Since REI [-X didn't quite get my measurement right, I ended up with too small of a backpack. I should have treated the purchase of this new backpack (bot April 11th online) as a piece of clothing and just spent the extra dollars and bot it at the store so I could easily take it back in case it didn't fit. Live and learn. :bdh:
I do love the pack but I am moving up to a medium. My Aura 65 has only been out in the wilderness for 3 nights. It's a good size for 2-3 nite trips or for those trying to go lighter weight with their gear.
Color: Brown Sugar
Wt: 3 lbs 7 oz
Vol: 3800 ci
You can read more about this pack at the Osprey site and of course there are reviews at various places. It retails at $239 or so. I'm not sure what to ask for money-wise and taking into account shipping so make me an offer. I'd like to get $185.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.

The same thing happened to me(I just ordered the wrong size) and I was able to just exchange it at the retail store. I used it for about a week.

If you're ever dissatisfied with an item, you may return or exchange your REI.com purchases at any REI store or through mail order. From rei.com (if you bought it on-line from them).

Re: Good deal on ladies (S) 2009 Aura 65 Backpack
The operative phrase is "if you bot it on-line from them(REI)". At the time I was more interested in saving money and didn't thoroughly review the return/exchange policy of rockymountaintrail.com. Like so many things in life, "live and learn". ;)rlrjamy wrote:If you're ever dissatisfied with an item, you may return or exchange your REI.com purchases at any REI store or through mail order.

Tibber.. 4 online stores that are wonderful for returns and carry Osprey gear: Backcountry.com - Campsaver.com - Prolitegear.com - Moosejaw.com
these fine online stores can be used for your next purchase(s) if you cannot find deals at REI.
that's a great pack line and you should have a buyer soon. craigslist may even work, believe it or not ;)

I've accepted that even tho REI may not be the lowest price, the return policy and their "do-good-give-back" projects make them my first stop for most everything.

Re: Good deal on ladies (S) 2009 Aura 65 Backpack
I'd buy it from you but as all my online pals have heard me complain lately, "I'm broke!" So in about a month if you have not sold it I will contact you. (I am now working 7 days a week at two jobs!) But you will probably find a buyer sooner than that as it is a desirable item. As I am only 5'2" I think it would be the right size.
