment (and accessible from the outside?).
