Osprey Aether 85: torso length adjustment
The Osprey Aether 85 features a floating height lid, load lifter straps, and a contoured fit harness.  The pack has a head relief curve built into the top of the main compartment just above the backpanel to provide headroom and freedom of head movement. The Osprey Aether 85 shoulder harness is attached to the backpanel with hook and loop fastener, and can be adjusted to fit different torso lengths by peeling the backpanel away from the harness, moving the harness to the desired length, and then reconnecting.

Osprey Aether 85: bottom view of pack illustrating hipbelt thickness
The Osprey Aether 85 features Osprey's breathable AirScape suspension system which utilizes mesh over a nubbed foam backpanel to increase ventilation and spring-like aluminum rods on the sides of the pack to provide extra load comfort and shock absorption. Photo above was taken from the bottom of the Osprey Aether 85 looking up at the IsoForm hipbelt to show the thickness of the padding. The IsoForm thermoplastic hipbelt can optionally be custom molded and remolded with the help of a specialized oven at an Osprey dealer to fit the contour of the user's body.  Fit is very comfortable even without the molding.
Osprey Aether 85: side view of hip belt
Side view of the Osprey Aether 85 IsoForm hipbelt shows the two strap system which adjusts the hipbelt tension independently over the top and bottom of the iliac crest. This two strap ErgoPull system helps to distribute pressure more evenly and relieve direct pressure on the hip bones.
