Osprey Aether Backpacks

Types of packs

Backpacking packs can be 30 to 70-plus liters. To choose the right capacity, consider trip duration and the gear you’ll bring.

Backpack features
Think about the frame type, location of important pockets, padding and ventilation, among other things.

Backpack fit
Your pack should be correctly sized for your torso length (not overall height) and hip circumference. A fit-expert at an REI store can help.
