| The top of the lid compartment has two tie down buckles
and four fabric loops (red arrow) which can be used to attach items to
the top of the Osprey Aether 85
. This floating lid is detachable and can be used separately as a fanny
pack. |
The Osprey Aether 85 has a hydration sleeve built into
the main compartment and two hydration tube ports to allow left or right
side mounting of a hydration system. (hydration bladder and tube not
included) |

| Photo above shows a close view of one of six "D" loops
located under the compression wings on the front of the Osprey Aether
85 (also seen in photo to right). These loops can be used to attach Osprey
Excessories such as the Daylite or Crampon Pocket. |
The Osprey Aether 85 features a welded stretch woven shovel
pocket (shown with model's hand inside), and two ice axe loops (green arrows). Six "D" loop attachment points (shown by red arrows) located
under the front fabric compression wings.

| The StraightJacket compression system allows the left compression
wing to wrap around the front of the pack and attach to the right side
of the pack with two quick release buckles (connection shown by red arrows in photos). This feature can be used when carrying
smaller loads to keep the pack contents compressed and secured in a more
fitting volume. Photos 1-3 are front views of the Aether 85, and illustrate
the procedure (from left
to right) for using the StraightJacket feature (the red arrows
indicate the other set of buckles located on the right side of the pack).
Photo 4 (on far right) is a side view of the Aether 85 with the StraightJacket
feature in use. All four photos are shown with the lid compartment removed. |

| Photo above shows one of two stretch pockets on the sides
of the Osprey Aether 85 . These pockets can be accessed from the top
or from the side (shown with model's thumb through side opening) |
Photos above show the IsoForm hipbelt and floating lid removed from
the Aether 85. The top photo demonstrates how the belt passes behind
the lumbar pad built into the lid (path of red arrow).
The green arrows
in both photos indicate the buckles at which the lid attaches to the
belt. The bottom photo shows the lid and belt converted for use as a
hip pack. |
