Aether AG 70

The journey is your reward. Having once graced the cover of the legendary Time Magazine, Aether AG now takes a big step forward to make your journey even more rewarding.

Aether AG is designed for multi-day backpacking and carrying significant loads. The backsystem combines the comfort and ventilation of Osprey's multi-award-winning AG AntiGravity™ backsystem with the custom-mouldable fit of Osprey's next generation IsoForm™ hipbelt. A sprung mesh lumbar area, combined with stiff load bars integrated into the harness allows for impressive load transfer through the large muscle groups in the legs, enabling an even and comfortable backpacking experience.

Organisation and accessibility are key during long adventures. These packs stand out with multiple access points including the J-Zip front panel access into the body of the pack, as well as sleeping back compartment with wide zip entry an internal divider. The lid not only has multiple pockets but is also removable, offering great versatility. The top of the pack remains protected without the lid thanks to the deployable FlapJacket™ top cover.

An integrated rain cover, Stow-on-the-Go™ trekking pole attachment, InsideOut™ compression straps and multiple attachment points allow you to carry your gear any way you like. Aether AG 70's capacity allows for plenty of gear to be carried with ease on extended trips.

Aether AG provides uncompromising comfort, ventilation and stability for your multi-day adventures.

As an essential feature for Europe, this pack is supplied with a raincover instead of the DayLid.

Comfortable and durable.
The most comfortable pack I've ever had. It sits perfect on hips even for long trips. Hip belt is great, keeps pack on its place even if unbuckled (not a good idea of course to have it like that all the time, but it's great to unlock the buckle and still have this bit of time to take pack of the back instead of this instant feeling of heavy weight on arms or falling pack on the ground once the buckle is opened). Olive colour is great bonus for wildcamping. If I'd change anything it would be stripes closing backpack, those goes a bit too much on the side I believe, could be more to the centre of the pack. Hence olive colour is available, would be perfect to have it with olive or dark grey rain cover as standard). Anyway, great stuff and best I've had ever since. Thank you!
Joachim
Very good backpack with two small design issues.
I have the European version of the backpack with the rain cover. The rain cover is the first design issue I would like to change. The cover is on the top of the pack so you need to pull it down top to bottom. Any time you need something you need to remove the cover completely to get into the pack, meaning you backpack stand on the wet and maybe dirty ground and the whole backpack gets wet. Other backpacks have the cover at the bottom. In that case you can just remove the rein cover just from the top and the rest is still covered.
The second design detail is the closing straps. They are located fairly far on the outside, sometimes it's a bit hard to place the lid correctly on the top to cover the pack.
Besides this the backpack is very good. I used it on a 6 day skitour trip in Lappland and I was very satisfied. The backpack sits tight on the back so it's not a problem to ski. Carrying 17 to 18 kilo is no problem at all. I assume packing more than 20kg should be fine as well. Overall I'm very satisfied. Without the two issues describe above I would rate it a 5 star.

No day pack and it squeaks!
I ordered the Osprey AG 70 in early 2017 after seeing many favourable reviews by hiking and backpacking bloggers. I love the compression and the adjustability of the pack, the AG system really does feel like it make a difference in carrying heavy loads. I was disappointed to realise my pack did not come with a removable daypack, rather what i can only describe as an unwieldy bum bag, which requires you to remove the hip belt to wear properly and is just a bit of a faff really. This i feel was not made clear when buying the pack (ok i bought it from Blacks and not through Osprey). I just tend to leave the lid at home now unless going for 3/4 nights or more as its quite redundant on short trips and is just a bit of a pain on longer ones. Having become sanguine about the daypack/lid issue the pack has another issue which is highly frustrating, with every step i take the movement of the pack materiel over the frame makes an irritating squeaking noise! This may not sound like a huge problem but it is hugely irritating not only to me but my hiking buddies as well, i've even overheard people we pass en route comment on the noise! I see no mention of this issue in these reviews but have seen similar complaints elsewhere online. All that said this IS a great pack, versatile, tough and highly compressible so overall i'm pleased with my purchase. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced the 'squeak' and have any advice to offer; or if Osprey can offer any advice as I'm considering ditching this bag in favour of another non-squeaking one so I can enjoy the silence!

Hi Robbie,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Aether AG 70.

It is great to hear you have been pleased with your pack. Our Daylite Series is compatible with the Aether AG, and will attach to the front of your pack as an easy to access daypack.

Fantastic backpack!
Exactly what I need for carrying heavy loads on multi-day treks. Love that it has a rain cover and not a daypack which would be useless for hiking. Another great bag!
Yves from Switzerland
Good backpack. Especially the back ventilation is great.
Question: In the German version of the Owner Manual it is stated that size L is for back lengths of 18 - 21 inches. Isn't that a mistake? On the English, French, Spanish and Italian versions of the Owner Manual it is stated that the back lenght is 20 - 23 inches. (The same being true for M = 16 - 19 inches in the German version and 18 -21 inches in the other versions.)
Osprey Customer Service, 

Hi Yves,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Aether AG 70.

We are sorry to hear that you have found conflicting information on our Owner's Manuals. The correct torso length measurements for a size L is 20-23 inches, and 18-21 inches for the size M. We have amended our German Owner's Manual accordingly, to ensure this is correctly reflected.

Osprey Customer Service

Daypack/Lid
Thanks for the quick response. The included rain cover is definitely convenient, no question. Would it be somehow possible to buy the daypack/lid separately, and if so could you provide the proper link to it? Thanks in advance.
Osprey Customer Service, 

Hi Alex,

No problem at all.

I'm afraid this is not possible, we would have liked to have been able to source these for those interested, however, they're simply not available to purchase anywhere in Europe.

Again, we're sorry for any disappointment caused. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with, you can send us any questions you may have via our email address here.

Daypack/Lid
Hey guys. Just purchased my Aether 70 AG recently and watched a review on this pack. It mentioned that the lid of this pack could be transformed to a fully functional day pack. However, the lid on my Aether 70 AG does not provide that option, yet it was said it's included in the pack.Just wondering if that's some sort of upgrade or just simply missing on my pack :) Thanks!
Osprey Customer Service, 

Hi Alex,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Aether AG 70.

The Aether AG Series is sold in Europe with a raincover, rather than the Daylid feature offered in the USA. This decision was made following considerable research with our athletes, partners, consumers and Osprey retailers.

In Europe, featuring an integrated raincover is more important than featuring a detachable daypack. Though we appreciate that the lack of a Daylid may seem a shame for some users, we feel that it is of greater benefit to be able to offer a raincover and more affordable SRP for the many backpackers who will not use the DayLid feature.

We have ensured that this information is provided on each of the product pages for the Aether AG Series, however, we sincerely apologise for any confusion caused.

Regards,

Osprey Customer Service

Really good but information is misleading
I recently purchased an osprey aether 70 ag, and am really enjoying it, but I find some information is vague. I would like to know what size (litres) of hydration bladder it can hold. that is my only complainy. good job guys.

Bombroof and Quality
I purchased this backpack for wild camping trips throughout the UK. I tend to go overboard on things and always bring luxury items - this pack is an absolute beast. It can carry everything and more with ease. The quality of materials and construction throughout is second to none; yes it's the most expensive backpack I've ever purchased, but this thing will last a lifetime if looked after. I am 6ft tall and found the medium size fits me perfectly. The load distribution is amazing and the straps and AG system do a great job of making heavy loads bearable. This pack carried 19KG with ease on a recent trip to the Lake District. Brilliant pack and worth every penny.
Martin
Best Backpack I've ever owned
This backpack is a beast. Yes, it's the EU version with a rain cover and at first i was a bit bummed about the missing day pack that was mentioned in the reviews of the US version. But I live in Ireland and boy does that rain cover come in handy!
The pack itself is high quality and the AG System does seem to do a good job at distributing the weight of the pack down to your hips.
I'm still wondering how the product photo people managed to arrange all the straps so neatly, mine are dangling about like there is no tomorrow.

All in all, I hope the pack will serve me well in the coming years and I will be ordering a day lite pack to attach to this thing as a day pack.
cumbriancamper
just the job
ive bought this for a 40 mile 5 day trek in the cairngorms in scotland, out the box this pack is quality, the materials used are tough and the zips have large ring pulls,so even with gloves on you can get into the pack, living in the uk im very pleased that it comes with a rain cover,the pack feels really comfortable when on and the AG system fools you into thinking you are carrying less weight than you actually are,overall am very happy with my osprey aether ag 70,the lifetime guarantee does this product justice, it wont last you a lifetime but it wont fail on you in 6 months either,THE BEST RUCKSACK IVE EVER BOUGHT .

my best back pack so far
I bought my Aether 70 more then 10 years ago. It does its job excellent. Really sticks to the back without being sticky (in wet). I have used backpack almost every year and it survived airplane -(punishments) , foul weather and lots of rocks. It shows now some wear, still not enough to buy a new one :-(
This backpack is my first big pack that easily can be adjusted to carry less then its 70 liters in a comfortable way
Seb
Great, but surprise with daypack
A very good backpack.
I trekked for 3 weeks with it in India as first use, and it was very useful in all occasion. But as many european user I was disappointed to discover there's no daypack.
Maybeyou could help your customer by sending them this daypack, or offer discount on this daypack for european customer, or create something to transform 'hat' of the pack in a messenger bag or something like that.
Osprey Customer Service, 

Hi Seb,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Aether AG 70.

It is great to hear that found the Aether AG to be very useful on your recent trip.

We appreciate your feedback on the Day Pack, the decision was made to include a Raincover and not a DayLid in the European model. This pack is compatible with our Daylite range, or alternatively you could use our Stuff Pack, which condenses down to the size of an apple.

Brilliant bag - not far from perfect.
Within seconds of wearing this bag I was in love, it's literally sticks to my back and has no weight to it. The fact it has a rain cover instead of a day pack is much better in my eyes we live in Europe it rains near on everywhere all the time I can easily see why as a company you decided to go with it. Plus the fact that you can simply purchase a day lite plus bag which with ease clips straight onto the front of my Aether bag.
Kind Regards. Thanks for the bag.

Missing Daylid backpak
After seeing the review en video https://www.bever.nl I bought the back pack. Its great but I am missing the dayback. Its in the product specs, but I read a story on your site about EU vs VS?? Are these not compatible and can it be orderd? Are we paying the same price for a product with less functionality?
