Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

I’m a 63 year old who loves the outdoors and wanted the best, multi-day/weekend, highly functional and durable backpack within reasonable cost. I’m not doing thru-hikes so a heavier but durable pack was my goal. 2021 brought the new Aether 65 vs the older Atmos 65, both of which were my leading candidates. I settled on the older Atmos 65 because of the very positive YouTube reviews and the fantastic price just recently posted on Amazon in February, 2021....$239.00 brand new! My Atmos came today and to my surprise, it DID come with an included rainfly! Note that rain fly’s do not normally come with the Atmoses? The medium is a 65 liter pack weighing in at 4.56 lbs, so it’s no ultralight. But here’s why I settled on the Atmos 65: 1. Anti-Gravity suspension/harness system - makes it feel like you’re carrying less weight than you actually are. 2. Durable & Flawless construction - heavy duty quality zippers, durable outer material, and overall build (like a tank!) 3. Great pockets & just the right amount of storage - 2 external storage pockets on the front of the pack is a winner! Also, trekking pole and dual ice axe lashings. 4. Dual side pockets are large/deep enough to fit a full-sized, Grayl water filter flask. 5. Removable brain and integral weather flap. 6. Included rain fly & dedicated rain fly pocket. - You can also use this pocket for other item storage while stashing the rain fly somewhere else if you wish. 7. The high vis, neon green interior provides great contrast when looking for items in low-light conditions. 8. Osprey’s Almighty guarantee, lifetime warranty - 2nd to none! Conclusion: Although an older design, it is a proven pack with hundreds of satisfied users. It is a highly durable pack which will no doubt, stand the test of time. This is the best multi-day backpack, ever, imho!

There is nothing not to like about this osprey pack. Lightweight. Super resilient hold shape, and antigravity. System is amazing!

Best hiking back I’ve owned. Light weight, pockets galore, and can accommodate any style bladder. I put a spare 100oz camelback bladder in this Osprey pack, and it’s perfect. That said, I did knock one star because it did not come with a bladder from Osprey.

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.

Cmon guys, weve all seen it. The yoga pants girl on the trail swinging her arms back and forth only carrying a water bottle talking about how warm it is....then the sweaty guy wheezing behind her trying to keep up as hes weighed down with all the gear in the backpack...which is 80% her stuff that probably wont even be used the entire time you are hiking...Thats me, Im the sweaty guy. So youd better believe Im going to spend whatever I have to on a pack that makes my pack mule job bearable. This may be overkill for a normal day hiker that only puts on about 10-20 miles a hike. My last backpack was made for going to school rather than hiking. It sat flat against my back so no air could get in there which made for a pretty gross situation. Every time we took a break and I took it off I dreaded the soggy wet thing getting placed back on me. This pack is much better in that way. It has a nice breathable mesh in the back that allows a pretty decent air flow. My biggest worry now is that with the extra room in this pack my wife might find more useless crap for me to haul around....

Superb fit and ultimate comfort especially for longer treks over many days

Hard to adjust for maximum comfort with out professional help

We were looking at the same backpack at REI and it was $40 cheaper to purchase on Amazon. Is the exact same as what we wanted.
