Osprey Atmos AG 65 Mens Backpacking Backpack

Most comfortable pack with a several pockets to stay organized! The Anti Gravity system does make a balanced load seem lighter with less back sweat!

This is a lightweight large capacity internal frame pack for men. The pack is made of nylon and nylon dobby. Empty, size medium weighs 4 lbs 6 oz. The pack is loaded with pockets, top to bottom. The floating lid is removable and has 2 pockets; if you remove it from the main pack you can use it as a fanny pack. If you remove the floating lid, there is an internal flap (flapjacket) to keep rain from coming in the top of the pack. The main compartment of the pack has a sleeping bag compartment at the bottom with a removable divider. In the center front of the pack is a mesh pocket for carrying quick access gear (raingear, spare flipflops), with 2 more pockets behind it. The hip belt also has 2 small zippered pockets. There are mesh water bottle pockets on either side of the pack with dual openings, one regular at the top for vertical carries, and one angled so that you can grab your bottle (or whatever) with the pack on your back. The pack also includes a hydration sleeve and port that will accommodate a 3 liter water reservoir (sold separately). There is a heavy-duty carry loop on top of the pack, pole attachments on the straps, tool attachments on the main compartment, and removable sleeping bag/mat straps. There are also upper and lower compression straps. The pack is mesh-ventilated in the back, has a hip belt and a sternum belt with an integrated whistle. The internal frame can be adjusted for torso height and the hip belt for waist size. Zipper pulls are molded plastic loops. The pack is rated for 30-50 lb loads. The pack is backed by the Osprey lifetime warranty. This is a really comfortable pack for moderately heavy loads. It spreads the weight out evenly and suspends it to minimize uncomfortable contact points and abrasions. I found it extremely comfortable for multi-day trips with 40 lb loads. Much more than 40 lbs and the suspension felt a little mushy. Good reason for not trying to carry the kitchen sink. There are so many nice little details about this pack—from the easy access water bottle pockets to the removable floating lid. And the pack holds a lot, both in the main compartment, the back pockets, and the tool loops. The main reason I like the pack is the fit, though. With packs, one size doesn’t fit all, so this pack comes in 3 sizes, each with adjustments for torso and waist so that you can really get the fit just right. And once the fit is right, the load rides comfortably.

I have hiked over 100 miles using this pack since I purchased it in 2019. I have no complaints about it.

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.

Great fit lightweight durable

Absolutely impressed by the fit and function of this pack. I recently completed a 12mi Hike with 5L of water and all of my gear (35lbs+) and the Osprey Atmos 65AG made it comfortable. The hip and shoulder straps are so robust that they take all of the load off the shoulders. The AG system keeps the pack off the back and allows your back to breathe. Pockets and gear ties are convenient and plentiful. Hip pockets are large and perfectly placed unless you have a larger waist. The lower side pockets stretch and are perfect for water bottles, rain jacket or any ready access item. This pack has too many features but the rain cover is sold separately. The lifetime warranty that Osprey offers is a game changer for this already amazing product.

I noticed improvements right away. The mesh pocket has stronger material. There are more adjustments like for my torso length. The way the straps are spaced is a wider swoop for my wide shoulders. The kidney pads will adjust to fit better, too. It’s all about comfort when you are wearing 50lbs of stuff on your back. The only thing I wish is that it came with a sticker. Anyone know how I can get an Osprey sticker?!?

quick adjust waist belt system failed after two uses. The Velcro no longer holds the adjustment pads in, so when you tighten the belt they just slide out. Terrible design.

awesome pack. Went to REI first to try it on and get sized correctly. 3 day, 15 mile camping trip in Georgia. Performed superior to any other pack Ive used.
