User Review: Osprey Ariel 65

Summary

Great pack—good quality, comfort, and storage.

This pack is great for extended trips and multi-day hikes. It is sometimes difficult to adjust all the straps, but when I get them to fit right it's quite comfortable. There's ample storage space in many different pockets.

If I could make one improvement, it would be for a front zipper so that I could get at clothes/gear packed near the bottom without taking everything out/destroying my perfect packing job from the top.

I've had this pack for a few years now and taken it on many trips—still looks like new! It's very durable, and I don't expect to have to buy a new one anytime soon; if I did, it would definitely be an Osprey.
