Ideal for long-awaited weekend adventures and beyond, the Ariel Plus 60L offers a stable carry to manage heavy loads. A customizable Fit-On-The-Fly hipbelt and shoulder straps allow you to calibrate a fine-tuned fit, likely the most underrated and yet most important of backpack features. Add to that a huge volume with a stable, close-to-body carry, and that ideal fit becomes even more important for managing heavier loads.

The durable Ariel Plus 60L is also loaded with thoughtful features. Getting into the pack is as easy as ever with access from the bottom, the top, and a large front panel zip. Loops abound, for ice axes and trekking poles, while an internal hydration reservoir sleeve gives you quick access to good old live saving effluvium. And if you're hankering for a quick side excursion once you've set up camp, the Aether's removable top lid converts into a DayLid daypack.

And just to spoil you, Osprey tosses in a raincover, gratis.
