"Best All-Around Weeklong. These men's and women's internal-frame packs are bigger versions of the Osprey mid-size that swept our all-purpose pack test last spring (5/06) and against a very competitive field." - Backpacker Magazine 2007 Gear Guide

Description
The Osprey Aether 85 Backpack lets you have it both ways -- a streamlined backpack with all the creature comforts you want. It's no wonder that the Osprey Aether 85 was named the "Best All-Around Weeklong" backpack by Backpacker Magazine and was awarded the "Gear of the Year Award" by Outside Magazine.
One of our most popular multi-day backcountry packs, the cornerstone of the Osprey Aether 85 is its versatility -- lightweight materials, creative design and custom sizing all combine to make the Aether 85 a great choice for backpackers of all abilities and activities.
PLEASE NOTE: Medium sized packs come with a Medium hipbelt and Large sized packs come with a Large hipbelt. If you would like us to swap hipbelt sizes -- i.e., a Medium for a Large or Large for a Medium, please indicate this in the Optional Comments field at checkout.
