Osprey Aether 85 Backpack - Review

The Osprey Aether 85 pack has been a staple of my backcountry kit for several years now (including big winter ski touring trips) but things have changed. Osprey recently updated the Aether pack and the ladies Arial pack for the better. You can read about all the great new features on the updated Aether pack here, or have a look over the original review here as it lists all the details of the now older version as well as the newer version. The women's Ariel pack will be reviewed shortly as well, so stay tuned for that one.

New features on both the Ospreay Aether and Ariel packs include, the mproved Airscape back panel, improved IsoForm 4 CM hip belt, external Hydration capability and the addition of two large hipbelt pockets, one on each side.

Some things do get better with time and the Ospreay Aether 85 pack is certainly one of them. Give a read of the full review here.
