The Osprey Aether 70 Backpack Tackles Both Rugged Land and Air Travel

Whether on the wilderness path or on the streets of civilization, the Osprey Aether 70 backpack provides a good gear option for your adventures.

The Aether 70 backpack includes a number of nice features, such as J-zipper panel access, Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment and an improved suspension technology.

Supported by a LightWire alloy frame, the Osprey Aether 70 backpack remains tough with double-ripstop nylon that holds up to technical terrain and the abuse of air travel.

As one user noted, this pack wears "like a second skin or loose like a traditional external frame" for superior comfort and exceptional load versatility.

The lightweight design with a removable and custom moldable hipbelt allows each hiker to get the best fit from a range of sizes. You can even switch the hipbelt from other Osprey models for a perfect combo fit.

A well ventilated pack, the Aether 70 harness and mesh promotes airflow to ward off moisture in hot conditions or extreme action.

Some of the complaints about the Aether 70 are difficulties in gaining access to the sleeping bag compartment and the inabilty to use Nalgene containers due to the way the compression straps tighten the load. Use a hydration bladder instead.

Overall the Osprey Aether 70 backpack offers mountaineering style design in a lightweight package for tackling tough outdoor terrain.
