The Aether 60 is one of the most usable multiday packs I've ever used. In previous iterations, Osprey left out the sleeping bag compartment and built in belt in the top pocket hip pack. For Spring 2010 they made the Aether 60 with the same feature set as the 70 and 85 liter versions. While it doesn't qualify as an "ultralight" pack, it certainly carries like one. The weight is very reasonable considering it has completely interchangeable hipbelt and harness along with 3 torso sizes to choose from. This makes it a pack that can be totally custom fit...and when it fits, it carries beautifully...like an Osprey.
