Atmos AG 65L

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 can suggest the, Osprey Stratos 24 or 34 L, Deuter futura 25 or 32 L. I like the adjustability of the Osprey packs more then the non adjustable frames of the Deuter packs. But it makes them a bit more bulky. For backpacking I really love my Osprey atmos ag 65. While heavier then the exos models it

I have a Osprey Atmos 65L I use for winter backpacking. I've used it on shorter warm weather trips where I go full-hog on comfort and bring a lot of stuff. It might be overkill for a simple overnight but I don't think you'd be miserable.

I'm not the best person for someone on a low budget. I tend to pick the 'top shelf' items (the 'buy once, cry once' camp). But... if I were to recommend some items for a couple getting started with not-big budget... Tent: (shit - there is basically no 3-person backpacking tent under $300 retail that

Nailed it. I love my glorified dry sack of a backpack with super wide and cushy vest style shoulder straps. So much more comfortable than my original Osprey Atmos AG.

From all of my heart I recommend Osprey and Deuter backpacks. You won't get wrong with them, just choose the right model for you - every model has its own purpose. One thing to add from me - I think both brands have, let's say - ultralight and normal versions of the similar model. Ultralight models

Osprey Atmos 65 or Gregory Baltoro are classic long distance picks, super comfortable for heavy loads and adjustable. If you want lighter, Hyperlite Southwest is amazing but pricey.

I use the Osprey Atmos AG 50 and I love it, super comfy, makes heavy loads not feel as heavy, loads of features like water bladder compartment, 2 side bottle holder that are accessible from the side and top, ice pick and pole attachments, stuff it pocket, 2 hip belt pockets and so much more. The bag

Yeah, out of all the packs I tried with 30 lbs, the Osprey Atmos ag “felt” the lightest. I think part of it was how well it transferred weight to my hips.
