Expert Opinion

While not the lightest ultralight pack on the market, Exos is definitely one of the most comfortable! With the airspeed frame providing great airflow between the bag and your back, this is a great stepping stone for those making the switch to ultralight while maintaining some of their classic gear. The classic drawstring top opening has a twist, with the ability to detach the brain for shorter trips. Quickdraw hiking pole storage and all the pockets you'd expect, It's no wonder this pack is a hot seller!

“The breathability of the harness makes it ideal for hot weather, and it lives up to its comfort claims, rivalling more heavily built packs, even with a heavy load.”

Expert Opinion

I have used the Aura AG 65 for hikes up to 8 days in the back country, and it was able to fit all my gear and food as a solo hiker. As a tall female with a very short torse, the adjustable harness and XS/S size allow me to fit the harness to have the right distribution of weight on my shoulders and hip. The anti-gravity frame and waist strap does feel snug when you first put the pack on, but it will loosen and form to your body as you use the pack. If you are looking for a bag that will fit all your gear and help take the load off your shoulders, this is the bag for you.
