Ideal for a week on the trail or a gear-intensive weekend, the Aether 65 is a customizable, perfect-fitting pack that has the ability to carry larger and heavier loads. Featuring an adjustable torso and Custom Fit-on-the-Fly™ Shoulder Straps and Hipbelt to calibrate the perfect fit. An injection-molded AirScape™ backpanel delivers fine-tuned performance. Made with high-quality bluesign®-approved nylon and PFC-free DWR. Raincover included.

Custom fit
A Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt, Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Shoulder Strap and adjustable torso length allow for a fine-tuned fit for a variety of body shapes and sizes.

Airscape suspension
An injection-molded, die-cut foam AirScapeTM backpanel creates a breathable, close-to-body fit.

Load capacity
Designed to provide a stable close-to-body carry; ideal for managing heavier loads when the trail gets technical.

Sustainable materials
Constructed with high-quality bluesign®-approved nylon and PFC-free DWR.

Airscape Backpanel
Injection-molded, die-cut foam AirScape™ framesheet maintains comfortable back contact with ventilated airflow channels and maximum stability for carrying heavy loads. Mesh-covered foam lumbar for supportive, lightweight and comfortable contact surfaces.

Custom fit-on-the-fly shoulder strap
Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Shoulder Straps allow for a precise shoulder wrap and fit. Spacer mesh fabric provides a soft and comfortable contact surface.

Custom fit-on-the-fly hipbelt
Incremental length and angle adjustments allow for a fine-tuned fit. Extendible Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt offers a precise fit for varying waist sizes. Crossbody ErgoPull hipbelt pulls weight into lumbar when hipbelt is tightened.

Enhanced load transfer
The Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt integrates the LightWire frame into the adjustment system—creating a better distribution of weight and, in turn, a better carry.
