Ranked #673 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)

The Aether 70L pack is just downright amazing. I took it backpacking through twelve countries in Europe for two months and it held up like a dream. The waist belt can be custom molded to your body at any outdoor store, but if you just wear it around the house for a few hours with about 25 lbs in it the belt will mold to your frame on its own. I (contrary to popular opinion) really like the fact that the pack is top-loading, because when you are backpacking through Europe it would be easy for a pickpocket to steal something out of an outside pocket; whereas, with the Aether 70 I knew my stuff would be safe. I have taken it on several three and five day long trips in the Smokies and on the A.T. and I have nothing bad to say about this pack it all. It is well worth your $$$
