Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The award-winning and critically-acclaimed Aether 75 epitomizes perfect functionality for backpacking and light mountaineering. It's the right size for extended summer trail outings and well-equipped winter weekend scrambles. At the core of the design is the award-winning Ethereal Suspension system, a pairing of peripheral fiberglass stays attached to double hip compressors and an anatomically-contoured lumbar hipbelt. The load lifters flex the pack weight toward your back while the center 3/4-length framesheet curves and supports the load, resulting in improved control and more comfort than conventional suspension designs. Other favorite features include a hydration pouch-ready top lid that converts to a fanny pack for day hikes and a lower sleeping bag compartment with divider. The Aether 75 is fully Excessories compatible so you can add modular components like a crampon pouch or a shovel pocket. It's tough to find fault with this well-designed pack, but the one downside might be availability--last year the Aether 75 disappeared from shelves faster than the snow melted in the summer high country. Get yours now or suffer another season of shouldering a second-best alternative."

From Moosejaw:
"The Aether 75 Pack by Osprey is designed to carry light and go fast in the backcountry. Whether winding your way through the Wind River range or making a quick summit attempt in the North Cascades, the Aether 75 helps you shave the weight.The total suspension weight of only 9.3 ounces belies the carry of these packs. However, we haven't skimped on details or durability. It's just not worth it to save a few ounces. We believe that you'll use far less energy and avoid a great deal of frustration carrying a pack with a real suspension and strong materials. The Ethereal suspension consists of dual-peripheral 3/16in. fiberglass stays. Double hip compressors anchor the struts to a pass-through lumbar hipbelt, while the harness load lifters flex the load snugly against your back. Meanwhile, the 3/4-length framesheet with 1/2in. stay helps support the load and keeps the backpanel curved to your shape and not barreled. The result is a comfortable and tireless carry.The available Isoform Harness and Hipbelt system is made in gender-specific sizes and cuts, these harnesses and hipbelts offer sizing versatility in a simplified and lighter version. The IsoForm harness is laminated dual-density foam for extra comfort and fit. Our tried and tested hook and loop adjustment allows up to 3in. of variance in each torso size. The IsoForm hipbelt is a 3D dual-density foam design anatomically contoured to a variety of shapes and sizes. Dual hip compressors anchor the hipbelt to the rod sleeves, ensuring excellent weight transfer and a comfortable ride. Top pockets on the Aether and Ariel 90 and 75 convert to a versatile fanny pack using the IsoForm hipbelt. The unique cross-compression design allows a stable carry with no bounce.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Osprey Aether 75 is so light for its capacity and level of support that you just might catch the horizon on your hiking or light mountaineering trip."

From REI:
"Osprey's weight-conscious pack doesn't sacrifice fit or comfort, with an impressive load transfer to hips saving your back and shoulders. Top-loading pack shaves weight with its lightweight yet tough 210-denier high-tenacity double-ripstop nylon construction. Lightweight Ethereal Suspension consists of HDPE (high density polyethylene) framesheet, single removable composite stay and dual composite struts. Running down the sidewall, composite struts anchor to load lifters and hipbelt actively transferring load and resisting sag. Load-lifter straps act with struts and framesheet to draw load snug against your back for increased control and stability. Providing superior load support is the removable IsoForm hipbelt, a 3D dual-density foam contoured and anatomically shaped. ErgoPull hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom, not through the center, relieving hipbone pressure. Interchangeable, laminated double density IsoForm harness adjusts easily to fit a variety of sizes. Dual side mesh pockets keep essentials easily accessible plus a built-in front mesh pocket accepts Excessories for added capacity. Hydration-capable lid pocket converts to a fanny pack with hidden hipbelt plus features compression straps for lashing on day-tripping gear. StraightJacket compression wings allows you to securely compress the contents of the pack whether full or nearly empty, without sag or load distortion. Wings buckle across the front when full; for smaller loads connect straps to buckles at the edge of the backpanel, cinching one panel over the other. Externally accessible bottom compartment accommodates all types of sleeping bags. Rounding out this full-featured pack is D3 Spacer Mesh on backpanel promoting airflow and moisture wicking during warm weather and intense activity."
