Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

Light, lots of storage pockets, adjustable fit

I bought this backpack due to the solid reviews. This past weekend I got the chance to take the pack out for the first time - to Mount Whitney. I could fit a lot of stuff into the pack and it felt really comfortable when adjusted correctly. My big issue is that there is a terrible squeak that comes from the shoulder straps and the hip-belt with every step. It is super distracting and become downright annoying after a while - especially as you just want to hike in the wilderness with no annoying sounds. I checked out reviews after I got back and it turns out that this pack has always had an issue with squeaking. There is a post by an REI rep from 2018, where they claim that they fixed the issue with the packs from that year onwards. However, going by my experience and reading other reviews, it seems they have not fixed the issue ... or it is a QC issue. Some folks dont seem to have this problem. If you buy one, then just make sure you load it up as you would for your camping trip and walk around a bit to ensure that you dont have the squeak. For me personally, Osprey has had enough time to work on this, but it seems they havent been able to address this issue. For $270 before taxes, this pack is expensive - everything about it screams quality, other than this squeak. If Osprey fixed this issue, it would easily be a 5 star product.

This backpack got me through a very difficult back packing trip. If your on the fence about spending this much a pack, just remember that your back will thank you for going with quality. Just make sure you get fitted for it at a place like REI before you purchase. Im 61 and the medium fit like a glove

Just know if you buy this thing, people will think you know what youre doing. Thats usually a bad thing. Lmao

Just returned from a 60 mile, back country Montana trip. Bag was fantastic, comfortable, and breathable. Many adjustments to fine tune fitting. Great storage and organization. Only complaint (which is very common) is the zipper situation, especially on the hip pockets. They are nearly impossible to open and close with one hand, which is frustrating considering these pockets are designed to be accessed with one hand on the go. Other than that, the bag is awesome!

I give this pack 4 stars only because i havent gone on a long hike yet. But it is really comfortable. The suspension is great and lets your back breath. The straps are wide and cushioned which makes it very comfortable. If youre planning a long hike osprey packs are the best. No sense in getting a light oack that has thin skinny straps, no pockets. And you just end up adding pockets defeating the reason you got it in the first place.

This is my first legitimate hiking pack. This bag is simply amazing and fits like a glove. It takes a little learning on how to pack it properly so you can make room for everything. I have the north face furnace 20 degree sleeping bag and it fits snug into the sleeping bag compartment.

Zaino eccellente, lo schienale è veramente comodo una volta regolato, le tasche sono ben organizzate, i materiali sembrano veramente ottimi. Fantastico il gancio per i bastoni sullo spallaccio sinistro, consente di non dover continuamente togliere lo zaino o chiedere aiuto ai compagni di viaggio. Le tasche laterali per le borracce sono accessibili facilmente avendo doppia apertura, sia verso lo schienale che verso lalto. Lunico possibile difetto è che è a carico dallalto, cosa abbastanza comune ma, a mio avviso, un po noiosa quando si deve prendere qualcosa che non è in cima alla pila. Comoda lapertura inferiore con divisorio che mi consente di riporre la mia attrezzatura fotografica in un compartimento ad accesso rapido, è pensata per il sacco a pelo ma io preferisco usarla per avere rapido accesso a fotocamera e lenti. Lo schienale è fantastico, lascia traspirare la schiena e garantisce una giusta distribuzione del peso. La tasca interna per la sacca idrica alloggia tranquillamente unità da 2L, credo anche da 3L ma non ho provato (la 2L ci sta larga quindi non credo che quella da 3 dia problemi). Sul fronte presenta due tasche laterali nelle quali riporre oggetti a cui si vuole avere un accesso rapido, non sono enormi ma per cartine, fazzoletti e cose simili vanno benissimo. La tasca a mesh elastico frontale si chiude con una clip e può tranquillamente contenere la giacca waterproof per averla a disposizione in ogni momento. Il cappuccio è rimovibile e presenta due tasche, una più grande ed una più piccola, in questultima è presente la clip per agganciare le chiavi e, di default, il copri zaino per la pioggia (che però io ho spostato in una tasca frontale) comunque necessario solo in caso di acquazzoni prolungati visto che lo zaino è comunque abbastanza idrorepellente essendo in tessuto tecnico. Sicuramente consigliato per uscite che richiedono un volume importante dello zaino, risulta però comodo anche se semi-vuoto una volta strette a dovere tutte le fasce di compressione. Non è economico ma il marchio è quasi una garanzia e lo zaino in sé vale la spesa.

Absolute best! Cant reccomend highly enough!!

Luckily I bought at REI so I had a year to return. This backpack carries weight excellent, and is designed very well. However for years people have been complaining about the squeaking frame and the hip belt zipper pockets being extraordinarily hard to open. This been going on for at least 10 YEARs and I guess osprey doesnt care about the well-known complaints of people. The only thing theyll do on their warranty is have you send it in AT YOUR EXPENSE and they somehow coat the frame or something to get the squeak out of it, which should have been done in the first place. And the hip belt pockets are also unacceptable. I cant recommend this product
