Buy on Osprey

The Osprey Aether Plus 85 is a men's backpacking pack built for heavy loads on technical trails, with a stronger LightWire frame and an AirScape backpanel that keeps the carry stable and close to the body. Its Custom Fit-on-the-Fly hipbelt and shoulder strap, plus adjustable torso length, let you fine-tune the fit to your own shape and waist size.

The removable top lid converts into a DayLid daypack for side trips, and the pack ships with a raincover made from PFC-free DWR and bluesign-approved materials. A large front panel zip opens the main compartment, while dual front zippered pockets, stretch mesh side bottle pockets, a sleeping bag compartment with removable divider, and Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment keep gear organized and within reach.
