Product Highlights
Updated for 2010! The Osprey Aether 70 strikes an excellent balance between lightweight design and load-bearing performance. Ideal for multi-day backpacking trips, the Aether 70 offers 4000+ cubic inches of storage capacity and comfortably carries up to 65 pounds!
Constantly striving to enhance comfort and performance, Osprey has equipped the Aether 70 with the LightWire aluminum alloy peripheral frame and a recycled HDPE framesheet. A single vertical aluminum stay further bolsters the Aether 70’s load-bearing capability. This design ensures your balance by effectively distributing weight. A textured, foam backpanel and IsoForm harness maximize comfort and help to reduce heat build-up between your back and the pack. Further enhancing fit, the revolutionary IsoForm CM hipbelt utilizes an ErgoPull closure that draws tension along the top and the bottom of the belt. A sliding sternum strap and load-lifter straps allow you to fine-tune fit with on-the-go adjustments. Each of three available sizes of the Aether 70 offers torso adjustability. The S accommodates torsos less than 18.5" in length, the M accommodates torso lengths ranging from 18"-20.5" and the L is designed for torso lengths that exceed 20".
To guarantee that the Aether 70 fits like a glove, Osprey offers swappable IsoForm hipbelts and shoulder harnesses. The S hipbelt fits waists ranging from 27"-31", the M hipbelt fits waists ranging from 30"-34", the L hipbelt fits waists ranging from 33"-37" and the XL hipbelt is designed for waists larger than 36". For most backpackers, the shoulder harness size should match the pack size, but for those with wider or narrower shoulders, additional sizes are available. The Aether 70's IsoForm harness is available in S, M and L sizes. Each size provides a vertical adjustability of 2"-3".
Designed to comfortably carry 50-65 pounds of gear, the Aether 70 is available in three sizes. The S Aether 70 offers 4000 cubic inches of storage capacity and the M and L sizes offer 4200 and 4400 cubic inches, respectively. The packbag is top-loading, but a sleeping bag compartment offers lower, front access. A front pocket utilizes welded stretch woven Nylon fabric to serve as a convenient storage spot for layers of clothing or other gear. Elastic side pockets are the perfect place for stashing water bottles or other smaller items. Side compression straps enable you to cinch down your pack to keep contents safely and securely in place and also double as lash points for additional gear. Buckled straps that pass over the front of the packbag are designed to further enhance the compressibility of the Aether 70 and provide yet another place to stow gear.
Other features found on the Aether 70 include integrated trekking pole loops and a top lid that is removable for use as a lumbar pack. Removable straps located in front of the sleeping bag compartment securely stow sleeping pads. An internal lined sleeve and dual exit ports combine to make the Aether 70 hydration system (sold separately) compatible.
The Osprey Aether 70 is available in your choice of color options.
