Thank you for this. I find the waist straps so aggressively turned in that it's difficult to put on the pack. Did you have this issue as well?

[@michelecallan1034]

Love all your backpack reviews, they are very informative and I specifically look for yours when looking for any info. :)

[@Enwild]

Glad you like them!

[@Eikosiepta_]

Thank you for replying to my questions. I’m in the process of recovery of chronic stress that’s impacting shoulders and hips. This being said, I’m now torn between Aura AG 50 LT and Aura AG 50. And to me, this is a one-time investment. What would you suggest?

[@giuliafra1]

Thanks to your reviews I actually understand a lot than in store.I went in Cotswold in London and asked advice regarding an Osprey...I didn't have limited budget they sold me a Kyte 66... After having watch all your reviews, I will go back to another shop and try this backpack again ( because I think they did not fit it on me properly) and the Ariel 65 and Ariel plus

[@annettej8526]

Wow!!! feeling even better after buying this online, Fantastic review

[@marilyneverschueren]

Hi I love your reviews ! I'm hesitating between the Aura AG 65 and the Ariel AG 65. What do you think I should buy ? I'm going backpacking in Asia for 3 months. Thank you !

[@Enwild]

Hey, tough question! The packs are pretty similar and both feature Osprey's Anti-Gravity system. That said, the Aura AG 65 is the lighter weight pack and probably more approachable all-around. The Ariel Ag 65 could prove more supportive if you plan on carrying a heavier pack load over long distances. Otherwise, the Aura AG 65 seems like the better choice for your trip. Have fun!

[@GenVictoria]

@@Enwild I was just considering the same two packs! The weight of the actual pack was I didn't consider so thanks so much you helped me make a decision!

[@cindyshayana5227]

Can i take the aura ag 65 as hand packing at flight?

[@Enwild]

At 33" x 15" x 16", it's likely a little too large for carry on. Osprey makes some awesome travel luggage though! Check them out here: tinyurl.com/2apfabup

[@elizabethcastillo1158]

This bag has changed considerably since this video was made. The sleeping bag zipper is short and it's difficult to get a bag through it. The side compression straps attach to the pockets on the hip belt. What's that about? It is almost impossible to get the pack on without setting it on a high table. The hip belt folds inward and if you put the shoulder straps on and lift the pack then you have to try to unwedge the hip belt from behind you and under the full weight of the pack. Getting the water bottles out of the side pockets requires a friend. And, of course, too bad about the brain not becoming a daypack when needed.

[@Paul-eu9jp]

Great review thanks. Just bought this pack for my girlfriend

[@litodevilangel00]

I have this pack and a 16.5” torso and I’m having a hard time adjusting the torso. How were you able to adjust it with such ease? Are there any tricks?

[@Enwild]

Hi Sarahanne! We made a video for just this occasion! You can find How to Adjust the Osprey Aura AG Packs here: www.enwild.com/videos/how-to-adjust-the-osprey-aura-ag-packs

Hey, thanx for the review!! I want to buy one, but I have to decide for a small or medium! Which one is this/are you using? thanx :)

Hi Jimmy, Becky is demonstrating a size Small, and she has a 16.5" torso. Thanks for watching, feel free to give us a ring if we can help: www.backcountryedge.com/customer-support/

Thanx!!

[@jackpumkinhead9583]

I have the atmos, these packs are a beast and are great for standard backpacking trips but are too heavy for thru hiking ! It’s 4lbs get a 2lb pack trust me your back will thank you 🙏

[@MM-te9nj]

I just purchased this pack yesterday & did not realize it was 4Ibs! What do you reccomend?

[@Enwild]

@@MM-te9nj The Exos 48 is a good go-to for a lighter pack (about 2.5lbs): kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2WaY62NfbKrg5Y&lc=Ugxis-5GnuO4bxbo6Cl4AaABAg?.com&U472zWHMxM4 . Lighter packs can be great, but 2lb packs typically offer minimal support, making it important to pay attention to max load recommendations. Happy Trails!

[@marialaurafont5754]

Nice review! Does the Aura pack has a removable top that converts into a smaller day pack? Like the Ariel pack has, with the extendable straps. Thanks!

[@Enwild]

Thank you! The convertible DayLid top is unique to the Ariel pack. The lid of the Aura is removable, but it does not convert into the day pack. Thanks for watching!

[@001zeal]

Hi, I am choosing between the Aura 65 and the Deuter Aircontact 60+10 SL. Both seem like great packs with compabale weights. Would you have ay tips for choosing one over the other?

[@Enwild]

Thanks for your question! Both are great options to consider! The Aura will feel more cushioned and responsive around its hip belt area. The tensioned back panel of the Aura wraps around your hips creating a secure and comfortable fit. While the Aircontact back system keeps the weight close to the body, and a conical shaped hip belt that will provide a proper anatomical fit for wider hips. Feel free to call or email if you're still on the fence!

[@jennwatson6836]

I too am debating between the ariel ag 65 or the aura ag 65. They are about a 1 difference in weight it looks like. How is the sleeping bag/bottom compartment different on the two? At first I thought I wanted the ariel because of the daypack option of the lid. But I can buy a smaller stuff pack for that instead. So looking at the weight difference and the compartment on the bottom difference. TIA. Like your watch and band!

[@Enwild]

Hi Jenn! The main difference between the Ariel and Aura is the AG suspension. The Aura has a continuous mesh suspension that wraps around the body. This has a breezy nature, though some have found it doesn't suit all body types. The Ariel features Osprey's AirScape injection-molded framesheet, which is more firm and structured, along with the Fit-on-the-Fly components to fit a range of users. Most other features- the sleeping bag compartment (both can be disconnected to create a singular internal compartment), external pockets, etc. are pretty similar.

[@joanainacio88]

Wonderful review! Between this pack and the kyte 66 for an interrail trip, which one would you recommend?

[@Enwild]

Hi Joanna! Either pack will work, but the Kyte's design and organization could make it better for travel. Have a great trip!

[@joanainacio88]

Thank you for such quick reply! :)

[@massif_]

hi Becky, can you recommended me a good light weight tent for two people. thanks in advance

[@Enwild]

Hi! Thanks for watching! A lot of hikers find they like (or sometimes need) the extra space offered by 3 person tents if 2 people will be using it. I've listed 3 person tents but you'll find some other suggestions below these: NEMO Dagger 3P: www.backcountryedge.com/nemo-dagger-3p-2019.html?.com&U472zWHMxM4 Copper Spur HV UL 3: www.backcountryedge.com/big-agnes-copper-spur-hv-ul-3.html?.com&U472zWHMxM4 MSR Mutha Hubba NX: www.backcountryedge.com/msr-mutha-hubba-nx-2016.html?.com&U472zWHMxM4 If you want something that is listed as 2P (which is smaller than any of the tents above), check out the NEMO Hornet 2P and the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL 2, and the MSR Hubba Hubba NX. Weights and specs are all listed on the site. Good luck with your search!

[@monika96silva]

Hi! Thanks for your amazing video. I'm considering on buying between a Osprey Aura Ag 65 Challenger or a Osprey Fairview Trek 70.I wanna use it for travelling and hiking trips. What would you reccomend?

[@Enwild]

The Trek is designed to function for both travel and hiking. But if you think you'll do more hiking than travel, the Aura has the AG suspension system which is a cushy ride!

[@monika96silva]

@@Enwild thanks!

[@martajarodzka8325]

Hi Becky, I need an advise . Ariel AG 65 or Aura AG 65??? I dont know witch one to choose.

[@Enwild]

Hi Marta! Not Becky, but they are very similar packs and you really can't go wrong with either. Each back has a suspended mesh backpanel, but they do use different hipbelts. The Ariel AG 65 features a custom moldable hipbelt that will adjust to the wearer's shape over time. The fit will be more firm than the Aura AG 65, which will feel more cushioned and responsive around its hipbelt area. The Ariel also offers a few more features like a sleeping bag compartment, ice tool/gear attachment loops, and secondary main compartment access. Feel free to call or email if you're still on the fence!

[@martajarodzka8325]

Thanks for answer. I’m from europe. Have to find local store.

[@josel5767]

What’s the best backpack for a month travel, i just bought the Renn 65 but I think it’s small. What do you recommend? Would be a better option the AG 65 or the Fairview Trek 70? Help I’m so confused! 😅

[@Enwild]

Thanks for asking! The numbers in the names (65 and 70) refer to the pack's capacity in liters, so the Aura 65 would hold roughly the same amount as the Renn 65, and close to that of the Fairview 70. If you feel 65 is too small, we'd recommend looking at a pack with a higher capacity liters.

[@rachaelchilders6379]

I have taken this pack twice now on shorter trips. I love it! However, it has developed a squeak, I’m thinking from the frame. Any suggestions on how to fix the squeaking?

[@Enwild]

In some cases, that can come from the pack material rubbing against the frame. We'd recommend checking all the adjustment points to ensure that the pack is even and balanced, and that it isn't pulling in a specific direction which could cause uneven movement and/or that rubbing. If that doesn't help, we'd recommend contacting Osprey for more detailed recommendations. Thanks for watching!

[@AlbinoCigarettes]

Does it come with a raincover or is it sold separately?

[@Enwild]

Good question! This pack does not come with a raincover. A large of this will work great though: www.backcountryedge.com/osprey-ultralight-raincover-2015.html?.com&U472zWHMxM4

[@susilabhandari3300]

Do you think this is a good pack for a 6 month of backpacking across Southeast Asia??

[@Enwild]

Hi! This pack would certainly be a good option, but it would also be helpful to consider the amount of items you are bringing and the amount of space you will need!

[@henrikecastle7139]

Is there an opportunity to convert the upper compartment into a daypack? I just saw that the Ariel 65l can do so...

[@Enwild]

Thanks for asking! The Daylid is a features of the Ariel AG, but not the Aura.

[@amandadarby6005]

Is this a good backpack for using as a carry on luggage?

[@Enwild]

At 33" x 15" x 16", it's likely a little too large for carry on. Osprey makes some awesome travel luggage though! Check them out here: bit.ly/39gBa6s

[@haniskhalid7614]

hi, is the detachable top lid can be used as day pack as well like the ariel model?

[@Enwild]

Hello, unfortunately the detachable top lid is not designed to work as a day pack, like it is on the Ariel.

[@cagrdemir3914]

Can i use this as a man?

[@Enwild]

If the pack feels comfortable, definitely! As a women's specific pack, the Aura will have a shorter torso size than the Atmos, as well as a different fit for its hipbelt and harness.

[@cindyduong5384]

Does this have a rain cover

[@Enwild]

Thanks for asking! While this version of the Aura AG 65 does not include a raincover, the updated version does! Check out the newer version here: www.enwild.com/osprey-aura-ag-65-womens-2022.html

Hello! The maximum weight for the Aura AG 65 is 50 pounds

[@tiannoser1369]

better Aura 65 Ag or Atmos 65 Ag tnx before

[@wedianhendra459]

@@Enwild is there any big differences between the women and men version?

[@Enwild]

Women's specific packs tend to be narrower through the back and shoulders, and the components are countoured to fit the female frame. They are also available in smaller sizes

I must be the only person that needs more cues on how to adjust the back. I can’t tell what you are doing with your hands when you easily adjust it. Sorry

I’m only 4’11 and looking for a perfect backpack I can travel with frequently internationally and domestically with medium to large load of clothes and some other essentials. Trying to decide between the aura 65/75 or Ariel 65/75 AG!! Please help

[@Enwild]

Hello and thank you for watching! The main way to figure out what size pack would work for your height would be to measure from your Iliac crest (the vertebrae that sticks out when you lean your head down at the back of your neck) to the top of your hips. This measurement will help you to figure out what size pack would be best for you!

[@TheNNguyener96]

Hmm is the 65 as big as a check in bag or a carry on size? I have no idea how much 65 l can carry

[@Enwild]

@@TheNNguyener96 Many airlines have different carry on restrictions. Here's a handy guide to figure out what size carry on your particular airline would allow: travel-made-simple.com/carry-on-size-chart/

The backpack looks great, but the colors in the women's version are ugly, the men's version is nicer.
