If you are a lover of outdoors and fun to you means going on long treks up the mountains and bungee- jumping, then you cannot not have heard about Osprey. It is the premium brand of all things outdoors. It has lots of mountaineering and trekking goodies on offer. But if you are looking for a backpack that is going to suit your requirements, then settling for the Osprey Aether 85 is a great idea.
The Aether 85 is actually been a favorite with trekkers and mountaineers for the last 8 years since it first came out. If weekend endeavors out in the wilderness is what you love, then this backpack is going to be everything your heart desires. The latest version of the backpack is called the Osprey Aether 85 2010 and has all the features you can ask for. The great thing about it and the reason why it has such a mass following is perhaps because it is so adjustable, especially the latest version. You can adjust it easily to suit your needs, your height, weight and your gender!
With dimensions of 30.5 inches high, 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep, it is one of Osprey's larger options and is a good idea when weekend long trips is what you are planning. This backpack is a sort of an investment, because you can use it on short overnight trekking trips as well as long weeklong trips- without any trouble. It comes in two sizes, large and small, so you can choose one according to your requirements. And you want to know something interesting? Regardless of whether you choose the small or large Osprey Aether 85, it is going to weigh the same, which is 4 pounds, 12 ounces!
The building material is 420D nylon and it has certain sensitive sections which have been made with meshed Lycra for stretch-ability. The sides come with side pockets which provide easy storage for your water supplies. There is a large stretch pocket in the front which can be easily expanded to provide cover over a helmet or hold a raincoat.
Cons? Well, the Aether 85 is not suitable for people who are planning to go on afternoon treks as the size is a little too big for such trips. Also, tiny pockets for keeping keys and other small items is lacking in this backpack.
All in all, a good backpack for serious trekkers.
