🎒 Osprey Packs Atmos Medium Backpack - Optimal for Backpacking Review

I have been hiking and climbing the mountains of New England for over 40 years. I have had and loved many backpacks, but the Osprey Atmos is by far the most comfortable and comfortable backpack I have ever owned. The open-mesh back frame not only withstands loads, but is also well ventilated (the back never gets wet). There are so many handy features like a "built-in" rain cover, hip belt pockets, and corner water bottle pockets (you can easily get your water bottle out while hiking) if you…

I used this backpack for 3 days in Nepal and recently on the Eagle Rock Trail (27 miles hiking). Antigravity works great. I didn't feel any weight on my shoulders. The shoulder straps are very soft and do not create any additional pressure. Doesn't come with the hydration pack but I bought it separately and put it in my bag which was a great solution. The overall quality of the bag is excellent and I would definitely recommend it to all backpackers. mentions the same issue) is that the main…

Without a doubt the best set. For those confused, this is the 2018 model. Visit the Osprey website and watch the sizing video and see the charts and measurements. Choose the right size and buy it already. Pay attention to the recommendation of an intermediate size. Once you have this thing you will be in heaven. DO NOT fiddle with cheap packages, grab the best and you're done! Other cheap backpack reviewers say they are on par, if not better, than the Osprey backpacks. Pfft, don't make me…

This review is for the 53 liter version which is the big size for the Atmos AG 50. My favorite feature is the waist belt pockets for storing your snacks. , sunscreen, lip balm, pocket knife, yo-to, troll doll, etc. for easy access without taking off your backpack. The anti-gravity system is handy, although it never completely lifted me off the ground. The mesh back was great and kept my back from sweating. The kit does NOT include a rain cover, so you need to purchase it separately. A regular…

If there's a problem with this kit and you bought it from a reseller like REI, you're probably fine. If you bought it direct from Osprey, you're screwed. Backpacks are primarily based on torso length. So if you are tall and thin, the hip belt will slide over your hips and you will bear all the weight on your hips. Shoulders. Not something you just paid $275 for! - Osprey Customer Service can't get rid of you fast enough. Rather than attempting to provide recommendations as to whether the…

Unsurpassed AG fit and comfort. This backpack allows me to carry my load more comfortably and for longer distances compared to some of the very popular UL backpacks. The Osprey is unlike any other backpack thanks to its anti-gravity suspension and ventilation. On some hikes I have to carry up to 7 liters of water (nearly 15 pounds) along with other gear. After 8 or 9 hours I'm still running no matter how heavy the backpack is. Try THAT with the Dynema Pack! Life is too short to be in pain on…

I did a lot of research on this because I was in the army and I had the lion's share of tactical bags that were made to withstand rough treatment. Everyone seems to lack consolation. I wanted a bag like this but didn't know where to start. Their sizing chart was spot on and when I loaded and buckled them up I felt like I could walk in them. The weight was perfectly distributed, and the anti-gravity feature doesn't work against me when I'm bouncing, which I was concerned about, but it actually…
