| The top of the lid compartment has two tie down buckles
(green arrow) and four fabric loops (blue arrow)
which can be used to attach items to the top of the Osprey Ariel 65
. This floating lid is detachable and can be used separately as a fanny
pack. |
The Osprey Ariel 65 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) |
|
|
| The front of the Ariel 65 features three horizontal compression
straps with quick release buckles. Two of these compression straps can
be attached to the far left side of the pack to compress it further via
the StraightJacket system. |
The Osprey Ariel 65 has a separate sleeping bag compartment
at the bottom of the pack, and features two ice axe loops (shown by green arrows). |

| Photo above shows a close view of one of six "D" loops
located under the compression wings on the front of the Osprey Ariel
65 (also seen in photo to right). These loops can be used to attach Osprey
Excessories such as the Daylite or Crampon Pocket. |
The Osprey Ariel 65 features a welded stretch woven shovel pocket (shown
with model's hand inside), and two ice axe loops (green arrows).

| 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 green 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 Ariel 65, and illustrate
the procedure (from left to right) for using the StraightJacket feature (the green 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 Ariel 65 with the StraightJacket
feature in use. All four photos are shown with the lid compartment removed. |

| Photos above show the IsoForm hipbelt and floating lid
removed from the Ariel 65. The left photo demonstrates how the belt passes
behind the lumbar pad built into the lid (path of green arrow).
The blue arrows
in both photos indicate the buckles at which the lid attaches to the
belt. The photo on the right shows the lid and belt converted for use
as a hip pack. |
