The men’s Aether and women’s Ariel packs have been staples in Osprey’s pack line for 25 years and are their premium backpacks that are full-featured and designed to carry heavy loads with ease. Both the Aether and Ariel have been updated for this Spring with several improvements. The Aether comes in a Plus 60, 70, 85 and 100 as well as the standard Aether 55 and 65; the women’s is available in the Ariel Plus 60, 70, 85, and the Ariel 55 and 65. We tested out the Aether Plus 70 and found it to be even better than the previous version which we reviewed four years ago.
The Aether Plus 70 is ideal for a week-long adventure on the trail or a gear-intensive weekend objective as it provides a stable and comfortable carry for loads of 30-60lbs. You can customize the fit on the fly with the hip belt and shoulder strap and for those summit bids, you can use the removable top lid which quickly converts to a roomy daypack. Some of our other favourite new features include the included rain cover that is stowed in its own zippered pocket, Dual front panel zippered pockets for easy-access storage, and the large front panel zip access to the main compartment.
Constructed with high-quality bluesign-approved high-tenacity nylon and PFC-free DWR, the Aether Plus 70 is not only well designed and performs well in the field, but it’s also made with preserving the environment in mind.
