Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

Best pack Ive ever owned and Ive been backpacking for 41 years. Not an ultralight pack but certainly considered a light pack. Great storage. Purchased the Osprey 3L water bladder separately. The anti-gravity system AG provides an exceptional fit. I have the large which is 70L. I downsized from a 95L pack to bring less stuff and shave weight. Im 62 and weigh 205 lbs. I expect to use this pack for the next 5 years. Enjoy!

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.

Amazing pack. Make sure you measure torso before buying. Tons of room but almost 5Lbs

The anti-gravity tech works really well and the bag has pockets in all the right places. I especially like the front side harness pockets that are like mini fanny packs and the two back side pockets that offer a lot of space with easy access.

Great pack, squeaks a little bit super nice for 3-4 night trips.

I used to work The North Face, so I have lots of their gear, but I have always heard people rave about the comfort of Osprey backpacks. So, I decided to treat my 57 y/o body to a new bag. I have not used it yet, but the quality appears to be fantastic. I will go to my local sporting goods store and have it properly fitted (they did not have them in store, said that they would fit it to me if I purchased it elsewhere).

Great comfortable, light pack. The anti-gravity suspension system works and breathes well. Occasional squeaking but nothing particularly noteworthy. Abundant space to overpack, so I need to check myself with a scale. Love the fact the top is detachable, but do consider if opting to leave it at home that the pack’s folded-up rain cover lives there. This pack travels as well as you pack it. The first trip I took felt awful because I had the weight distributed all wrong-- heavy stuff (tent) hanging off the bottom, stuff strapped to the outside, and 1.5L nalgenes stuffed into the side pockets. After shedding an unnecessary 15 lbs and redistributing the load, my joy factor doubled. WARNING: I have a 33/34 waist. The belt is actually TOO BIG for me on the Large sized pack. Im going to need to gain some weight, lolz, or find a way to buffer my hips. Two days into a backpacking trip, and the Atmos AG 65 was slipping down my backside. Really think things through carefully if youre on the M / L sizing boundary. Caveat: Last backpack I purchased was an early 1980s Jansport external frame model... when I was a pre-teen.

Picked this up for a backpacking trip. First time backpacking. Carried about 30-35lbs using the 65L pack over about 25 miles of ground. Pack is absolutely top shelf all the way. Great pocket placement. Intuitive design. Loved the mesh back to keep your back cool. Nothing put praise for this pack. The people I traveled with, all seasoned and salty hikers, had heard of Osprey but never used their stuff. They were also impressed. I would pick up the extra Osprey rain cover for this. It takes up no space, weighs nothing, and totally covers the pack. Its not very expensive, and well worth the addition.

Most comfortable pack with a several pockets to stay organized! The Anti Gravity system does make a balanced load seem lighter with less back sweat!

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!!!
