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 love my Kakwa 55. I've taken it on three trips now for a total of 11 nights weighing between 10 and 25lbs. My one complaint is that the only part of the bag that is wide enough for a BV500 is the roll top. Since my bear can is usually the heaviest part of my loadout it would be more ideal for it t

Shimoda is garbage for any real hiking with heavy gear. That is not a real frame pack (I have one). I use a 65l Osprey atmos- you can get sleeves or inserts for camera gear and dump whatever you want in it. Night and day compared to any camera bag. You can get a big insert from peak design or simila

I've owned an Osprey Aether 60, an Atmos 65 and a Zpacks Arc Air Robic. The Aether was very comfortable but I utilized REI generous return policy at the end of the season to swap to the Atmos. Love the harness system, air Gap, and weight carrying ability of this pack and still have it for those reas

Durston is absolutely unparalleled in customer support. If you search any Reddit thread or anywhere for that matter you’ll see nothing but raving reviews for their customer service. I’ve seen instances where Durston will overnight ship replacement gear to thruhikers at their next resupply point afte

Osprey Atmos AG 50. 50L was plenty for a 3-day traverse carrying food and a full camp setup. Super comfortable Anti-Grav frame under load and stable on the steep ridgeline climbs. Salomon XT-6, Ran these for the entire traverse. Good grip on steep sections and handled the mix of dense bush, mud, and

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

I use an Osprey Atmos AG LT 65 without the brain because I run hot and like having the ventilation. It has the same trampoline back as the full weight AG but with less pockets and fewer adjustment options that aren't necessary for me. It weighs 3.5 lbs or so without the brain, right in between the t

Nu am mers pe munte cu osprey încă, doar le-am testat în magazine cu greutate în ele. Ce pot să zic e ca sunt cam overpriced pentru ce oferă. Cel pe care l-aș fi luat este osprey atmos ag parcă, ce avea acel mesh 3d floating bla bla. Chiar se simțea super bine în spate și la brâu. În schimb am optat
