Osprey Packs Aether 60 Backpack - 3500-3900cu in
Aether 60 Pack
By Paul Dahlin
Ranked #32 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
August 7, 2007
I used this pack for a 4 day 3 night backpacking trip. Just enough time to get a feel for it. The pack was well balanced and east to carry. The hip belt and shoulder straps were easy to adjust and worked well. I was carrying about 35 lbs which seems to be a good weight for this pack. If I were going to carry much more I might opt for the Arc Teryx Bora series packs. At the end of the trip the Osprey looked brand new. It is well made and I think it will hold up well over the years.
