Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

Bought as a gift. They said it worked great. The style kept their back from getting all sweaty. K.Kotz

I bought this backpack due to the solid reviews. This past weekend I got the chance to take the pack out for the first time - to Mount Whitney. I could fit a lot of stuff into the pack and it felt really comfortable when adjusted correctly. My big issue is that there is a terrible squeak that comes from the shoulder straps and the hip-belt with every step. It is super distracting and become downright annoying after a while - especially as you just want to hike in the wilderness with no annoying sounds. I checked out reviews after I got back and it turns out that this pack has always had an issue with squeaking. There is a post by an REI rep from 2018, where they claim that they fixed the issue with the packs from that year onwards. However, going by my experience and reading other reviews, it seems they have not fixed the issue ... or it is a QC issue. Some folks dont seem to have this problem. If you buy one, then just make sure you load it up as you would for your camping trip and walk around a bit to ensure that you dont have the squeak. For me personally, Osprey has had enough time to work on this, but it seems they havent been able to address this issue. For $270 before taxes, this pack is expensive - everything about it screams quality, other than this squeak. If Osprey fixed this issue, it would easily be a 5 star product.

This is an excellent pack. I am so happy with this purchase! Thank you Osprey for making the best pack yet.

This pack replaces an old pack with a metal frame from the 1970s, so for me, it is like going from a broken down truck to a Lexus. Watch the video on the product page--I wont even attempt to describe all the various pockets and storage areas on this pack. Its got a place for everything. But my favorite thing about the pack is the design. Empty it weighs about 6 lbs, full it varies, but the hip belt rests on the hips so that your hips are bearing a lot of the weight of the pack, rather than your back and shoulders. It makes the pack feel so much lighter and so doesnt stress your body as much. This pack is intended for use on a weekend up to 7+ days. The sizing of small, medium, large and extra large have nothing to do with the size of the pack but a neck vertebrae to hip line measurement that makes it fit well. Go to the Osprey website to see how to measure and order the corresponding size you need. This is an essential step for enjoying the benefits of this spectacular pack. There is also netting that holds it away from your back and straps that are well-padded and adjustable as well. The hip belt adjusts as well. This pack is guaranteed for the life of the original owner. If anything breaks, they will fix it or replace it. But dont expect to collect on the guarantee anytime soon. This pack is so well made. The Osprey Atmos AG 65 pack is expensive but worth the investment. If you camp out for a few nights instead of staying in a Super 8, youve already paid for it. Five stars without any hesitation.

Osprey packs rock! Loved the size and functionality! Liked the extra pockets on the top! Would be nice to know if there is a accessory that could be purchased to use it as a day pack? Great warranty. I have several Osprey packs and wont buy anything else!!!!!

Build to stay for long time. It is with my son now traveling all over the world for 5 month and all is just perfect. Strong, comfortable and looks nice as well.

Used it on a trip so I can’t return it but this pack squeaks and is annoying! Kept trying to figure out exactly where it was coming from but couldn’t.. Ughhh

The waist part design hurts our bones.

After switching from another backpack, this truly is an anti-gravity pack. It packs well, sits properly on my hips, and allows me to enjoy the hike. Highly recommend!

This is a lightweight large capacity internal frame pack for men. The pack is made of nylon and nylon dobby. Empty, size medium weighs 4 lbs 6 oz. The pack is loaded with pockets, top to bottom. The floating lid is removable and has 2 pockets; if you remove it from the main pack you can use it as a fanny pack. If you remove the floating lid, there is an internal flap (flapjacket) to keep rain from coming in the top of the pack. The main compartment of the pack has a sleeping bag compartment at the bottom with a removable divider. In the center front of the pack is a mesh pocket for carrying quick access gear (raingear, spare flipflops), with 2 more pockets behind it. The hip belt also has 2 small zippered pockets. There are mesh water bottle pockets on either side of the pack with dual openings, one regular at the top for vertical carries, and one angled so that you can grab your bottle (or whatever) with the pack on your back. The pack also includes a hydration sleeve and port that will accommodate a 3 liter water reservoir (sold separately). There is a heavy-duty carry loop on top of the pack, pole attachments on the straps, tool attachments on the main compartment, and removable sleeping bag/mat straps. There are also upper and lower compression straps. The pack is mesh-ventilated in the back, has a hip belt and a sternum belt with an integrated whistle. The internal frame can be adjusted for torso height and the hip belt for waist size. Zipper pulls are molded plastic loops. The pack is rated for 30-50 lb loads. The pack is backed by the Osprey lifetime warranty. This is a really comfortable pack for moderately heavy loads. It spreads the weight out evenly and suspends it to minimize uncomfortable contact points and abrasions. I found it extremely comfortable for multi-day trips with 40 lb loads. Much more than 40 lbs and the suspension felt a little mushy. Good reason for not trying to carry the kitchen sink. There are so many nice little details about this pack—from the easy access water bottle pockets to the removable floating lid. And the pack holds a lot, both in the main compartment, the back pockets, and the tool loops. The main reason I like the pack is the fit, though. With packs, one size doesn’t fit all, so this pack comes in 3 sizes, each with adjustments for torso and waist so that you can really get the fit just right. And once the fit is right, the load rides comfortably.
