Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

I use this backpack almost every weekend for many miles of hiking and climbing approaches. It can easily fit multiple climbing ropes, all my gear, food, water, and supplies. The many pockets make it easy to get some organization going and easily pull out specific things later on. The straps are the best in the business, and make a 60 lb load a lot more bearable. It has taken some minor external rips on the outside which I fixed with duct tape. Everything else like straps and zippers have virtually no damage even after scraping against countless rocks and trees. Given the amount of punishment this backpack has endured, Im pretty sure I can expect at least 5-10 years of solid use.

Great company and bags, wish they came with rain cover

This backpack is great. The web on the back keeps you cool while hiking, the straps provide ample support around the waist and chest. I’d suggest trying any pack on in person (I did at REI before purchasing) to get an idea of fit and comfort. This bag has an adjustable frame for taller people (I am 6’1” and it fit great). The lumbar strap has pockets which can fit a good amount of things. I wore this with a water bladder and comfort / space was still great.

Build feels really good, pockets all seem useful in size and placement. But the highlight of this pack is the comfort. its mesh back is ridiculously breathable, and the straps distribute the weight perfectly. The only complaint I can think of is that the rain fly is sold separately (and I new that when I bought it.)

I bought an Osprey Atmos over a decade ago and it went through hundreds of miles and rough trips. It was very durable and reliable. I bought another one because though I shopped around and tried many different brands of backpacks of a similar size, nothing beats the comfort of the mesh back support of this internal frame back. I sweat a lot on my back and this really helps keep the weight off the back and allows it to breathe. Many other backpacks have good padding, but they still made me sweat a lot. This updated model also had easily adjustable shoulder straps to adjust for torso height--a great improvement over its previous model. It has a good amount of space, straps, and clips to hold all the gear inside and out, is well made and durable. I know its pricier than the others, but it is with good reason.

I am so so happy and satisfied. This backpack is just amazing, weight distribution is just a Dream, with other backpacks over the years I used to feel discomfort on the right side of my body, why? I don’t know, but with my Atmos is like a dream, I don’t feel any discomfort after hiking 5 miles or more. Also the anti-gravity technology is amazing, my back is always aired out (I cannot day dry since I sweat a lot) The water compartment reservoir is very useful and nice to have that option. The only thing I think I would add is a rain cover, some other packs come with it, this rain cover is an extra 37 dollars, but I guess is part of the business model of the company. So far I will recommend those product to anyone who wants a great backpack

Bought this pack to replace my first atmos. First one carried me through my triple crown and I decided to retire it. Loved it so much I wouldnt get anything else. Its light but not ultralight, which also means its more durable. Show me a dyneema pack that has pulled a triple and Ill introduce you to a yellow blazer. Osprey customer service is amazing.

I bought an REI 60 Lts backpack but realized it’s not a good option for a beginner like me. Ended up buying this backpack and this is PERFECT!!!

Using it for overnight hiking. Good pack but it is squeaky.
