My Review of Osprey Atmos 65 Pack

Originally submitted at REI

Turning heads once again, the redesigned, lightweight Osprey Atmos 65 backpack now rests closer to the back while still providing unsurpassed ventilation.


Comfortable pack to HWP hikers

4out of 5

Pros: Good Padding, Good Suspension, Large Capacity, Easy To Load, Lightweight, Comfortable

Best Uses: Travel, Extended Hikes, Heavy Loads

Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer

What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist

Was this a gift?: No

This is a big, spacious, and comfortable pack. I'm struggling with the fit due to excessive weight gain. The waist strap keeps slipping lower in an attempt to sit below my belly, which pulls the shoulder straps downward, thus more of the load is on my shoulders. This isn't an issue unless you're on a long hike or have a heavy load.

Osprey is on the expensive side, but the craftsmanship and attention to detail is worth the money.
