Know before you buy
The Anti-Gravity system uses a continuous panel of lightweight mesh that extends from the top of the back panel to the hip belt. This design suspends the pack away from your back, which improves ventilation and makes the load feel significantly lighter by distributing weight evenly across your body.
A 50-liter capacity is generally ideal for multi-day trips lasting three to five days, depending on your gear volume. If you are an ultralight packer, you could certainly stretch this to a week, but it may be tight if you are carrying bulky winter gear or extra equipment.
The Aura AG is engineered with a shorter torso length and a harness shape that better accommodates a woman's shoulders and chest. The hip belt is also contoured specifically to fit the female anatomy, ensuring the weight sits comfortably on the hips rather than the lower back.
Yes, the pack features multiple external pockets, including side stretch-mesh pockets and a front shove-it pocket. These are designed for quick access to essentials like water bottles, rain shells, or snacks without needing to dig through the main storage area.
The pack is constructed from high-quality, abrasion-resistant nylon designed to handle the friction and snagging common on backcountry trails. While it is durable, it is still a lightweight backpacking pack, so it is best to avoid dragging it over sharp rock faces or through dense, thorny brush.
