My wife and I just had our first child and we are also in the midst of working on two separate guidebooks. I purchased this pack to help me complete the more backpacking intensive "Hiking Wyoming". Now that I am carrying my gear, our Childs gear, and extra camera gear I needed a pack that could hold up to the challenge. The Aether Plus 85 has been a great pack so far. I took it on an absolute brute bushwhack through deadfall and and a half frozen marsh. I was pleasantly surprised how stable to pack felt and how well it carried weight all loaded down. Love the DayLid feature as well as trekking pole attachment. This thing is made well and has already help up to much abuse. I do a lot of day hiking and peak bagging from camp when I'm backpacking and having the DayLid ...

Started with an Atmos and loved it! Needed something for a longer trip and moved into the Aether. For whatever reason I have packed more in it, but it feels lighter than my Atmos. In between the packs I tried a Mystery Ranch. It was a good pack, but the little things are what separate the Osprey from the Mystery Ranch. The hip belt pockets, spots to put carabiners on the shoulder straps.

When I first ordered this backpack, I didn't want the green. But I was in a hurry and they were sold out of the black. The green in real life looks way better than the picture. Its way darker. I actually like it better than the black.

After searching for the perfect pack I finally got this one. So many pockets. Lightweight. Removable brain that turns into a day pack. It is perfect for 5day plus hikes
Exceeded expectations. Fitting was easy (even intuitive). Opted for larger capacity, but compression makes it simple to scale down. Variability is great with a top sack that works separately with ease. Highly recommend…
Just got back from a week in the Emigrant Wilderness. Carried 45 lbs plus with only 1 issue. After day 1 had too much pressure on my shoulders and was able to adjust the torso length to make the pack fit perfect. No pressure the rest of the trek. Plenty of room all my gear to make for comfortable camping.
Really like the backpack and other than a few minor things would have given it five stars:- it packs easily, can carry a bear vault sideways even- well designed, sturdy, stable, easy to adjust all straps- carries weight well (i've carried 50 pounds)- has ample pocketsThere are few places to attach to the back (e.g. wet towel, shoes, hat, etc.). i would have appreciated a few more loops. Also on the internal daypack i had to replace one of the buckles that kept separating at inopportune moments.
When I bought a similar pack at the end of 2017, I wrote a rave review about it and would amend it if I could, but you cannot go back that far in the reviews. So everything I say only relates to the Osprey Men's Aether AG 85 Pack which dates from 2017.I love the design, fit and functionality of this beast, and all throughout the first 4 years I'd say it was friendliest backpack I ever used. I definitely babied it: whenever I checked it into an airline I tried to protect it with a pack cover (from another manufacturer) and it helped keep the pack in great condition. Unfortunately, at about 4 years the polymers in some of the critical straps began to break down so that they would rip off on tightening. I can now even rip them in half with my fingers, and I wouldn't ...

I can now even rip them in half with my fingers, and I wouldn't trust it on top of some freezing mountain. It's not a big deal with some of the straps because they are easily replaceable, but others are actually sewn into the body of the pack so to replace them you'd need to take apart the seam and sew new ones into it. It's a bit disheartening because aside from this, it's still very serviceable and I feel the same about the excellent design and quality otherwise -- but I'd expect it to last more like 8 years and not 4, given the cost.Maybe I'll try a different brand next time, or maybe I'll use repairing it as an excuse to go to Asia and find someone to replace all the straps (that I'll give them!).
Would be 5 stars but the strap for the brain is glued on instead of sown on. Broke the night before my 6 day trip as I was filling my pack the day before. Dont know why its glued on, seems like a bad design. My osprey atmos has everything sown on, and I've never had anything break on it (nearing 100 days with that pack)
Bought this back end of 2022. Amazing quality. Came with day pack and rain cover. Took it on 11 day hike in your do Mont Blanc and it performed amazing. Can carry 50lbs on 140lb male no problem! Very comfortable padded straps!
