Osprey Aura 50 Women's Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! A favorite among Appalachian Trail thru-hikers and fast-and-light enthusiasts, the Osprey Aura 50 Women's pack combines both durability and lightweight performance. A redesigned backpanel improves upon the already trail-tested load-carrying capability of the Aura 50 Women’s pack.

Committed to providing all outdoor enthusiasts with optimal performance, Osprey equips its women’s packs with gender-specific design features. Harnesses are cut wider through the collar bone area and have an ergonomic taper in the chest area. Offering a women’s specific cant and a narrower cut, the hipbelts found on Osprey’s women’s packs also cater to female users.

Osprey's AirSpeed Suspension system equips the Aura 50 Women's with weight-carrying efficiency and breathability. A lightweight aluminum frame works in tandem with twin titanium struts and a 3D tensioned backpanel to provide the ultimate in support, weight distribution, flexibility and comfort. Thermoformed and perforated waffle foam is used in the Aura 50 Women's harness and hipbelt to further combat heat build-up. Gender-specific, the harness and hipbelt are contoured to provide women with optimal fit. The hipbelt further enhances fit by using Osprey's 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. To make certain that hikers get the ideal fit, the Aura 50 Women's pack is available in three different sizes. The S Aura 50 Women's pack accommodates torsos less than 18.5" in lengths, the M accommodates torso lengths ranging from 18"-20.5" and the L is designed for torso lengths that exceed 20".

Designed to comfortably carry 30-40 pounds of gear, the Aura 50 Women's pack lends versatility for outings ranging from day hikes to fast-moving, light-packing week-long adventures. The S Aura 50 Women's pack offers 2800 cubic inches of storage capacity and the M and L sizes offer 3000 and 3200 cubic inches, respectively. The main compartment of the main packbag has full top access and dual front pockets are accessed through welded weather-resistant zippers. A welded, stretch woven Nylon pocket on the front of the pack allows you to stash extra layers or other gear. A pocket located inside the floating lid of the Aura 50 Women's pack provides yet another organizational option. Side compression straps help you cinch down your load and also serve as lash points for additional gear. Stretch woven side pockets are the perfect place for stashing water bottles or other smaller items.

Other features found on the Aura 50 Women's pack include integrated trekking pole loops and removable straps located in front of the pack that securely stow sleeping pads. An internal lined sleeve and dual exit ports combine to make the Aura 50 Women's pack hydration compatible. Zippered mesh pockets on the hipbelt keep snacks and essential items in easy reach.

Constructed of lightweight, durable 210D Twill Velocity Cordura and 160D x 210D Window Ripstop Cordura, the Osprey Aura 50 Women’s pack is available in your choice of color options.
