Really great video with one issue the title this is not a review. Review involve opinions and showing both the good and bad this is more of an overview showing the features to allow people to better understand what they are buying. But it is not a review
I just found out the updates here!. So, basically Osprey just made their Aether's backsystem back to Airscape?. How does it feel compare to the previous AG?. Btw, i like the color option on AG, mine is Adirondack Green.
The new Airscape backpanel is now an injection-molded framesheet with a more textured feel than the former Airscapes, and much firmer than the AG, as it sits directly against the back. That Adirondack Green is snazzy!
Hi Erwin. Thanks for pointing out the difference between the new model and the old AG. I couldn’t find the old AG model on the website. I just bought the aether 70 ag in adirondack green yesterday. I pretty much bought the pack for the colour lol. And it was at a crazy price of $250
It is! Comfort is of course subject to the individual and use of the pack, so it perception of comfort can certainly vary from person to person. Without the trampoline-style mesh of the AG system, the framesheet is in constant contact with the wearer, which some folks prefer for the support, while others may not. It really comes down to personal preference and fit.
Thanks for this video. But, I have a small problem, so I need you to help me choose right. I am tall about 185cm, and my problem is, how I can find my torso lenght?! From where to where I must mesaure to find this lenght, for buying right size backpack?! Thanks in advance for any answer!

@@AlexeyDnepr after using both, I preferred the airscape system. The anti-gravity suspension system felt amazing at first but ended up not supporting my back enough causing pain. I did not have that problem on the Airscape system
Hi there, how about the aluminium back frame and molded sheet durability of this aether/ariel series? How does it withstand fallings on your back while slipping? I mean, does it bend? Thanks!
Hi there! The frame and suspension are substantial enough to carry 60 liters, and can withstand reasonable bumps and falls. Like all frames, it can bend under excessive force or torque, but is meant to hold up to long-term use.
not bad i got an eather 65 .and the girls version aeriel 65 for my daughter ,, but preffer my fjallraven kajka 75 for tougher missions , some whine its heavy does that matter , i always thought that depended what went into the thing ! correct me if im wrong
They look nice. But didn't they take away the stowaway loops on the 55L and 65 L packs for hiking poles? Also the flap jack cover is not there after taking off the top lid? Did they really make it better compared to the old one? I have an Aether 65 L from 2019 and it has the loops for hiking poles stowaway and the cover after taking off the top lid. It does look like the adjustability and air escape meash is better. But the loops and the flap jack cover would even made it better. Does the hip belt grip you like the previous Aether Backpacks? I did find it a little cumberson to use when trying to take my previous modeled Aether 65 L off with 30 Ibs or more. I would have to sit on a rock or log to unlock it . It seemed to grip a little too good? It did work great when hiking.
Hi Jeffrey! Dual ice axe loops with bungee tie-offs, so they operate the same as the stow-on-go system, but they are entirely on the backside instead of the harness. The floating lid is removable, but does not have the FlapJack underneath. The hipbelt is molded so it retains it shape, but the Fit-on-the-Fly does offer some more flexibility.
@@derwaldmeister3954 Disagree. Had one on a trip from Switzerland to Italy over the Alps with rain periods. Fjallräven are too heavy already empty.When they get wet in rain, they they become even harder and the drying person takes to long. Fjallräven are nice for travel in flat areas but not for hikking in terrain, even if there marketing tells different. If you go the the mountains they are the wrong backpack.
While the Aether plus and Aether are both great options, the Aether plus has a few additional features including a toplid that converts into a daypack and stow on the go trekking pole attachment points. However, these features do add some additional weight to the pack, which can be a deciding factor for some folks. The fit and load rating is equally comparable, with both series using Airscape backpanel and both fit-on-the-fly hipbelt and shoulder straps. Thanks for your question!
@@Enwild Thanks for the reply! I got the regular Aether 65 as it is on sale(I think) on Amazon UK for like 50%. Have to wait and see if it's legit tho.
They are really tough . More straps than a bra shop ! And adjustable sheesh i just replaced an old fjallraven with the aether 65 , you can adjust this pack at every angle the trick is loosen as many straps you can, pack it then pull all the adjusters , it snugs everything up nicely , i go lightweight so my full camping gear + 1 spare pants t shirts socks , essentials . Thats it ..nikons in a seperate pack im kayaking no way am i carrying them nikons ,

So many ultralight packs out there i want to try but as a weekend warrior I love my Osprey pack. It keeps me well organized and very comfortable

@@Enwild what do you mean by "firm" is it still comfortable?

Really awesome, looks like a nice update! (wish the men's version had the red colour though)

Were wondering the switch from AG suspension system to Airscape though. Still, both are phenomenal back system.
Which version of the backrest system is better AG or Airscape?

@0:40 the size of those two look identical? Where are the additional 10L?
Sad that the lid is no longer converts to small backpack.

The ones on the video are the Small or the Large size?
Both colors are the Large/XLarge size, thanks for watching!
Does the top lid of this backpacks turn into a small daypack???
hello! That is not a feature on this version. The lid is a standard floating lid with lash points.
Which version of the backrest system is better AG or Airscape?
Fjallräven Kajka is the best.

What are the differences from the model Aether Plus?
Price. 😜
They should thoughtfully include g hooks to sort them straps from slapping around in the wind
this video unfortunately didn't have quite the asmr effect that Ive felt in other enwild videos.
Me likey
