Aether 65L

Start cheap, see if you even enjoy it. If you do, shop around for what's comfortable for you. That being said, I have been very happy with Osprey Aether 65L. I've used it on several 12 hour events that often involve rucking with 100# or more.

I use an Aether 65L for everything. Big enough for trips to Europe etc, but small enough I can use it for a weekend bag. If anything, I would go down to a 55L which would still be enough bag for most occasions. Or you get a 65-70L hyperlite that rolls down into a 40L basically when not full. Go get

I’ll look into the bidet bottle camp. I like my basic hygiene haha. Yes the Aether Plus 70 in L/XL is a heavier/rugged pack with a built in daypack. He also has the Aether 65 in L/XL but that’s still 2.25kg. We love Osprey in this house. Multitool is for fishing yes, we always end up at lakes with e

Other stuff like a propane burner, cooking stuff, trekking poles, hygiene stuff (look for "travel size" stuff) and sleeping mattress don't need to be super expensive to

If you think the atmos 65L is heavy then you're cooked. I've carried 5.11, Tasmanian Tiger, Osprey, Kelty, Mystery Ranch and some others. Osprey is by far one of the lightest most comfortable packs ive ever owned. I had the aether 65. Routinely carried upwards of 50+ pounds no problem. If you're hav

Im so jealus of that color. When i got my osprey, they only had the aether 65 in green.

I'm not sure what the military uses, but I've been rucking for over a decade with an Osprey Aether 65l. Heaviest I've loaded it was a pinch over 100lbs, mostly with sandbags. I go a bit old school and rely a lot on the the hip belt, so the weight is better distributed, and I can go farther, faster,
