Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

I love this pack so far. Im an entry level backpacker and I used this to pack all my things amd it fot them perfectly. I dont have any expensive ultra light or ultra compact gear and this still accommodated me perfectly fine on my trip. Would recommend. I found the pouches very convienent.

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.

Right size for 3 to 5 day hikes and is very comfortable

Love everything about my pack. Great product, great company, excellent warranty. What a wonderful upgrade to what I had been using.

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

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

Decided to upgrade my pack for year 2 on the Appalachian Trail and this pack was amazing! Felt like it was half the weight of my previous pack. Very durable, there is a reason Osprey is considered top of the line. Didnt realize it when I bought it but the lifetime warranty is very comforting to know too. Would absolutely purchase again!

Hard to adjust for maximum comfort with out professional help

I dont understand why theres so many good reviews. This backpack is an overpriced stuff sack. I was highly disappointed. If you need to access something you loaded into the main compartment first, you basically have to unpack everything. This quickly becomes an ordeal. Also, the main compartment feels so slim. I was surprised that with the 65liter model. Everyone like it because of the aintigravity stuff, but this is little importance compared to the overall design. The gregory baltoro on the other hand is much nicer and fixes these flaws

Buying a highly related $270 backpack, I naively thought it would a decent all-arounder. Turns out that its really bad at handling loads heavier than 40+- lbs. Did a 4 days 40 miles loop in the Cascades. First day was bearable, but by the second I had shoulder and neck pain and my skin around both sides of my hips almost started bleeding (see photo). Im not a novice to backpacking, nor am I a thin guy; the load really wasnt that heavy but, the suspension system on this backpack prioritizes ventilation over ergonomics and long-distance hauling ability. There are many great things about it so I might keep it for short, summer time overnight trips - as the ventilation system does work quite well - but would never depend on it for 4-5 days trips.
