Osprey Packs Aether 60 Backpack Osprey Packs: Aether 60 Backpack

Sleek design clever features supportive suspension combine to create a surprisingly light pack.

For light mountaineering trips and go-light backpacking the Osprey Aether 60 backpack offers a high performance suspension system typically reserved for larger packs. Two aluminum rods attached to the periphery of the backpanel evenly transfer the weight to the IsoForm custom moldable hipbelt. From there the weight can be further distributed to the shoulders where the IsoForm contoured shoulder harness contributes to a comfortable carry. Both the IsoForm hipbelt and shoulder harness are available in four sizes although most people find that the size included with the pack matches their needs. Osprey pays attention to the details here and everywhere making sure that all pack surfaces that touch the body do not have seams. This greatly reduces the chances of annoying pressure points developing as the day wears on. The Osprey Aether 60 backpack also offers a number of useful features especially suited for carrying climbing equipment and camping gear that is usually awkward to carry. Good examples are the durable Stretch Woven front pocket perfect for carrying a climbing rope and the sleeping pad straps removable if the plan is to cut ounces. The Osprey Aether 60 backpack also takes hydration seriously. The external dual entry side pockets accommodate one liter bottles for easy access and an internal backpanel hydration sleeve with exit ports over each shoulder provide hydration customization. The Osprey Aether 60 backpack is designed to comfortably carry loads of 35 to 45 lbs. For larger loads and the added benefit of a zippered sleeping bag compartment be sure to check out the Osprey Aether 70 and Aether 85 backpacks.

Bought this for hut trips in CO. I have been really happy with it this winter. It contours very well to your body and all the straps on the outside were perfect for strapping snowshoes on etc. Pretty light. All materials seem strong--have used for several trips and no signs of wear.

This is the best of the best. Great construction and style too. I used the pack to travel throughout Europe for weeks and it took all that I could dish out. I plan on staying true to the Osprey brand due to their quality.


The Perfect Summer Pack Image: 5 Stars
by James Clements
The first time I really used this pack was when I went on a seventy mile hike through the Great Smoky Mountains on the Appalachain Trail. We were out for about six days and the Aether 60 never gave me any problems whatsoever. The weight of the pack is minimized my the lack of a sleeping bag access. It can house all of my equipment and the mesh pockets make it easy to get to things I would need immediately. Most importantly this pack is comfortable. If you're lookin for a pack this is the one!


Great lightweight pack Image: 5 Stars

Bought this pack for 1-3 night overnighters during spring-fall. It fits me great and is lightweight compared to other packs. The pack seems well built and has just enough suspension for up to 40 lbs of gear. The backpanel really keeps your back cool. The outside stretch pockets allow you to stuff extra gear when needed. I like a streamlined pack and this one fits the bill. Don't know about durability yet...time will tell.

The pack size is perfect for weekend getaway trips and just small hiking trips when you need to carry some extra layers food camera etc. with you. Shoulder straps have great padding for comfort as well as the cushioning for your back. Great price for size backpack!! Customer service was EXCELLENT in getting me the pack I wanted. Would definitely order from this company again!!!
