Osprey Women's Aura Ag 50 Backpacking Pack

Product Information

I’m a big fan of the Osprey Aura AG LT’s aesthetic. Its Antidote Purple color pairs beautifully with other common shades of outdoor apparel. This applies to the Koseret Darjeeling Spring Green color, too. The Aura 50 features an adjustable harness and hip belt, allowing you to customize the fit to your body shape and size. The harness is equipped with padded shoulder straps that offer excellent cushioning and support, reducing pressure points on your shoulders. The hip belt, with its generous padding, helps to transfer the weight from your shoulders to your hips, ensuring a more balanced and comfortable load carry.

The Osprey Aura 50 is available in X-small, Small, and Medium versions with a capacity of 44, 47, and 50 litres respectively. When you’re on the move, especially during strenuous activities, proper ventilation is crucial to staying comfortable and reducing sweat build-up. The Osprey Aura 50 excels in this aspect with a well-designed ventilation system that helps keep you cool and dry throughout your outdoor adventures. For example, the extra small/small Osprey Eja 58 may be slightly smaller (55L) than the Osprey Aura AG LT 65 (63L). But the Eja’s 100D main fabric largely accounts for its low weight of just 2.717 lbs (1.232 kg).

Weight

They are not the heaviest models in the market, but they can limit your mobility on the trail, especially when filled to the brim. This is to say that if you are a minimalist hiker who likes to travel light, then you might want to opt for a lighter option. It may also come in handy when you have to board a plane since its compact size may be allowed inside.

On the other hand, if you are setting out on a long and multi-day adventure, the Aura 65 offers you the capacity to carry enough supplies to last you through the trip. Its size might just be within the allowed limit to board a plane and it will be a nice option if you want something more rugged and comfortable for the trip. The main shortcoming to using the Aura 50 for traveling is that it only has one access to the main compartment, which is also located at the top. Another difference comes in the sizes of the bag. When placed side by side, you’ll notice that the Aura 50 is considerably slimmer and more compact than the Aura 65. Whether you are going for an overnight trip or spending a couple of nights wild camping, the Osprey Aura will serve you diligently in both cases. One thing I’ll say about the hip straps though is that being so stiff it can be a difficult task just to pull them out from behind you to get them round your waist. Sometimes I didn’t feel strong enough and just gave up (I’m a petty wiener like that).However, it can be a little confusing when you have to choose between the Aura 50 and the 65. Hopefully, the review above provides you with all the information you need to make a well-thought-out decision! All the best! In most cases, the choice between the two bags comes down to the amount of space required to comfortably fit all your supplies, especially considering that both bags come with more or less the same design and features. Table Data Source: data reported by Osprey. Travel Lemming has tested and confirmed these dimensions for the Osprey Aura AG LT 65 (extra small/small size). However, we have not manually confirmed this data for all other models. Osprey Aura AG LT Alternatives The Small Aura 50 is the mid-point in the range and add an extra pound to weigh 4.1 pounds. It can also carry 47 litters luggage and features dimensions of 32.28 x 14.17 x 14.17”. Finally, you can also buy the biggest Osprey Aura 50 which has an actual 50-liter capacity. It weighs 4.18 pounds and measures 32.28 x 14.17 x 14.17”.

Despite its impressive features and performance, the Osprey Aura 50 remains lightweight and compact. It weighs just under 4 pounds and has a capacity of 50 liters, making it an ideal choice for both short and long-distance trips. The 100DX630D nylon dobby fabric used on both bags is not waterproof, so you can’t use them in extremely wet weather. However, the fabric is water-resistant and does a great job of keeping the bag dry in case of light showers and splashes. The straps themselves are very well padded, and also feature mesh to keep them ventilated. This Osprey Aura 50L really is equipped to take on hot weather travel! My only gripe is that this strap mesh could be rough and irritating to the skin on my shoulders, so I had to wear a t-shirt rather than a smaller top whenever I made a long journey, or else wrap the straps in something. I can see what they were trying to do, though.All this compression means that even if the Aura is virtually empty, the load will always be secure and balanced. The below tables allow you to easily compare this entire Osprey series. The first table overviews the women’s Aura models, and the second details the men’s Atmos models. Both have new LT (light) versions, and Osprey continues to manufacture the original versions, too. Technical Specs Comparison Chart – Osprey Aura AG LT (women’s version) One notable feature of the Aura 50 is its gender-specific design. Osprey recognizes that the anatomy and needs of men and women differ, and as a result, they offer the Aura 50 in both men’s and women’s versions. The women’s version is tailored to better fit the female body shape, taking into account differences in torso length, shoulder width, and hip placement. This attention to detail ensures a comfortable and customizable fit for all users. Inside the main compartment, the Aura 50 offers plenty of space for organizing your gear. It features a large central compartment with a zippered divider, allowing you to separate your clean clothes from dirty or wet items. The compartment is also equipped with a hydration sleeve, which is compatible with a hydration reservoir (not included), making it convenient for staying hydrated on the go. The design and construction of the Aura 50 are exceptional. With its lightweight yet durable materials, reinforced stitching, and attention to detail, it can withstand the rigors of outdoor activities and last for years to come. The sleek and streamlined design ensures a comfortable fit, while the gender-specific models cater to the unique needs of both men and women.
