The newly updated Osprey Ariel 75 pack features a custom heat-moldable hipbelt and a women-specific fit and torso length, all in a superb, lightweight design for your backcountry adventures.

Women's IsoForm CM™ (Custom Moldable) removable hipbelt offers superior load support with 3D dual-density foam and an anatomically contoured shape for a woman's hips
Osprey-certified Custom Molding available in most stores—check your local REI store for a custom hipbelt molding oven
ErgoPull™ hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom—not through the center—to relieve hipbone pressure
Women's IsoForm dual-density foam harness with spacer mesh promotes airflow and wicks away moisture during warm weather and intense activity
LightWire™ suspension uses peripheral rods, a nubbed foam back panel, single stay and an internal framesheet
Running down the sidewall, the peripheral rods anchor to load lifter straps and hipbelt, actively transferring load to your hips and resisting sag
HDPE framesheet and a 2/3-length aluminum stay protect your back from bulky or pointy items and support heavy loads
Top pocket can be removed and converted into a lumbar pack; IsoForm hipbelt on pack can be removed and slid onto lumbar pack for comfortable carrying
J-zipper panel access makes packing and accessing your gear a breeze
Externally accessible bottom compartment with wide mouth and divider accommodates all types of sleeping bags
Dual-entry, stretch-woven side pockets keep essentials easily accessible, and a stretch-woven front pocket with welded vent accepts Osprey AddOns™ (sold separately)
Straightjacket™ compression with 3 horizontal straps let you securely compress the contents whether full or nearly empty, and without sag or load distortion
Internal compression strap stabilizes the load
Stow on the Go™ trekking pole attachment, side gear straps, ice axe tool loops, cord loop attachment slots and sleeping pad straps accommodate a variety of alpine gear
Hydration-compatible design features reservoir sleeve and dual drink tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)

Comments about Osprey Ariel 75 Pack - Women's:

So far haven't used this on a hard-core backpacking trip yet, but will soon. I've used it for several camping trips, including one where I had to haul gear for several other people as well as my own on a mile or so hike. So far it's been super comfortable, even with heavy loads. It's very well designed. The only thing I'd ask for is a few more pockets for things like cellphones and such, but those can be improvised. I also don't really have a need for ice-pick holders or whatever some of the straps and loops are for, but hey...you never know. Other than that it's roomy, has great compression straps, good padding, etc. I got the hipbelt molded at an REI store, which I'd recommend doing. All in all I'm really happy with it.

Comments about Osprey Ariel 75 Pack - Women's:

I took this to the Grand Canyon for 6 nights below the rim and loved every minute of it. I went in with about 42lbs not including the pack weight and water.

The pack is highly adjustable and very roomy. I was really torn b/t the Ariel 65 and the 75; I decided to go w/ the 75 b/c I don't like cramming things into my pack and the compression in the Ariel easily cinches up smaller loads. That versatility made it an easy choice for me. The 75 will take me farther, but it will do just as great of a job on shorter trips.

The pack has a lot of adjustment options. I found it was very easy to adjust and extremely comfortable. I always felt balanced with the pack on. It didn't feel too hot either, which was a plus. I didn't end up having the hip belt molded, but I found it was very supportive and comfortable throughout the trip.

I removed the lid and used it as a lumbar pack several times. It was easy to take off, comfortable to carry, and easy to put back on. The lid is actually quite roomy as a lumbar day pack. I was surprised by how much it held.

I ended up carrying two 2 liter platypus bladders rather than a single larger unit. This worked out great; they both fit in the pack's hydration sleeve, and I was able to run the hoses out of the dual ports included for this purpose. I didn't go for the Osprey hydration bladder b/c it was heavy and I was concerned it would be way too hot. Even in the desert, my water bladders did not get too hot. I think the molded foam on the pack did an excellent job of allowing air to circulate, which kept my back & the water cool.

The straps designed to stash hiking poles are a wonderful addition to the pack. I used them several times to scramble in a few spots and they worked perfectly.

Pretty much every pocket, strap and zipper is in exactly the right place. It's easy to load and easy to unload. You can get everything you need into the most convenient place so it's right where you want it at the end of your hike. I love this pack and I'm planning to have it for a lot of years and a lot of miles.

Comments about Osprey Ariel 75 Pack - Women's:

I recently went on a 4 day backpacking trip to Kesugi Ridge in Denali State Park. This was my first time using this pack and I sincerely enjoyed its comfort and large capacity. The pack is breathable and sits nicely for hours of hiking. I would highly recommend this pack for its comfort, lightweight, great amount of space, and wonderful looks.
