Ariel 75 Women's Backpack

The Ariel 75 will hold a lot of gear, and it carries the load very well. The pack definitely felt like it had a women's specific fit, and I love Osprey Packs' attention to detail. The ventilated back is wonderful, and the hip belt fits nicely, as do the padded shoulder straps which are a bit closer together for women's narrower shoulders. I've done multi-day solo trips in late fall/early winter and fit everything, including a very warm, rather bulky synthetic sleeping bag. What wonderful is the compression straps on the pack work really well for packing smaller loads in this largish pack. Obviously, I would highly recommend this choice!
