| The Osprey Ariel 65 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 Ariel 65 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. |

| The Osprey Ariel 65
features Osprey's breathable AirScape suspension system
which utilizes mesh over a nubbed foam backpanel to increase ventilation. Spring-like aluminum rods (green arrows) on the sides of the pack
to provide extra load comfort and shock absorption. |
Side view of the Osprey Ariel 65 IsoForm hipbelt shows
the two strap system (buckles shown by green arrows) 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. |

| Photo above was taken from the bottom of the Osprey Ariel
65 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. |
