From heading out into the back country hiking or hunting, to embarking on backpacking trips carrying heavier loads, this might just be the ideal pack. The Aether 65 is suitable for carrying heavier loads with it's sturdy airscape frame and lumbar support pad. The well padded shoulder straps provide soft cushioning while the hip belt provides a balance between cushion and firmness for the heavier load carries. Alongside the packs water bladder compatibility, roomy side pockets for drink bottles have two entry points making grabbing your own water a lot easier when on the move. In addition the the classic top opening tramping pack, the bag is also accessible from the bottom where you'll find a gear hammock for compartmentalising and managing weight distribution when you pack isn't full. In addition to this, behind the clips is a zip allowing you to open you bag like a suitcase for easier access to internal space. All up, a great pack for those who load up!

The Rook is great hiking pack for those wanting comfort and quality on a budget. The airspeed suspension provides great airflow and a more comfortable carry. It is worth mentioning that this frame type can be prone to swaying a little when overloaded so weight distribution and fit are important! This pack comes in one size with frame adjustments to suit a wide variety of back lengths. The pack opens at the top with the classic draw chord, and the bottom with a zip. The hip belt provides basic padding, comfort and convenient pocket storage. It has descent sized drink bottle pockets with dual point access, and is water bladder compatible. While lacking a front pocket, there are loops to string up a bungee chord for extra attachments.

Fit tip:
One size fits all
