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…

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…

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.…

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…

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.…

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…
- Cyrus, 04/16/13

The design seems great, lots of compartments if you're an organizer, one of my best friends swears by it, and I have seen several on the trail that have held up to many miles…

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 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 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…
