I'm planning a budget-friendly backpacking trip and considering the Osprey Aura 65 for my travels. I've read great things about its comfort and capacity, but I'm trying to figure out if it's the best investment for my needs.

Does anyone have experience with this pack in terms of durability and functionality for longer trips? How does it hold up in various climates and on different terrains? I'm particularly interested in any tips on packing efficiently with it and how it fares during budget trips where I might be hopping on trains or buses frequently. Any advice or alternative suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The Osprey Aura 65 is often praised for its comfort and durability, making it a solid choice for longer trips. Its suspension system helps with load distribution, which is great for various terrains. For frequent train or bus travel, it's useful to be organized—packing cubes can help keep things tidy. If your budget allows, it's a worthwhile investment. If you're looking for alternatives, consider the Gregory Deva or Deuter Aircontact series, which are also popular among backpackers. Always try on packs if possible to ensure the best fit for your needs. Have you checked if it fits in overhead compartments for easy transport?

I've used the Osprey Aura 65 for a couple of long trips, and it's held up really well in different climates and terrains. It's comfortable and has good organization options. For train or bus travel, its size can fit in overhead compartments if not overpacked. Packing cubes really help with staying organized and efficient. You might also want to check out the Gregory Deva, which is similar in price and features. Have you tried either on in-store to see how they feel?
