OSPREY Aura AG 65 Review | The BEST Hiking BACKPACK for WOMEN?

[@azclaimjumper]

I've read all the replies prior to composing the following: I'm in complete agreement with you Stina as you emphasized "comfort" instead of the weight of the backpack. When a backpack "fits" your body it will tell you so & your load is simply part of you. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

👍Absolutely 💯 /Stina

[@SiMachiavelli]

My wife has the same! She loves it too. Great video explaining all the pros and cons! Thank you.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Nice to hear! 👍

[@JohanGartner]

Fasst jag är man och har en bra ryggsäck så är det alltid kul att titta på reviews!! Den här lyckades du med Stina! Intressant och du fick med det som behövdes, bra engelska och flyt! Tack för en bra video//Johan

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Tack Johan! ❤️ /Stina

I just got in to the "ultralight" backpacking myself. It's a good thing if your able to stick whit a base wigh of no more than 6-8 kg. But if you have to cary a little heavyer load ul backpack is not the way to go. But I got from a base wigh of between 23 kg for a week long hike to just under 11 kg. But I agree with you on the point that personal comfort is a bigg thing to consider when buying a backpack. Great review Stina! Really nice to see you.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you Kristian! Agree that if you just carry a few kilos then it doesn't matter so much. /Stina

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Thanks!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you Ariane

Lovely Stina. I have the atmos and stratos ranges from osprey all of them have been great so far and super comfy.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

👍 Atmos is the men's version of this one. /Stina

[@susankaempfer8427]

I carried mine for about 1000 miles with about 16kg in it. I know there are lighter weight ones, but I love my Aura. I have the 50l version.

Great Information. Happy Holiday. Thank you for your service Matti.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Nice to hear you liked my video Nathan! /Stina

[@Z3TRA0S]

Håller med om Osprey ryggorna de är favoriterna!!! Verkligen sköna att bära 👍🌲

[@ianmacfarlane9454]

Thanks for the video,Stina👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@bingoberra18]

Should compare this to the Osprey Eja 48L and 58L, 1kg lighter if not more.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I haven't tried Eja. I wouldn't want to have an even smaller pack than the Aura 65. If I could wish something more from this pack it would be that it was a 70 liter instead. /Stina

Great video, thanks 🙏

[@ArianeZurcher212]

I have this backpack and actually found you because I was looking for a video on KZbin to help me figure out all the different features after I purchased it. And here you are! Very happy to see this video. As I just purchased this pack about three weeks ago in the US, the rain cover fits it completely covering it entirely, so maybe they’ve upgraded the rain cover since you purchased yours, but it was a relief to see that the new ones have adequate rain covers now! If you have a recommendation for the best or even a good battery pack/ solar charger for iPhones, iwatch etc I’d love to know what you suggest. I have a very heavy solar paneled charger that I took on a 4-day trek in the Andes, but the solar panel doesn’t work, at least not for me. I had it tied to the outside of my pack. Also, lightweight binoculars?! What do you guys recommend?? See you in August. I’m really looking forward to the trip you’ve created and that I’ll be joining.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Unfortunately the squirrels shewed up my backpack when stored in our shed during winter so last year I bought a new and a little bit bigger Osprey called Ariel Pro 65. /Stina

[@taracheri7]

Watching videos to figure out features on my pack. Saw this. I just bought the For Patriots solar charger . For $80 I got four of them. We took them camping last weekend and they work great. The website is a bit annoying as it tries to convince you to buy other stuff but I just skipped through it.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

@@taracheri7 thx so much. I’ll look into them. Really appreciate it.

[@domingoortegaperez4768]

a review as it should be, based on long experience instead of all these useless unboxing/review waste of time ,thanks a lot

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Glad you liked it! All our reviews are based on real experiences with the gear and we are honest and would never say a product are good if it's not. /Stina

[@jonwait]

Funny Matti did a few months ago a test on backpack and said the Osprey's ones are too soft of a frame, so it was moving a bit too much on your back.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

His model did, but this one doesn't, not at least on my body. Also there is no perfect backpack and it's very individual what you like from person to person. /Stina

[@Lisa-gp5tm]

Verkligen en bra recension! Har du någon erfarenhet av light/(LT)-versionen av denna ryggsäck? Jag har haft svårt att hitta den vanliga versionen i Sverige nämligen.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Hej Lisa! Tack, vad roligt! Jag har ingen erfarenhet av LT-versionen. Tror de kanske "strippat" bort lite fickor o liknande för att få ner vikten lite annars vet jag inte om det är någon skillnad. /Stina

[@kathrineswango]

Tried on this pack with weight and without never fit right and was uncomfortable. Love the look and pockets though.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Sorry to hear that. Fits me like a glove. But we are all different built. /Stina

[@irka1420]

I’ve bought this backpack and I’m a bit disappointed, because my head hits the framing and I can’t hold my head upright. Maybe I should have bought S size instead of M one, I don’t know...

[@LindseyNeal-h8e]

Could you please link the rain cover you use? Thank you

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The rain cover was included with my backpack but you can buy osprey rain covers separately here: geni.us/TIcQNk /Stina

[@torhilla]

Har hatt den større varianten Xena 85 i noen år nå og er helt enig i at det er den beste store ryggsekken jeg har hatt. Minus er at det er plass til mye mindre enn i min forrige 85 l sekk (!).

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Ja det har du helt rätt i. De känns ganska små i förhållande till vilken kapacitet de ska klara. /Stina

[@quaxie]

Does any one use the top for a day dav?

[@peachbrand]

Doesnt fit everyone. The suspension mesh doesnt touch my back unless I'm really hunched over, therefore all the weight pulls me back, esp going downhill. Pack loaders are as tight as possible. It's not how its packed. No point in having airy mesh to help your back breathe if it's not even lying on you. Finally met an REI employee who had the same issue. My backs going to sweat anyway, I'd like to not have my pack pull me backwards. Wish the hip belts were shorter too.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It doesn't exist a backpack that's fits everyone. We're all built differently. But if the you feel the backpack pulls you back I think you should try to pack it differently. It's very important to pack correct. It can make a big difference, also that could be the reason the mesh doesn't touch your back. /Stina

I’ll have to show my wife this video 👍🏽
