Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

Got this for my husband for our overnight trip to Mount Whitney. He loves it. Adjustable, keeps weight off his back, and good storage. We might have gone up bigger If we did it again for storage, but since I carry one too it worked out.

Absolutely impressed by the fit and function of this pack. I recently completed a 12mi Hike with 5L of water and all of my gear (35lbs+) and the Osprey Atmos 65AG made it comfortable. The hip and shoulder straps are so robust that they take all of the load off the shoulders. The AG system keeps the pack off the back and allows your back to breathe. Pockets and gear ties are convenient and plentiful. Hip pockets are large and perfectly placed unless you have a larger waist. The lower side pockets stretch and are perfect for water bottles, rain jacket or any ready access item. This pack has too many features but the rain cover is sold separately. The lifetime warranty that Osprey offers is a game changer for this already amazing product.

I give this pack 4 stars only because i havent gone on a long hike yet. But it is really comfortable. The suspension is great and lets your back breath. The straps are wide and cushioned which makes it very comfortable. If youre planning a long hike osprey packs are the best. No sense in getting a light oack that has thin skinny straps, no pockets. And you just end up adding pockets defeating the reason you got it in the first place.

I got this pack in early 2020 and took it on several trips ranging from 20 to 40 miles in length. I’ve used several backpacks over the years in the scouts and hiking for over a decade as an adult (read: big kid). This is, hands down, the best fitting and most comfortable pack that I’ve ever used. Period. As long as you stay within the recommended weight range, this thing feels like you’re carrying twenty pounds less that you’re actually are. The waist straps are thick and very well padded, the shoulder straps as well. It’s very easy to adjust to fit your exact body shape and does an incredible job of spreading the load across your body and transferring down to your hips. It’s fairly light weight, even if not ultralight, and seems quite durable. I’d argue it’s worth every ounce, even if you’re aiming for ultralight otherwise. You just can’t beat the comfort it affords! I run hot and tend to sweat profusely when packing in any climate just from moving so much- like drenched back levels of sweat. So I was fascinated by the mesh back suspension and the prospect of better airflow to keep my back dry... Overall it works rather well! I still build up some moisture but I no longer have to stop and air out my back to keep comfortable. This was really nice during colder trips when that extra sweat really saps your body heat when you stop for a break.

The Osprey Atmos 65 is the go to pack for 5 day backpacking trips in my group. Its well designed and built. Carry capacity is spot on for 5 days out in the back country (depending on what you bring). I cant see myself ever using another pack. This is actually my 2nd atmos 65. The first one is 5 years old, has been on multiple trips and shows no wear/tear issues. I just got this one because blue is the best color and i wanted blue. Its worth a bit more to have a pack that will last you years.

My boyfriend LOVES this pack! He tried a few other competitor brands but this one fits best and looks good to top it off. He says the best part is the back of the pack never actually touches your back because of the netted support system. Great because he sweats a lot! Just make sure you buy the correct size! Osprey has a great size chart that you can use and with a little help from a friend and a tape measure, you can determine your ideal pack size for your height/waist. He is 5’10 150lb and the medium is perfect.

Osprey AG65 may not be the cheapest backpack on the market but is by far the best most comfortable pack Ive owned yet. I havent had a chance to really put it through its paces yet but Im very confident its going to handle the job quite well.

Just know if you buy this thing, people will think you know what youre doing. Thats usually a bad thing. Lmao

Osprey makes a great, comfortable pack. I use this pack now more than my 36 liter stratos. Lots of room for my kind of cold weather hiking. Have not been backpacking with it yet. And, I waited awhile and got a good buy on it.

This is a great pack. Every things is well made. Don’t put over 40lbs in the pack or your shoulders will hurt.
