Do not buy this pack or others like it. Osprey denies all responsibility for it's design faults and refuses to properly repair these packs or others like these.I have 2 Ospresy pack that have both failed in exactly the same place. The zip on the curve. It is so clearly a design fault yet Osprey says "With your pack being at least 4 years old this wear is inevitable". So, unless you want a pack that can be useless after some short amount of use, don't buy Osprey.

The Ariel Plus 85 backpack was a game changer for me. I'm not a "professional" backpacker, so packing everything but the "kitchen sink" was a desire. Although I wound up not packing that too, I did manage to get everything I needed, and more, into this pack for a 3 night solo trip. An ultralight tent and a 4.7" high sleeping pad were carried on the outside of the pack, while my mummy-style sleeping bag was in the sleeping bag compartment at the bottom of the bag. Other necessary items took up the rest of the space, with room to spare. Not only was there plenty of room in this bag, but it was incredibly comfortable. I'm humpbacked, so not many backpacks are comfortable for me. With the adjustable torso feature, I was able to get a truly dialed-in fit and was able to ...

This pack has a lot of good things going for it, but there are some significant design flaws that outweigh the good for me. This pack broke before I even got to use it. The buckle attachments that secure the brain/top lid both broke due to poor design and had to be secured with a knot. The first one broke at orientation for a Rainier climb, the second side broke during the climb. Additionally, when you use the top lid as a daypack, the attachment for the straps makes absolutely no sense and is poorly designed. Also had to secure these with a knot.

I bought the Ariel Plus 85 as an expedition backpack for Denali (recommended to me). However, completely empty, it is a very heavy backpack. It’s also incredibly over engineered with multiple extra bits that it just doesn’t need - for example, there is another smaller backpack hidden in a compartment but as it’s stitched in, you have to cut it out in order to reduce the overall weight of the pack. The pack is comfortable to wear, but I’m not sure it’s worth the added weight of the back support. Overall I was very disappointed with the purchase. It wasn’t cheap, but it’s so heavy and unnecessarily bulky in places, I know I’ll never use it again
I bought this about a month ago and have done two backpacking trips, it is one of the best backpacks I've owned so far. Osprey really has outdone themselves, especially with the front opening compartment. Easy access for everything and fits so many things in it as well. Easy to clean and the straps don't hurt as bad as other brands.
I bought this pack for a 7 day backpacking trip in Wyoming. It was the most uncomfortable pack I have ever owned. It’s too late to return it so I will try to sell it. I cannot recommend this pack.
