The Osprey Ariel 55 is a women's-specific backpacking pack built around a fine-tuned fit for a variety of body shapes and sizes. A Custom Fit-on-the-Fly hipbelt and shoulder straps, plus adjustable torso length, let the pack be dialed in precisely, while the injection-molded AirScape backpanel keeps contact close to the body with ventilated airflow channels for stability under heavier loads.

Carrying details include a floating top lid with lash points, a large front panel zip access to the main compartment, dual-access stretch mesh side pockets, dual zippered hipbelt pockets, and a zippered sleeping bag compartment with a removable divider. The pack is made with bluesign APPROVED nylon and a PFC-free DWR finish, and a raincover is included.
