Nathan’s Favorite: Aether 70 AG by Osprey
“A great backpack for long camping or hiking trips!”
With longer trips comes more and sometimes heavier gear. The Osprey Aether AG 70 backpack is perfect for accommodating that gear while keeping you comfortable! Using Osprey’s Anti-Gravity™Technology, the Aether 70 provides comfort with a lightweight mesh panel that extends from the upper torso to the lumbar areas of the pack. This relieves some of the pressures of carrying a heavier pack, making it easier to wear for longer periods of time. When it comes to actually filling the backpack, the Aether 70 AG has a removable top-lid that converts the backpack into a DayLid™ daypack. There’s also an integrated FlapJacket™ cover so that you can use this backpack without its lid. Along with the main compartment is an internal hydration reservoir sleeve, so you can stay hydrated out on the trails. This is the perfect backpack for anyone who needs to carry a lot of gear and wants to stay comfortable at the same time!
