Know before you buy
The AntiGravity system uses a continuous panel of lightweight mesh that extends from the top of the backpanel to the hipbelt. This design contours to your body, providing excellent ventilation and distributing weight so effectively that the pack feels significantly lighter than it actually is.
Yes, the Fit-on-the-Fly system allows you to adjust both the harness and hipbelt length while on the trail. This ensures you can achieve a precise, personalized fit as your layering needs change throughout your hike.
The pack is designed for a recommended load range of 30 to 40 pounds. While the suspension system is highly capable, staying within this weight range will ensure the most comfortable carry and prevent the pack from feeling unstable.
You can access the bottom of the pack through a dedicated zippered sleeping bag compartment that includes a removable divider. Additionally, the curved side zip access allows you to reach items in the main body of the pack without having to open the top lid.
The Aura AG 65 comes with an integrated raincover included. It is designed to stow away easily when not in use, providing immediate protection during unexpected weather.
Yes, the pack is hydration compatible. It features an internal sleeve designed to hold a reservoir, along with routing ports for the drinking tube.
