Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4600cu in
Great Pack For Me

January 8, 2012
I'm 5'10" and 160 pounds with a smaller sized bone frame and this pack fit me fine. There are many adjustments and tweaks you can do to distribute weight and make it comfortable. I went on a 4 day backpacking trip in the Rockies with 55 pounds of gear and I thought the pack performed amazing. After about 30 miles my collarbone had a spot that was rubbed raw from the shoulder strap but that was more of me not wearing a thick enough shirt to protect myself. I found the pack to be much more comfortable than my old Kelty pack. I don't regret spending the money on this pack. Hope this helps!
