Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4600cu in
Philmont
By Jim Saunders
Ranked #540 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
November 3, 2010
We finished Philmont last summer Trek 22 which was a South to North route over Tooth of Time and Baldy. Approximately 110 miles with pack and 10 days of provisions including the extras that adult leaders always feel obligated to carry and this puppy is just plain awesome. If it broke tomorrow I would buy another instantly and will be the only pack I recommend to our troop. If you are new to packs, this is comfy and cheap. Buy it now!
