Have spent 30 min trying to figure out the back adjustability of the anti gravity system. Haven’t found a single video explaining how to do it. This one shows it easlity done, tried imitiating the movements but I’m about to break it because it DOESNT MOVE!!! Any help is appreciated
I wonder if you can take this backpack as handluggage on a flight, maybe without the top lid? If so how does the top lid look when you've taken it out..can you maybe take it with you as a little hand purse?
would you recommend a 50 or 66L Aura AG for a backpacking trip of 3-4 days? I love this bag a lot but I am confused if this capacity is enough for tent, sleeping and food. Thanks
I am 14 and just starting to go on overnight and weekend trips. I’m 5’7, what size should I get or are there other packs that would work better for my height?
Hi Emma, Since different pack manufacturers have different sizing standards, its usually best to use your torso length, rather than your height, to determine the best pack size. Here's how you measure: www.backcountryedge.com/videos/how-to-measure-your-torso-for-backpack-fitting Once you have that info, most pack models have a size chart that shows what range of torso length will best fit each size pack. Happy Trails!
There is not a flap to go over the pack if you leave the top part at home. This would be a nice featrure like it said in the video, but there is no flap so water would just get in.
I can't choose between the 50l version and the 65l version. Can you compress the 65l backpack enough even if you have a smaller load? I will be going to festivals for like 5 days with this pack
I'm a 5'9" 175# male who has the 50L version. I can pack so much stuff in there that it's too heavy to carry into the mountains. I have plenty of room in there for everything I need for a week long trip. I'm going to be using it on a thru hike this year and am not concerned about this being too small. I'd say if you can't fit it all in the 50, you are probably bringing too much stuff.
I want to buy this one but I can't decide if I should buy the 50 or 65 L. I want to use it to backpack through Italy and South-East Asia for one month a time. Any tips how to decide which one to buy? Say, if I buy the 65 L, can I compress it if it's not fully loaded? I am 1.60 and thought of buying the small size.
Both the 50 and 65 L models are compressible if you don't have them fully loaded and both make great travel packs. Remember, your knees and back will thank you if you pack light. Sometimes carrying a smaller pack forces you to bring only what's absolutely necessary. A good trick is to find a cardboard box, measure its dimensions (LxWxH), and put your stuff inside. If you multiply those numbers together you'll get the volume in cubic inches (or cm), which you can use to estimate how much capacity you will need for your gear. Happy Trails!
Thank you so much! I own this bag but I mainly use it for travelling. Will be doing my first hike tomorrow and I saw you video while looking for tips on how to maximise it. P.S. I am able to have it as carry on but not fully packed though.
I am confused between Osprey Aura AG 50 and Gregory Jade 53. I watched both the videos but unable to decide. It will be both for backpacking and urban traveling. Any suggestions?
Both packs have a tensioned mesh backpanel and similar capacity, so it could be a tough choice. Each pack will work well for what you described, so it's likely a matter of which one feels better and what features you prefer. Feel free to give us a call or send an email if you want to get into the details: www.backcountryedge.com/customer-support/?.com&H8uCNr09ww
Thanks for the review! How does the pack's material (for the entire body) deal with rain? Does light rain trickle off? At what point should one use a separate rain cover? Thanks!
***** The materials are highly water resistant but by no means waterproof. If there's a light misty rain coming down, you'll be okay without a rain cover. But if that light misty rain is coming down over a whole day, we'd highly recommend covering the pack. Your best bet is to always cover the pack in the event of a storm because you never know how long the storm will last. The water resistance is good for warding off that initial rain before you get the cover on.
Hey, thanks for watching! This video is a few years old, but you can find the new version/colors of the AUra AG 50 here: www.enwild.com/osprey-aura-ag-50-women-s-2018.html?.com&H8uCNr09ww The pack torso sizes are: XSmall: 14"-17" Small: 16"-19" Medium: 18"-21"
Osprey describes it as a "continuous backpanel of lightweight mesh extending from the top of the backpanel to the hipbelt to provide unmatched comfort and ventilation. The seamless structure automatically contours to the body, providing outstanding fit and unrestricted movement." Many packs have mesh as part of their backpanel, the 3 dimensional seamless design is what makes Osprey's unique.
Hi Patti I'm including a direct link to the users manual from Osprey for this series. www.osprey.com/user_manuals/OM_AtmosAura_S18_ENG.pdf It takes a little getting used to but having the load lifters and the harness straps loose helps a lot.
pity that the rain cover is on top because if for some reason the top can not use then we make the top loose, then the rain cover also goes away then we stay without it.
Thanks for your comment. Note that the raincover is sold separately. You can certainly pack the raincover in the top lid pocket, but if you choose to leave the lid at home, you can just stow the raincover in a different pocket lower on the pack so it comes along on your hike!
Hi I loved this video, my main concern is that it only has top access to the main compartment. Which other backpack would you recommend that are comfortable and has top and front/side access to the main compartment? I have been comparting the Osprey Ariel and Gregory Deva. I think that different access to the main compartment is important for long trips, and that is the one feature I would like to find on the Aura backpack
Both the Deva and Ariel are excellent, fully featured packs. They'll provide much more load stability under a heavier pack load than the Aura. If you're looking to go much lighter weight, you could also check out the Jade series from Gregory. They're very lightweight and have a variety of different access options.
hye becky! rily like ur review about this pack. just wanted to ask ur opinion between osprey aura and osprey xena. they looked rily similar. i believe the suspension system is different. Hope u dont mind sharing ur opinion about these two packs.especially their suspension system review. Looking forward to hearing from you. thanks in advance 😊
+totok3126 The Osprey Aura AG and the Xena packs are very different. The Aura is designed as a much lighter weight pack and isn't intended to carry heavier loads. It has a max capacity of 65 Liters. The Anti-Gravity suspension system is very lightweight, flexible and breathable and hugs the body very nicely. The Xena pack is designed to be much more of a load hauler. It can hold more weight, has larger capacity options and heavier duty materials. Also, the BioForm CM suspension system has customization options so you can get a great fit no matter your size. The way the foam is constructed, these packs custom mold to your body to provide an excellent fit and transfer the load very effectively. The Xena also offers multiple access points and the hood detaches to become its own small day pack. So, if you need a lightweight pack for weekend adventures or longer ultralight adventures, the Aura AG is a great option. If you're looking for a load hauling pack for extended trips or heavy duty adventures, the Xena is the ticket. Thanks for watching!
having the same issue as Wordsmyth8 below--pushing the back of my head forward. I can not seem to figure out how to adjust the sliding area in the back to raise /lower the straps
Phoebe Schwarz theres a small clip that you push to adjust it up or down. Its right at the top of each side of the adjuster. If you put ur fingers on the back of the adjusters you'll feel it.
Most pack manufacturers recommend selecting size based on torso measurement, rather than height or weight. If you have never measured your torso before, here’s a video demonstration: trailsense.enwild.com/how-to-measure-your-torso-for-backpack-fitting/. Once you know your torso measurement, follow the link in the description to view the Size Guide and recommended size for your torso length. Thanks for watching!
Definitely, don't put it in a washing machine. Osprey recommends the following: WASHING YOUR PACK 1. If your pack has a removable harness and hipbelt remove them from the pack body. 2 .Brush out and remove gear, food, dirt or spilled items. 3. Don’t wash in washing machine. Clean your pack and components in a bathtub or large sink using a mild soap and warm water. Osprey recommends nikwax tech wash. 4. Agitate the pack gently and scrub inside and out all compartment and pockets with a soft brush. 5. Brush clean all zippers and flush clean the buckles. 6. Drain the soapy and dirty water from the bathtub or sink and refill with cool clean water. Rinse the pack thoroughly. 7. Hang dry outdoors or in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

I have this bag and it hurts my shoulders. Please please help me i had back surgery in the past and i am on a rtw trip. Dunno who to contact. I am 1.64 and 63 kilos and took the small one. I dont know how to make the hipbelt shorter you show it and it looks easy but when i push it inside it just doesnt go in. Also, i dont know if ive made the right torso adjustments or... Please help me i cannot use it anymore as my shoulders hurt.
Hi Kate! Thank you for your comment. It sounds like you need some advise from a Gear Specialist. Fitting a backpack is a bit of trial and error until you can dial in the best fit. If you've had surgery and are concerned about causing injury, we'd first advise you to contact your doctor! The hipbelt fins are connected by Velcro. To adjust them, you break the Velcro and adjust the fins in or out. They adjust about 4 inches on either side. We'd suggest that you contact a Gear Specialist for more comprehensive fit advise. email: gearspecialist@backcountryedge.com or call us at 1-800-617-0643. M-f 9:00AM-5:30PM ET.
Backcountry Edge hey my torso was 48 i had the small but it always felt as if the belt was going up with the weight falling on the shoulders with a slightly bigger one i feel i dont have to drag it here and there it sits. Advice? Am i right? It is good when it hugs the hips instead of struggling on them huh
Backcountry Edge i have this exact pack by the way. I adjusted the torso to the second line from above and looks ok. Tell me if u think im wrong. Cheers.
The hipbelt can be adjusted by unhooking the Velcro underneath the hipbelt tabs and sliding them in or out. The harness can also be moved up or down by adjusting the "Anti-Gravity" tab along the backpanel. Thanks for watching!
Vianney nay The Aura AG 50 would be a great pack to do 3 days by yourself. At 50 liters I wouldn't say it's big enough for the kitchen sink but you should be able to pack the essentials.Thankfully its got great versatility and should allow for multiple configurations.
+Isrrael Garcia Generally, a pack of around 40 Liters will be approved for carry-on use. Always be sure to check the pack's dimensions against whichever airline you plan to use for your travels.
Thanks for asking. This video is from 2015, so the color in the video has since been discontinued. You can find the new colors here: www.backcountryedge.com/osprey-aura-ag-50-women-s-2018.html
The Antigravity system can be adjusted using two clamps that are located behind the shoulder straps. You'll see two arrows on the outside of the shoulder strap with a hexagon shape in between them. Just next to that, behind the mesh back panel, will be the clamp. It needs to be pinched open. Once opened, you can slide the whole harness up or down depending on your needs. You have to continue holding the clamp open as you adjust the harness. Becky details this at 3:35 in the video.
+Isrrael Garcia This pack can be used for traveling but it must be checked. It is too large to be used as a carry-on. Osprey is based in Cortez, Colorado but does manufacture packs overseas.
It is women specific, meaning the harness, shoulder straps, and waist belt are designed more towards a women's fit. It may fit men though. The men's specific style is called the Atmos.

+Isrrael Garcia We sell these packs directly on our website. They're currently $229.99 USD. Osprey also lists dealers directly on their manufacturer website.
Yep! The 50 stands for "about" 50 liters. The capacity changes slightly as you go up in size. Here is a more detailed volume capacity specification in cubic inches: Small: 2685 cu in Medium: 2868 cu in Large: 3051 cu in
Ashley Arbon There is a sleeve on the inside of the backpack that has an elastic band that lays on the backpanel side. You can use this to hold the hydration bladder and there is a small port at the top of the pack to route the hose through. Check out the video at 4:40 to see where Becky shows that top port. If you have any other questions, let us know. Thanks for watching!
I ordered it online. But, I followed the fitting instructions and, after doing everything I could to fit the bag correctly to me, I ended up returning it. It was just overall too small for my frame. I was so disappointed - I finally had a quality, large-volume backpack and it didn't work for me. :-(
I've had this for about six years, i guess it's about time i watch this. I just noticed that it has a whistle.
Nice, thorough review. Learned new things about my new Aura. Thanks!
Wonderful! Thanks for the comment.
Bought mine today! Yessssssssss!
I'm so ready now. Can't wait!

Please, where can I find this color online? I keep checking your site and It’s out of stock for a long time. Thank you.
Good question! This video is a bit old, so the Aura isn't offered in that color anymore. Your best bet might be looking for a used model!
Thank you, I wish if they bring this color again.

You're welcome!
Do the shoulder straps slide at all when you are walking because of the sliding adjustability feature?
The shoulder strap adjustment points are held by small, teethy sliders. The teeth make slipping impossible without human hands pulling up on them.
How I change the size of the lifters? And hips?
The hipbelt can be adjusted by unhooking the Velcro underneath the hipbelt tabs and sliding them in or out. The harness can also be moved up or down by adjusting the "Anti-Gravity" tab along the backpanel. Thanks for watching!

If you have any other questions, let us know. Thanks for watching!
I used an antigravity gun in half life
I just got one but I really don't like how the lid pushes the back of my head forward. Is it supposed to fit like that?
Did you get it fitted? I found that the men's packs do that where as he women's packs do not.
I ordered it online. But, I followed the fitting instructions and, after doing everything I could to fit the bag correctly to me, I ended up returning it. It was just overall too small for my frame. I was so disappointed - I finally had a quality, large-volume backpack and it didn't work for me. :-(
can we put tent in it and is it good for a month expedition ? thanks
HI Nadia- It would be a good size for a month expedition. You could attach a small tent with compression straps or put the tent in the upper pocket.
