 Test his test his bundas bundas Liga Liga one two three Now then I'm not gonna fart about I'm just gonna get straight into it because as the title may suggest We're here to nerd out about this bag, and that's all we're here for we're gonna put our nerd gigs on And we're gonna delve into this bag mate. So if you're not into watching Someone talk about a bag for I know it's probably gonna about 15 20 minutes if I'm honest Then this video ain't for you mate But if you're here to look at this bag then welcome because we're gonna nerd out big time the Osprey Aether 70 AG It is an absolute Beast of a thing mate. It's an absolute beast of a thing and a few people have asked me if I would do a review on this So I'm doing it. I'm doing it I've used it enough now to do a comprehensive review and give my honest opinion on it And also I just wanted to run through a few features that if you own this bag you might not know about so Let's get into it So we're gonna start off. I mean the materials and everything it's got it's It is nylon the lead, but it's got it's in There's thicker material on the bottom for when you're putting it down I'll put a link below for this particular bag. So if you want to buy it or check out the The weights and the materials and everything you can have a look at that I'm just going to run through a few feature features of it and let you have a little look at the Straps and the internals and stuff like that. So what makes this a Quality bag is this the anti-gravity system on the back Which is basically? It feels like it's floating when it's on you. It takes all the weight into the hips and these hips are made From a material which will eventually with the heat of your body It'll adhere to your to your your shape So if it's uncomfortable at first or if it's rubbing just bear with it It will it will conform to your shape I believe the Osprey have like a heating thing where they will heat the Heat the pads and you can sit it on you and it'll it'll do it a lot quicker But just give it time and it will adhere to your shape It the anti-gravity system It is done by Velcro. There's a huge Velcro pad there which you can then You can lift it up and down and then put it back on and use these straps here To lift or lower each side. It's just a case of putting it on your back Jiggling around with it and having a little play to see what's what suits you what's most comfortable for you and It keeps the whole thing keeps it off your back It keeps that you see your back's not sweating. It's got this mesh which extends to the hip as well If you can see when that's pulled out this hip. I mean, it's so tight Yeah, you don't even need to fasten it at times. It's just just sits perfectly tight You can just carry a lot of weight in it comfortably and the reason I've got this bag It was through winter and whatnot like I normally use my 48 liter, but 70 litre is when I'm taking all my camera equipment You know food and you a bigger tent you want to just have a little bit more of a luxurious camp and you're not doing Multi-day hikes and this is the perfect bag Perfect bag for a one or two nights or long distance hiking in in colder colder weather. I'd say so many compression straps So many buckles so many things there. I love it. I'm a complete nerd when it comes to bags And I think I've got three or four off sprays I'll just love them. I think they're brilliant. So these side you've got these side pockets and each you've got compression straps, but You can choose to have your compression straps in tight to the bag or they can go over the pocket So I'll put I put one In and then one out. So if I want anything that needs securing there, it can go there And this one's just for water bottles. So the straps don't get in the way But you can mix it up However, you like it's easy access. So the front straps the compression straps you get you open them up and then you can You can get in the front Yeah, so you can get in the front then you can you know if you need to get your stove out or Something from the bottom. You're not having to take everything out the top of your bag Really handy that really handy and also in the same vein. There is a At the bottom So you can get in from the top the middle and you can also get in from the bottom as well And this is where you put your sleeping bag Instant access. There's even a divider there which you can it's optional. You can take that out if you want But it just it keeps your sleeping bag away from everything else So if you've got wet clothes or anything that you just want to keep away from the rest of your kit That goes straight in the bottom there. It's really easy to access and again, it's got compression straps on the bottom But these come really far out so you can use it to strap your tent on to or a sleeping mat Whatever I'll tell you what mate. I'll show you this. This is a really good feature. So if you've got a little a Osprey bag with the little with the buckles on You'll find in here Behind the compression strap of these little loops so you can and there so you can clip on your mini Osprey now I've had this one for 15 years this one the Osprey Viper 9 So you see that turns it into like you can attach that if you're going traveling or If you're going for long multi-day hike So you're going to a campsite where you want to do little day trips away from from camp then that attaches perfectly You can even put the big compression compression straps over it as well And then you've got yourself a built-in the ultimate built-in day pack Which I thought was a really cool feature it's like You know when you know, we're not transformers get together It's like that or whatever they call power rangers or whatever they called Wombles way below anyway, I love that feature. I think it's great Let's put it on on the straps itself. I mean they're so comfortable and once you're all strapped up You're never too far away from a built-in whistle, which is on the male part of the top buckle so if you fall over and Break your ass, whatever you want. Just if you're lying on your back. You can just go Help me It's a really good feature because you can't always reach your whistle. So it's always there for you I think that's excellent Yeah, well, I've got it on my back back. I'll show you the So comfortable make look at it. It's quite easy for your hat for your walking poles There's a little loop down here and then Into the top bit Tighten it There you are and they don't get in your way and they're always there It's a great design. That saw me across the country that in my osprey for yeah, I think it's a great It's a great little feature You'll see you might not know that these race up tucks up into here if you get it out you've got these Loops there's one on each side. I won't get that other one out, but there's one on each side And that's for your isax and then it just the loop just tooks back up into the bag itself Look into that little space there just keeps everything nice and out of the way, which I like These compression straps that go across here as well. They also once the bag is empty They will stretch all the way around Because you've got these side compression straps You can undo this and that can stretch all the way around to this one here and compress the bag Completely on your back if you're walking around and you've got nothing in the bag And you want the ultimate compression and that'll do that for you. Yeah, it's You can fit a bladder in it as well Which comes out here and you've got the option then to go down either one of these either one of these straps Also on the belt on the actual on the actual hip itself You've got these two huge pockets and you can fit your phone Trail mix snacks Whatever you want into them mate. There's loads of room in there so you've got two Two pockets at the top a huge pocket. This is where I keep my first aid kit knife gloves You can even put a little tap in there anything that you need to get to quickly and then in this one you have the brightly colored Raincoat and it's got a little toggle That goes through this loop here So that on a windy and rainy day, it's not gonna It's not gonna blow away And I believe that So you get that with the Europe. I think it is European model comes with the the rain cover Don't quote me now. I think in the US model. I think the the top bit turns into a day pack but again this top bit can be used separately You have these little buckles So easy to do it's just clip clip done I'll take this off now He says it's easy, but look he's struggling there you go. It's really easy just to detach the bucket top there and then what I do is If you just it doesn't mean it doesn't turn itself into a bag that you can carry say, but if you take one of these to the to the other corner and Same with the other one you can just chuck it over your shoulder like that and just Be hands-free with it And if you just at camp and you want to might want to go and watch the Sun go down You want to put a couple of cans in there and a Whatever you want and that's a nice little feature to have if you need it and then Underneath there if you don't have that on Hidden under if you turn these inside out you'll find the female side of these buckles so you can You can use that as a as a lid Really good really simple system to get into even if you've got your big big gloves on A lot of room mate absolutely just acres of it. You've got compression steps inside. Oh, hello There's no other pockets in there There's just the back bit which has got a pocket down the back which has sometimes slide me grilling and Easy just to put back in there. So yeah, that's all of it really and then sir and then at the front Once that's got you've got this big stash pouch here Big mesh it's a mixture of different material. It's got the mesh and the whatever nylon it is And then you can put your wet clothes in there or just stack bits and pieces really quick while you're on the move That's it mate. That's it mate Just play around with it with the anti-gravity system just play around with it until it until it Until you get it right now. I've taken it on a good few adventures So I felt like it was a good time just to let you have a little look at it All the features and stuff and you know, even if you do own this bag It's maybe good for you to have a look at stuff that you might not have known or Wondering what that buckle does or what that strap does If you have any questions about it, just chuck them down. I'll try and answer mate. It's hard. I do find it hard to reply But to all of them, but I'm sure in fact if you put if you have if you do have questions put them down there because there's a there's a high Brain in there and between us all about we know everything We are legion. We're stronger together So if you do have any questions chuck them down below and someone'll answer it. I'm sure Is that everything I've been through? Yeah, that's it mate and that's it The Osprey 8th of 70 AG and it comes in medium or large. I believe this is the medium but Go Osprey have got an app or go on the website and you can get measured up for it and see which one that you Would be best for you How long have I been going all right, okay? Well, I'll probably edit some out mate I can't wait to get back up in the mountains and start using this bad boy I'll leave a link below if you want to have a look at it or if you want to purchase it I'll leave a link below So you can do that right thanks for watching take care of yourself. Bye for now
