New custom-moulded backpack from Osprey
American backpack company Osprey has launched the Aether (men’s) and Ariel (women’s) pack ranges. Both offer hip belts that can be custom moulded using the Custom Moulding oven, a fitting service that is available at all the company’s retail outlets.
The new ranges have been designed for backpacking and are lightweight but able to carry heavy loads. The Aether series ranges in size from the 85 [litre capacity] to 70 and 60. The Ariel 65 is the largest in the women’s series, which also includes a lighter Ariel 55.
Pack features include AirScape suspension for back ventilation, a stretch woven front pocket, dual entry stretch woven side pockets, sleeping pad straps, and an internal backpanel hydration sleeve with dual exit ports.
