>>2345977>>2352208I've used my Aether 65 for years and love it. Incredibly comfortable, it's not covered with useless pockets, I even use it as a day pack with snowshoes or skis, since tightening the straps keeps it comfortable when nearly empty.
It's quite heavy, 5lbs, but I find the comfort and reliability make up for it. Extremely durable, and osprey replaces it if you manage to tear it.
The only downside are the water bottle holders. You can't put something hard, like your pots, on the side next to the water bottle, because you won't be able to squeeze the bottle in. I just put my pot in the middle and anything soft on the sides.
