Verdict
Neither is a bad pack. A bad fit is the problem. If you cannot try them, buy from a shop that takes returns.
What the published specs say
Osprey Aura AG 65
Do not buy a unisex pack and hope. The Aura is worth it when the hip belt matches and the load is heavy enough to need the ventilation. It is a lot of pack for a summer quilt kit. Fit the torso in person if you can.
Who should buy it. Women carrying traditional loads who overheat under a flat back panel.
Best for. Women who want the Atmos carry in a women's fit

Gregory Deva 60
The Deva is the Gregory answer to the Aura. Try both with weight. One will feel like a hug and the other will feel like a mistake, and the reviews will not predict which. Shorter torsos should not force a long size.
Who should buy it. Women on week-long trips with a full bear can and a real sleep system.

Best women's backpacking packs
Try the Osprey Aura AG 65 and the Gregory Deva 60 with the same weight. One will match your hip and torso and the other will not, and a unisex pack is not a shortcut. Buy the one that puts the load on the hip belt without a pressure point.
Women carrying a full weekend or week. Not a gram-counting kit that would rather have a ULA or a Kakwa.
Picks are chosen for how you will use them, not by a private lab score. Weights and ratings are the manufacturer’s published figures and can change with the model year. Prices are not listed. Open the current listing before you buy.
Default on that page. If you overheat against a flat back panel, start with the Aura. If you want a denser, more supportive carry, start with the Deva. Fit both if you can.
Backpacks
Torso fit, ventilation, and volume. A 65-liter pack is the wrong answer for a lot of first nights.
The harness fits the torso, not the liter number. A pack that is the right brand and the wrong back length will hurt by mile six no matter the reviews. Load it with about 20 to 25 pounds in a shop if you can.
Volume should match the sleep system you already own. A bulky 20°F bag and a wide pad need more pack than a quilt and a slim pad. Extra empty volume becomes extra gear.
- Measure torso length before you compare features.
- Women-specific fits are different models, not a colorway.
- A daypack and a week-long winter pack are not the same purchase.
