I bought this a month ago for an 8 day trip in Yosemite. I was particularly excited about the breathability of the AG system, and was hoping for no more sweaty back!In order to fit that much food I carried a bear vault BV500. I was very pleased that this fit horizontally inside the pack. It took up a ton of room, but I was able to get a two person tent plus all my other items without to much trouble.I have a fairly lightweight set of gear, but with the bear can fully loaded, a few litres of water and a liter of bourbon, the total weight approached 40 lbs.At that weight I couldn't seem to keep the frame from digging into the back of my hip bones. After two days of eating (and drinking bourbon) this completely resolved. The remainder of the trip the pack was the ... MoreI bought this a month ago for an 8 day trip in Yosemite.

The remainder of the trip the pack was the most comfortable I have ever worn.An awesome pack for shorter trails, or people who are a little more strict about being lightweight. Just be aware that when you push its weight limit it gets ouchy!

Thinking this was an upgrade to the exos with the mesh back panel let me say this about that. First off the hip belt is a real pain as it jams in your crotch when you’re lifting and shouldering the pack- tried to figure a remedy but no luck. Then i developed a burning irritation on my glutes that was only increasing no matter how i tried different adjustments until it came to the point i could no longer carry the pack because of the pain. Now here i am with an unusable piece of equipment many miles into the wilderness. Out came the knife and started to cut the elastic and under lying tension mesh on the lumbar support. Seems the way the frame curves and the elastic causes un natural pressure points that immediately were relieved when cut loose and then was able to ... MoreThinking this was an upgrade to the exos with the mesh back panel let me say this about that.

Hopefully they will send it to Osprey R and D so they can ask themselves why it was cut loose and remedy the problem.

I've just received the pack after much deliberation. I went to the MEC in Vancouver while on a work trip and spent about 2 hours in there trying on the various packs. Knowing I'll spend many hours wearing this I wanted to be sure it sat correctly, was comfortable and had all the space I'd need.I test packed it with a sleeping bag, pad, tent, stove, etc. just to get a sense of space and it will be more than able to fit my clothes and food and other miscellaneous supplies for my hiking adventures. It has the standard water reservoir space and good sized external pockets and pouches for water bottles, and other gear you want to keep handy.I appreciate the nicely padded harness and belts and the fact that the mesh keeps the bag directly off my back to allow air flow ... MoreI've just received the pack after much deliberation.

And this all aligns with the many reviews and youtube videos I've ingested over the past month or so to help me come to my decision.I'm 6'2" and 220 lbs, and the large fits me nicely, sitting on my hips properly and allowing good range of motion when loaded up.

**NOTE: This review is for the older-gen Atmos AG 65**I'm reviewing the older generation Atmos AG 65 but this review should hold up (at least as well as the pack).I purchased this after reading the reviews in Backpacker magazine to replace an ancient Gregory 5500 that had served its purpose but needed to be relegated to "Bug Out Bag" status. Here's what I've learned in the more than seven years of using my Atmos AG 65:Pros:- This pack truly holds you like a dance partner should. The anti-gravity "frame" makes it easy to move your entire pack with you, which comes in handy in the Idaho mountains when you're scrambling either on top of or under felled trees.- Plenty of storage for multi-day hikes, but the load-cinching straps make it easy to use this for an ... More**NOTE: This review is for the older-gen Atmos AG 65**I'm reviewing the older generation Atmos AG 65 but this review should hold up (at least as well as the pack).I purchased this after reading the reviews in Backpacker magazine to replace an ancient Gregory 5500 that had served its purpose but needed to be relegated to "Bug Out Bag" status.

Main compartment, while just a big hole to put stuff in, is fine.- Internal reservoir sleeve is useful but if hiking where water is plentiful, the ability to ditch the bladder and use the two exterior stretch mesh bottle pockets (that you can actually reach while hiking) is sublime.- Don't want to use all 65L? You can ditch the lid and use the top flap as the new lid (even has buckle closures to do this!)- Hip belt is secure and the entire pack rests comfortably on your hips as this pack understands weight distribution far better than I do.Non-dealbreakers that subsequent iterations have either addressed or should:- Need stretchy mesh hip belt pockets (I think the newer-gens have them)- Shoulder strap needs a mesh pocket (I know this has been added--nice work by Osprey) to stash your phone, GPS, etc.Overall, this pack is great for a number of reasons, but the fit, distribution, durability (looks like I got it from REI yesterday after all these years and many, many hikes in rain, snow, and sunshine), and attention to detail make it, in my opinion, the best the market has to offer for the non-ultralighter.
I am currently hiking the appalachian trail. I sit at mile 145 eating breakfast on cheoah bald and my pack is toast. In about 70 miles the hip and should straps stretched out and i can no longer cinch either down to be snug where they need to be. The height adjustment for the shoulder straps is a good idea but in practice at the lowest setting i cannot bring them down far enough to touch my shoulders unless the hip pads compress around my hips limiting mobility. I am 5’11”- this pack should fit me fine. The plastic buckles to hold down the brain wore out and wont stay clipped so the brain now sits in my backpack. I have had two osprey bags before. Both exos 58 that i got rid of after several years of hard use. I liked the sipper pockets on the outside of this pack ... MoreI am currently hiking the appalachian trail.

This is the worst $340 ive ever spent on backpacking and will not be buying another new osprey. Their quality has gone to that of a small daypack. This is pathetic.
Good pack, not great, but good, and if you consider the outrageous price, good does not cut it for such a high price tag. Yes, the AG system is a gimmick even though it does add some comfort by shifting most of the weight onto your hip.Regarding the size: got a Medium. I use a OneTigris baker's tent (A-frame), which does not pack down small. So when I put that in the pack, it leaves only 50% of the volume available for food, clothes, and gear, which means that the effective volume I have available is 65L / 2 = 32.5 L and I still can carry enough dried food for 4 days, a cantine to boil water, and 2 t-shirst, 2 boxers, 2 pairs of socks, a rain shell, a sweater in the Summer, and a goose down ThermaRest sleeping bag. The ThermaRest pad goes on the outside. I wear ... MoreGood pack, not great, but good, and if you consider the outrageous price, good does not cut it for such a high price tag.

The ThermaRest pad goes on the outside. I wear the pants. But it's tight. I suspect that if you carry a 1-person dome tent or bivy tent, you'll have enough room left to add more food to last 7 days.Read the other reviews as they pretty much cover everything I was going to say. But main take-away: Way too expensive and in this case, you don't get what you pay for, that is to say, overpriced.
PROs:Excellent at spreading the weight and balance of the load.Very comfortable IF you like the waistbelt to be hugging your hips. It is quite restrictive mounting the pack when fully loaded (15kg) as the waistbands are hard to stretch open to seat the pack and hold the shoulder straps at the same time.Lots of accessible pockets and stash zones. I am sure I will make good use of them as I get used to the pack.CONsNot so sure about the beefiness of the strap buckles; they seem quite flimsy against the ruggedness of the pack. Time will tell, but will custom fit better buckles in the future to assist with opening and closing with winter gloves.Not convinced yet with the floating lid. If you remove the lid (to save weight?) then you can only rely on the drawcord ... MorePROs:Excellent at spreading the weight and balance of the load.Very comfortable IF you like the waistbelt to be hugging your hips.

If you remove the lid (to save weight?) then you can only rely on the drawcord for main compartment closure )not water resistant) . If the top lid could be modified to be used as a bumbag then this would be an additional benefit.
Overall not too impressed. The pack is pretty comfortable in the suggested weight range of 30-40 pounds, but for how heavy it is, it should be able to hold more weight. I'd trade this for the Aether or equivalent Gregory. When climbing Mount Rainier, I unintentionally had to help carry more of my groups gear, once over or close to the 40 pound limit, the frame would dig into my back (a huge negative). Why there isn't padding on the lower back portion of pack is beyond me. The mesh backing does ventilate well and the green color looks good, so it has that going for it. If the frame didn't dig into my back and it could handle 50 pounds, I'd keep it.
So a little too early for a feedback because i haven’t officially used the pack yet. Just very impressed with how well this pack can handle 30pounds and how comfortable i am carrying that much weight. It can hold a max of 40pounds according to its manual. I walked around rei after being fitted and having the 30 loaded in. I spent a good while looking around steeping and doing all kinds of movements. After all that i was a little tired naturally as I’ve never done it before but felt like i could of worn the pack for a few hours straight with no issues. The construction is very durable so far and the ease of packing is amazing. I used to use a traditional styled military 62l. This one is a 65l. And the traditional bag was so terrible and would sag super low. Many ... MoreSo a little too early for a feedback because i haven’t officially used the pack yet.

And the traditional bag was so terrible and would sag super low. Many issues with it. But this atmos bag is absolutely incredible. Ive packed a few things in it so far. A 4pound 4 season ip tent. A blanket and some eating dishes. Next is finding a good pad pillow and some other small items i feel necessary. I have a decent amount of gear already but meet to fine tune and lighten up with the new pack. Only because i want to be more efficient. Highly recommend and encourage to look around and try out everything available to you at your local shop. Rei is very helpful and i talked with a few workers and customers about their experience and what they prefer. Amazing experience for sure. Thank you the bag is adjustable on the fly. Torso and waisted so if needed you can literally mach the adjustments on the fly with the pack on and in mid/full trekking without taking it off or stopping to do so. The airspeed anti gravity frame system on this pack is amazing. Cooling sensation from the amazing construction will ensure you stay comfortable with hot weather.
