Well built and very comfortable
Likes
Plenty of room and the detachable lid/day pack is a very welcome plus. Fits nice and distributes the weight well so the pack doesn’t feel heavy at all. I’m very happy with my purchase. Well worth the money.

comfort and versatility
Likes
I like the detachable top lid, and the ability to attach a daylite pack for extra capacity. I will be using this pack for Aconcagua, with the daylite attached, then dropping the daylite for multi-day trips through out Argentina.

Bigger is better
Likes
I bought this over the Aether 70 because its weight is so close to the same and the added space is very nice to have. You cant make the pack bigger but you can make it smaller with compression straps.
Dislikes
I wish it was a little taller and less wide.

So many features! Love the J zip.

NONE REALLY. Sometimes I have a hard time zipping hip belt pocket with one hand.

Everything i wanted and more!

Just feels like a quality product. You can tell when you strap this thing on your back that you got your moneys worth. I cant see it ever failing in any way but if it does, the warranty is worth buying an Osprey.
Dislikes
If i had to pick something, I would say that it isn't waterproof. It's a bit heavy too, but that is expected at 85L.

Light Comfortable and Big

Love the design, the size, the comfort on the shoulders and especially the daypack that is a real backpack.

Just what I was looking for!
Likes
Extremely well built and the suspension system is pure heaven when the pack is loaded up. I'm actually having trouble loading it all the way up, gear disappears into it and there always seems more room to put something else in there. I'm 5'9", 190# with a 30" waist - the Medium fits perfectly and the hip belts from the get go are just right. I love the bottom sleeping bag compartment, and the hydration system (separate purchase) works very well. It's a good looking, streamlined pack that will comfortably carry more than I should actually put into it.
Dislikes
It should have included a pack cover, but not a deal breaker...

Finally upgraded my 20 year old LoweAlpine pack. HOLY COW this pack is amazing. I hardly know what to do with the space and my back doesn't ache the entire week!

Great backpack with lid converted to daypack
Likes
Lid converted to daypack for side trips. It is part of the lid and lightweight
Dislikes
The pack itself is rather heavy but it comes with lots of pockets and straps which allow you to carry more gear.

Very large backpack.
Likes
This is meant for some seriously long distance hiking. Super comfortable backpack.
Dislikes
The 85 was too big for me I ended up going with the 70, I'm six foot one and my size is a medium which makes a big difference from a large on how it sits on your shoulders.

Excellent Pack and Comfortable for its Size
Likes
I LOVE the colors of this pack. I'm not a fan of the bright and wild colors on some packs, but this one is fantastic. It's obviously made of great, durable material. Here are some thinks I love about the pack: - The shoulder straps are SUPER beefy - Great zippers that are easy to use - Versatility of the top lid (I love how it turns into a backpack instead of a fanny or shoulder strap) - Lots of compression straps - The anti-gravity suspension material has made a more durable upgrade from that on the Atmos AG - Internal AND external hydration sleeve - Deep, external side pockets
Dislikes
- The hip belt can feel uncomfortable before it has had a chance to break in. - The zippered waist pockets can be a little hassle to zip completely closed while wearing the pack (I have yet to find a pack where this isn't an issue though...) - It's not as comfortable and doesn't feel as supportive as the Atmos AG suspension system. It's still better than any other pack I've worn of its size though.
