    Ended up going with the Aether 70
    Found one used in perfect condition I couldn’t pass up on. The way I look at it, if I do decide to sell, I won’t be losing too much since I didn’t overpay by any...

    I’m trying to decide on a new Volt 75 for $150 or a used (condition looks fine) Aether 70 for $170

    From what I am reading, the Aether 70 is worth the extra $20 and it seems the Aether has a bit...

    Seems exactly the same as the Aether 75, minutes the AG system and a few pockets. The reviews on REI are pretty decent on the Volt as well.

    What confuses me is the Volt is 75L (33x14x14) while...
  4. To those who have used the Osprey Aether and Volt

    How comparable was the comfort on both? Most of the reviews I’m finding on the Aether are great, but I can’t find too many of them on the Volt.

    I found the Volt for a fabulous deal and seems to be...

    Again, thanks for all the info. I most likely will be keeping my pack but need to look for a smaller footprint tent and sleeping pad.

    Forgot to add my sleeping bag is a Rovor Buhl. Just over 2 pounds and compresses decently (less than a foot Lon with 7 diameter)

    Fits in the bottom of the pack just fine.

    Think my real concern...

    Well what can I say, I’m pretty darn new to the whole backpack camping. So far my trips have been along the lines of 2 nighters in the UP of Michigan on very budget gear (borrowed pack, Walmart tent,...

    Beginner pack. 70-80 size

    Looking to purchase a pack for the basic "weekend warrior" backpack camper.

    Some I know get the 80$ packs on amazon but figured I'd try my luck on a used-quality pack.
