The Ether 55 is a durable and lightweight backpack suitable for weekend tent trips or 2-3 night hut stays. It features adjustable functions to accommodate various body types, making it ideal for those seeking a precise fit. The shoulder straps that wrap around the shoulders, the hip belt integrated with a wire frame, and the Airscape back panel with ventilation holes provide a comfortable and balanced carrying experience. The main compartment is easily accessible via a large front panel zip, and it's equipped with essential gear compartments, making it a simple yet user-friendly backpack. Rain cover not included. I used it once for hiking, but I no longer need it, so I'm selling it.
