Will The ZPacks Arc Haul 70 Make Me Ditch My Osprey Aether 70? A Head to Head Comparison

I have used the ‪@ospreypacks‬ Aether 70 ever since I was 16. In fact, the Osprey Aether 70 is the only pack I have used since I started backpacking. It’s been with me for 400 miles of the AT and countless other weekend trips, but in my quest to lighten my kit, I have had my eye on the Arc Haul 70 from ‪@zpacksofficial‬ for a while, so I broke down and bought the ZPacks Arc Haul 70 for myself. Join me as I backpack The Arizona Trail to break this pack in, and determine if I’m going to ditch the Osprey Aether 70 for it. I will judge the Osprey Aether 70 and ZPacks Arc Haul 70 on 5 different categories. Weight Durability Load Transfer/Comfort Organization & Cost I’ve added chapters that will take you to each category. Which one will win? The Osprey Aether 70, or the ZPacks Arc Haul 70? Which one will I use moving forward?
