The detachable top which converts to a day pack is excellent. Big enough to hold waterbottle, firstaid pack, down jacket and meat bags.

I haven't totally gotten it to fit me after 2 trips, the bottom of the waste belt rubs on my hips but I'm sure its just a matter of breaking it in.

Ive got the Aether 70 and also had the issue of the hip belt rubbing my hips raw, Had plenty of trips thinking it would come right, tried a few adjustments and nothing fixed it. Theres plastic inserts in the hip belts that can be removed, I cut an arch out of them where my hip bones were. Good as now.

Really good packs, although I found the day pack system junk for my use so cut it out for more room and slight weight reduction I guess... For me it's a lot nicer to use the main pack with the top bit removed if wanting it smaller for a day pack..
