It seems odd to tamper with perfection ... so I am very intrigued. My own Camino has been postponed until next year, so I am no longer in any hurry to get my pack sorted and am enjoying looking and reading up in this forum!

I used the Aura 35 last year to do the Camino Francés and absolutely loved it as my back did not get sweaty at all. I had a bit of a lower backache on the 2nd day, simply because I was not used to carrying a backpack - after that I found it extremely comfortable. This year, for doing the Via de la Plata, I have decided I needed a slightly larger backback - I am setting off on 1st October and I'll need to carry some cold weather gear for November - so I have gone for the new model Aura 50.
At first look the internal frame seems to be curvier than the old model - however the pack feels just as comfortable on my back. I'll post again when I get back to let you know how I got on with it. (Obviously it won't be a true comparison as the pack is larger and a bit heavier than my old-model Aura 35.)
