Using your Osprey Aether 65 Extended Fit Backpack is a breeze. First, adjust the torso length according to your body. Just loosen the straps and move the back panel up or down until it fits well. Then, adjust the Custom Fit - on - the - Fly™ Shoulder Straps and Hipbelt. You can change their length and angle to get the most comfortable fit. Make sure the hipbelt is tight enough so that the weight is transferred to your hips.
When packing, use the large front panel zip to access the main compartment easily. Put your heavier items close to your back for better balance. Use the side water bottle pockets for quick access to your drinks. The floating top lid with lash points is great for strapping on extra gear like a sleeping bag or a tent.
For maintenance, always clean your backpack after use. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it dry in a well - ventilated area. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric. If your backpack gets wet, make sure to dry it completely before storing it. Also, check the straps and zippers regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any problems, get them fixed right away to keep your backpack in good condition.
