OSPREY Backpack REVIEW | Osprey AETHER 70 AG Hiking Backpack

Gear review backpack Osprey aether AG 70. After one season with my Osprey aether 70 AG I decide to not keep this trekking backpack. Lots of friends are satisfied and happy with their Osprey backpacks but it didn’t fit me.
This Osprey hiking backpack has a lot of different features that I like. It’s easy to find space for all different gear and its easy access in to the pag with several pockets and entries. It’s not an ultra-light backpack but the weight of 2,3 kg is okay if the bag had been good. The price of the Osprey pack is also okey if you ask me.
The bad thing with this osprey backpack is simply the carry system and the frame. The frame in the Osprey aether 70 AG is too weak for heavy loads and I expect more from a bag with this weight. The way of measuring the body that Osprey packs have seems to totally forget that people have different widths of their hips. I’m a small guy (172 cm/67 kg) and got recommendations to buy a medium sized Osprey backpack. It fit my length which is also adjustable in a very good way but it doesn’t fit my hips at all. The hip belt is too short to give me a good support when I carry most of the weight on my hips. I really miss the possibilities to adjust or choose different width of the hip belt.
The last thing is the padding of the hip belt. It should shape after your body when you have been using this. In my case that never happened. The aether 70 also makes it feel like I have something pushing in to the left backside of my hip. My friends who just tested the backpack in my kitchen also felt the same so maybe there is something wrong with this Osprey backpack.
Anyway, I liked the storage part of the pack and I think that a backpack with this weight should be little bit more prepared to take heavy loads over 15-20 kg or more.
