Atmos AG 65L

I had this same issue on an old atmos. After investigating i found that a small loop/strap inside the back panel that held the rods in place had broken. Under light loads i couldnt feel it due to the mesh but it would poke through enough with a heavy pack to dig into my back. I contacted Osprey thro

If you like the comfort fit of the Osprey but would prefer to avoid the sweaty back problem with the ultralight packs consider the Exos 58. It comes in under 3 lbs and has a max load capacity of 40 lbs. So it's a nice middle ground between the Atmos and a sub 2 lb ultra light pack. I personally use

If it’s an Osprey Atmos AG it’s a manufacturer defect covered under warranty. Mine has always squeaked and I thought it was the way I packed until I ran into a review from someone else with the same complaint. I just had my 5 year old Atmos replaced for free.

Comfortable packs come in all weights and "features." For example, my GG Mariposa is much more comfortable than my Osprey Atmos was. You just need a pack that fits you well. And then, the lighter everything is, the more comfortable it will be.

Is it though? Let's put this assertion to the bare minimum of fact checking Mainstream backpack - Osprey Atmos 65 (classic REI choice): 370 UL backpack - MLD Prophet (also a classic): 245 in Ultragrid OK maybe backpack was a bad choice. Let's look at shelters. Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 - 500 XMid 1

I am not gentle with my pack, and my Osprey Atmos has seen probably close to 600 miles, dozens of nights just outside of my tent, and it is still just as comfortable as when I bought it, barely shows any wear, and I am confident it will get me at least another 600 miles, likely more.

I used to rock an Atmos 65, and liked it a lot. It was very comfortable, even at high loads over 40 lbs. I hiked hundreds of miles in one last year. However, one big thing with those packs is the frame squeak. I went through 3 of them, and they all squeaked to varying degrees- which depending on you

I have used Osprey packs in the past and currently use the Kakwa 55. My partner has an Eja. We just did a 6 day trip. In my experience, the Kakwa carried the weight (I think heaviest was up to ~18k / 40lbs) really well. I don't mind the risk of a sweaty back because, for me, the trade-offs in the tr

I wish I had taken a comprehensive approach to buying gear instead of just buying one item at a time. Before buying even one gear item, I should have set my total budget and maximum total weight. I would have saved a lot of money and also some weight. I often see beginners making the same mistake. E

I'd reiterate that the point of ultralight is actually comfort. To some minor degree, you're prioritizing "hiking comfort" over "camp comfort," but with a well-tuned kit, you're really not making any meaningful sacrifices in camp comfort, either. The problem is that people don't want to tune their k
