The defining feature of the Aether 70 is the carrying harness. A lightwire peripheral frame effectively transfers loads to the Isoform4 CM hip belt whilst a single aluminium centre stay maintains the Airscape backpanel shape to enhance airflow and breathability. Isoform shoulder harness and Isoform4 CM hipbelt balance cushioning with support to provide an extremely comfortable yet stable carry. The Isoform hip belt can be heated in our shop to get the perfect fit, or if you can’t get to us, remove the hip belt and wear it for 10 minutes and it will mould to your body. Further fit customisation is achieved by offering two sizes, each with further back length adjustment on the shoulder harness. So it is easy to get the perfect fit
Osprey certainly know how to maximise storage options on their packs and the Aether is no exception, there are no fewer that 7 external pockets on this pack to make sure that whatever you bring along finds a home. The lid can be completely removed and features a webbing belt to turn it into a waist pack, a really handy feature when travelling.
Access to the main compartment can be through the top or via the J zip which runs around the front of the pack, in a J shape, allowing quick and easy access to the contents. The main compartment can also be split to divide the load or keep wet dirty kit separate; the lower compartment can then be accessed through the wide mouth lower opening.
Fully hydration compatible with a clever external bladder sleeve to make re-filling quick and easy so no more rooting around inside the pack to drag out your hydration bladder. Trekking poles are easily stowed without having to remove the pack thanks to the Stow-On-The-Go sytem, for me this brilliant system really sets Osprey packs apart from the competition.
If the Aether 70 is just not big enough, or you need more versatile carrying options, you can attach a Daylite 13 pack to the front of the Aether using the Add-On loops.
