![]() Unlike other hiking backpacks that only open from the top lid, the Osprey Aether AG 70 has a top drawstring opening, as well as a large pocket on its side that has access to the main compartment. Organization and access is considerably more important when you are travelling with a bag, and unpacking/packing it frequently. “I just used Osprey’s female version ( the Osprey Ariel) for 11 months backpacking around Africa and had no problems, it’s comfortable, durable and reliable” Broke Backpacker writer Ana chimes in with this… The Aether 70 has many pockets and features that make this a comfortable pack for travelling. It certainly kicks the shit out of wheelie suitcases, seriously why does anybody travel with these? The Osprey Aether AG 70 pack is first and foremost a multi-day hiking backpack, but it can easily double up as your only travel backpack. Organization and Accessibility of the Aether 70 Personally, I would NEVER go hiking without a mesh back panel on my pack. This feature helps you avoid a drenched, sweaty back caused by direct contact with the pack. Because of its open mesh back panel, the pack itself sits a couple inches away from your back. The anti-gravity suspension system of this Osprey 70 pack not only helps you support a lot of weight, it also allows for better ventilation. Best of all, this can be the last backpack you ever buy thanks to Osprey’s lifetime warranty! Osprey Aether 70 Ventilation The Aether 70 is tough and durable and will last you for years to come. There is tons of space in the bag and also a lot of external storage options – more on that later. While a minimalist hiker, who counts every oz, may not have as much of a need for overpacking their bag, most travellers will and if you’re heading out on a proper expedition you will need to carry camping equipment, food, water, a machete… The Osprey Aether AG 70 has got you covered for all of that. This isn’t the case for some of their lighter weight backpacks as well as other competitors which simply can’t handle big loads. One great aspect of the Osprey Aether series is you don’t have to worry about over-packing your backpack. This pack is built to last and can handle plenty of wear, no doubt. Reliability and Durability of the Aether 70 **Note that the most comfortable pack Osprey ever released is the groundbreaking Airscape UNLTD pack. You should be able to carry up to 60 pounds in your pack without an oz of weight on your shoulders. The updated 2017 version of the Aether is the best version yet when it comes to comfort. The Osprey Aether is also built for comfort and the super high-quality hip belt keeps weight on your hips and off your shoulders, this is much safer and much more comfortable than a lot of other packs on the market. Depending on your preference you can adjust the load to sit close/far from your upper back too. The backpack is designed to carry its weight close to your centre. Without these straps, a pack can feel off-balance or heavier than it should. This helps you center the backpack’s weight as close to your body frame as possible. Secondly, the Aether, along with many of Osprey’s other packs comes with multiple compression straps along the front and sides. ![]() This means you can carry a lot comfortably. Its ability to handle so much weight is due to its metal frame and Anti-Gravity suspension system, which molds to your back by its suspending mesh back panel. The Aether AG 70 is built to handle 60-pound heavy loads with total comfort (although I hope your pack doesn’t have to be this heavy). I’m starting this review with the Osprey Aether 70 AG’s best quality: its comfortability. Read on for my in-depth Osprey Aether AG 70 review! Hip belt with dual zippered pockets for easy access to your phone and snacks.Top and side zipper opening to the main compartment.The Aether AG 70 is packed to bursting with innovative design features, here are a few of the highlights of the Aether backpack… Personally, I always like to work with a pack that has the option to carry camping gear if I need to and the Osprey Aether AG 70 has plenty of room to carry whatever you need. While not a lightweight pack (5 pounds 3 oz), it’s a top choice for anyone who wants the option to carry a lot of weight, and still want a comfortable pack. The Aether AG line is meant to carry heavy loads, which is great if you’re living out of your backpack and always on the road. Osprey has several different lines of backpacks, all made specifically for male and female body frames. Osprey has a strong reputation for building durable, comfortable packs, and the Aether AG 70 (and Ariel 65 women’s version) is the brand new, top of the line, pack in Osprey’s range of backpacks. Obviously, I was stoked to get an upgrade and take this bad boy for a spin! So, why the Osprey Aether AG 70 pack?
