Description of Osprey Packs Aura 65 Backpack - 3800-4200cu in - Women's:
Osprey concentrated on comfort and organization when they created the fully featured Women's Aura 65 Backpack. Beginning with the suspension system, Osprey used strong 10mm aluminum stays and titanium flex struts to provide plenty of support for loads up to 50lbs. The Aura 65 Backpack's ErgoPull hip-belt evenly distributes the load over your entire waist, so you don't have to suffer with pressure points. This multi-day backpack features pockets in the lid, front, sides, and on the waist-belt, to ensure you have all the space you need to keep your kit organized.
Bottom Line: You deserve to be comfortable on the trail, so treat yourself to the Osprey Aura 65 Backpack.
love the outer features-hip belt pockets, shockcord loops, outer pockets. Packed about 30 pounds and did not provide enough support through lower back. Love the airflow frame but it intrudes on inner space. Sadly I had to trade to the Osprey Ariel pack with more substantial hip belt. Would be a great pack for lightweight trips.
This is a great pack, I love the mesh back, the side compartments as well as the small hip pouches. The only problem you will find if you buy this pack is that it will be difficult to pack it at first(give it about 4 trips) due to the curvature of the back part. Compression sacks will always be your friend, One thing I have found in order to maximize space for longer trips is i put my tent on the outside straps and then my pad between the main part of the bag and the brain of the pack. Once you learn how to pack this pack it is amazing, i wont buy another pack until this mine breaks, which doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
I got the sapphire 3800cu and was excited by all the features it had to offer until I tried it on. Just trying on an empty backpack, the narrow shoulder straps was already rubbing my neck. It was the first time I've had this problem so this pack is made for skinny necks. It's an excellent pack and I wish I could keep it but having skin irritation is a no-no when hiking.
