The two composite rods run down each side of the back panel, ending where the hipbelt and shoulder harness stabilizers attach to the pack. The frame of the Aether 60 combines two composite rods with an exceptional pack compression system to create a rigid frame for loads up to 35 to 40 pounds (16 – 18 kg).

The versatility and durability of the Aether 60 is excessive for those whose pursuit is simply lightweight trail hiking. It can carry skis, snowshoes, snowboards, ice axes, climbing ropes, kitchen sinks, and other necessary backcountry gear (many of these items can be carried simultaneously). The Aether 60 can handle loads approaching 40 pounds (18 kg) although there was some discomfort in the hipbelt with the heavier loads. The Aether 60 makes its mark by providing a feature-rich, durable, 3,700 cubic inch (61 L) pack which weighs 56.6 oz (1.6 kg).
It is a great stepping-stone for backpackers who are transitioning to lighter loads. Osprey’s Aether 60 has rightfully become a favorite backpack among many lightweight enthusiasts even though there are lighter alternatives.
