Osprey Ariel Plus 85 Women's Backpacking Pack

Everything about this oversized backpack was well thought out! Great should padding, a chest strap that is designed for women, well balanced for long hikes. There is ample room to pack for a 4 plus day hike. The water bladder is easily accessible, as it is placed outside of the pack. The shoulder and chest straps can easily be adjusted when the pack is on. Nothing negative on this backpack, well done Osprey!

Let me start by saying I’m normally an ultralight backpacker, but with winter I need to carry a lot more gear and so I bought this. It has all the bells and whistles which I wish I could take off a few that I don’t need so one star off for that and the weight. Other than that, it’s a very comfortable pack and is the largest women’s pack Osprey has. I love their lifetime warranty and the bright red is good for hunting season. Easy to access, stretchy side pockets for water. If you’re deciding between the 75 and 85 L then it’s just a little more weight for a lot more space.

The size and capacity of it is wonderful. This Osprey Ariel Plus 85 L backpack is an amazing quality product. So comfortable and roomy, plenty of pockets and space, includes DayLid daypack. Light weight and very sturdy as well. I love this backpack, highly recommend.

This is a very nice bag that I like a lot except for the side pockets. The compression straps cut right across the pockets so if you are in and out of the pockets while you're hiking, you are constantly fiddling with the straps or just ignoring them entirely. I use water bottles and I also like to keep my stove fuel outside of my main compartment, so my prefect backpack has bottle friendly side pockets, unencumbered by compression straps. Sure, carrying liquid on the sides widens the load and makes me a bit less agile, but that's been my preferred MO since the 1970s. If you're like me then you'll want to find a different pack.Beyond the side pocket issue, I would note that this very large capacity bag weighs in at a hefty 6.08 lbs. Make sure you really need that kind of capacity because it is a pound or two heavier than medium capacity backpacks. Some of that weight probably comes from the added pockets and zippers on the front panel as well as the detachable daylid (backpack built into the lid).The quality of the build (sewing and fabric strength) and the ease of access are great. I find that the sleeping bag compartment requires a fairly compressible bag because the lower part of the internal frame intrudes a lot into the compartment. The fabric and strap colors are great, maybe the best of the Osprey line.The Ariel line is women specific. I strongly recommend that you try the backpack on in person because some women find the equivalent men's backpacks (the Aether line) to be a better fit. The difference between the two, as best as I can tell, is in a shorter torso (distance from the hip belt to the top of the shoulders) and shorter shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are also not as wide (individually) and I'd say, not as comfy. Your mileage will vary so it's important you give it a test ride in the store.

Perfekt zum Backpacken, es hat verdammt viel Platz, viele Fächer, wasserdicht mit nd super dass der Deckel als Rucksack funktioniert, nur etwas kompliziert herauszufinden wie.
