I have carried my Aether 70 now on handful of weekend trips and I must say I absolutely adore it. The suspension on this pack is comfortable even over 50 lbs. I prefer the…

I used this pack 2 years ago for philmont, where we backpacked for ~2 weeks in the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range, this pack was amazing. My pack weighed around 45-50 lbs and…

The trampoline back surface - a tightly woven mesh back panel that lifts the pack off your back by 1/4" to 1/2" is incredible! I'm Polish and Russian by heritage. That means I…

While not the lightest weight pack ( I have tried GoLite, Granite Gear & others) I would not trade this pack for any of them. It is lightweight with great features including…

I use it for biking and hiking. Fits really well. Its like you have nothing on your back. When I commute with it, there is enough room to put my clothes, computer and lunch in…

I currently have a Talon 22, which I love, but I wanted something a little bigger. I also wanted a pack with a large enough front pocket, so I could access my SLR a lot easier…

Very satisfied! With a full load, the pack wears very comfortable for me and feels balanced, stays centered while on rough terrain. Got it in large, I'm 5'10, and it fits m…

I recently went on a backpacking trick with this bag and I loved it. Comfortable to wear for hours. Just enough to hold everything I needed for a couple nights in the mounta…

Once again osprey has made another solid pack. packs down nicely and stands nice and straight. This is a good size for some summer camping, for me at least.…

The Osprey pack was even more than what I had hoped for. It is perfect for my needs. Mainly what I want to say in this review is how amazing the Moosejaw customer support is.…

This is a great bag for those day trips where you're bringing an unusual amount of gear (say rock climbing or being a pack mule for the family). This bag has a lot of great f…

I absolutely love this bag. I had to return it to get the bigger size because, unfortunately, my boyfriend makes me carry a lot when we go out! Now I upgraded to the 65 and it…
- Katie, 06/11/13

The pack is great and is able to fit everything I need for week-long trips. It's a bit much if you're aiming for ultra-light, but does offer flexibility for longer or equipmen…

I like that many extra straps, zippers, pockets, etc were removed during the design process, yet a full suspension system was included. This makes a pack that is comparatively…

I love this pack! It's my first pack and I bought it to carry my climbing gear on trips. It holds everything I need it to and more. The best part - even with it jammed full…

I actually bought the 35 and not the 50, but it seems they don't have that one any more. Anyway, these are awesome packs. I used mine on a 9-month trip around the world, which…

I originally bought a different pack online from Moosejaw but when I went into the store for help fitting it, they basically told me the pack wouldn't work for me at all. Long…

I really like osprey packs and I got this one for my thru-hike of the pct. Although it's not the lightest of ultra-lite packs, it has some really cools features. Very comforta…

This pack is almost advertised as a entry level no frills pack, but I have found it to be a perfect combination of light weight and load carrying capacity. I am replacing my f…

I eyed this bag up for 2 years before I finally bought it. Every review is absolutely glowing, however... 1. The top pouch is extremely impractical. It has a ton of room in…
