This pack is great, perfect for a weekend trip. The fit is great, the Airscape back panel keeps me cool while keeping the load evenly distributed. There are a lot of pockets and storage options. I love the hip belt pockets, they are great for snacks, GPS, maps, headlamp, or any other small item you need quick access to. The ice-axe loops are great for storing your trekking poles when you want them out of the way completely. The best part is Osprey's warranty, I had to replace some buckles and webbing that my dog decided to munch on. They where awesome! It was quick and easy, they didn't even charge me. You can't go wrong with Osprey!

I have a bad back, so when shopping for a multi-day pack I tried on plenty. I'm short, and skinny - using a Men's Small fitted by my local outdoor store suits me just perfect. My pack weight is about 18 pound for solo, closer to 26 if I'm with my wife. This pack holds the load well, and keeps my back from drowning in sweat. The pockets are plentiful and the bag feels very durable. I especially like the "stretchy" outer pocket, great for a pair of flip flops. The sleeping bag compartment makes it easy to cram my sleeping bag into the bottom of the pack in the morning.
Awesome pack

I have only used this pack once, but it was enough to convince me of it's superiority!
The air frame is super nice when it gets warm...say good bye to sweaty backs. My last pack was a 5+ pound dana design top loader with a fairly hefty hip belt. This pack's belt is much simpler but in no way does it sacrifice on comfort. Being that the pack weighs a scant 3.5 pounds sure helps too! Just picking it up while its empty, you have to wonder if it is going to hold up, and it does!
The curvature of the wireframe does make packing a little weird. Where the frame peaks out, it almost separates the load up and down sometimes causing tension in the outside pockets if you have it packed tight, but it is not really a problem.
Inserting the Camelbak bladder was a little difficult because the wireframe kind of squeezes the bladder in it's holder, but also, not a deal breaker.
The variety of pockets on the pack is super helpful for separating gear and making it easy to get out the things you need when you need them.
I am super happy with this guy!
Solid Purchase.

I was torn on whether or not to get this pack based on early reviews, but I'm really happy that I decided to give it a chance. This pack is one of the most comfortable long-range packs I've ever owned. I've only used it on a few trips so far, and it has really taken a beating on each of them but still looks brand new. Super durable materials and excellent design. One feature I didn't think I'd even care about but became my new best friend is the airspeed back panel. It not only adds comfort, but has excellent ventilation. Osprey packs did this one right!
Fantastic Pack

This is an incredible pack. Its super comfortable with its hip and shoulder pads. It has many outside pockets including a bottom zipper for a sleeping bag or extra access to your pack. It has a sturdy mesh back which allows for less sticking to your pack on hot days. Awesome pack

After spending this summer as a backpacking guide this summer leading 14 day trips, I can honestly say this pack is a trooper. I was able to carry everything I need for each trip inside the pack (pad, sleeping bag, water, clothes, and food) and still had room to spare. The pack has proven to be quite durable, holding up to catches on tree snags and rubs against rock. The padded hip belt and shoulder straps make the pack very comfortable and at full weight it is hardly noticeable. The back airspeed suspension is also great for preventing back sweat.
Older version = uncomfortable

Disclaimer: I own the 2010 version.
First of all, the good:
Love all of the thoughtful design features typical for an Osprey. Everything works as it should, and then some. Lots of storage, inside and out, and the mesh back panel works wonderfully for ventilation.
However, the bad part is probably the most important: comfort. The hip belt eventually digs into my hips after only 1 day of backpacking. Also, I have protruding SI joints, and the bottom of the back panel sits right on them. It is not a cushioned pad, but rather an extension of the mesh. After a day of hiking, my SI joints are rubbed raw.
It looks like Osprey has addressed these problems in their 2012 version, which is great! I'm sure the 2012 would be a 5 star pack for me.
Amazing.

I am a bigger guy (6' 2" 280 lbs.) and this pack fit me perfectly. This is one of the mos comfortable packs I have ever worn. Love the new waist belts. A lot more comfortable than the old ones. A definite must!
Did not live up to my expectations
Johnathan Rambo
Member since
I have to agree with the review preceding mine, this pack did not live up to the hype and I really wanted it too. First of all I hate the newer suspension systems backpack manufacturers are making. I have tried them out on a few models and just can't get over my distaste for them. First the suspension systems dig into packing space and take away from total volume by creating an uneven storage compartment making it difficult to load. Then there is the issue that these suspensions displace the load away from the back making it harder to balance loads. Call me traditional, but I like to distribute the weight directly off of my hips allowing my shoulders to rest a bit (I took the suspension out the second go around on the trail). The shoulder straps never fit me right. I was concerned about this when pack fitting and finding the right size at the shop, but when I got it out onto the trail it just resignated the entire trip. The straps just dug into my shoulders and I could never maintain that balance so I felt as if I was readjusting ever half hour or so. Finally the chest strap broke on my 3rd adventure with this pack and I knew then I had had enough. The plastic buckles at times came loose and I was carrying around 25-35 lbs on 5 day backcountry adventures. What I did like about this pack is the flexible nature of the packs front pouch. The capacity without the suspension was much improved. I was just never really impressed with the load distribution and wanted more in regards to comfort. Bottom line, it just did not work for me, but anatomically it may work for someone of different dimensions. I am 5'10" about 165 and this pack fit me in the medium and I could almost make a large work, but stuck with the medium. Keep in mind height has nothing to do with fitting, torso lengths can vary considerably in people of the same height so it is personal discretion.
high hopes, completely let down
Mike Antilla
Member since
i wish i could say i had the same experience that the other reviewers had with this pack, but it completely let me down . i had started the pct with a brand new one, loaded with 35-just under 40 lbs with water, and within a week, the zipper tore on the inside that keeps tension on the back panel, and the wire frame stay bent, which allowed the frame to shift and the load was never positioned correctly on my shoulders. i managed to fix the frame problem, but the corners were rubbing on my hips so badly (mind you i tried everything body glide, moleskin, duct tape, more clothes, less clothes etc) that i literally bled through my shirt, and have scars. on top of all that, the hip belt pockets i found basically useless, i'm not sure how it made it past R&D, but the corners of the frame as well as the shoulder straps overlap the rear part of the zippers, as well as the pockets, so using the whole pocket is basically impossible.
after all that there were some positive things about the pack, like the layout and the weight, but i think that it needed a lot more work before recommending it for a thru-hike.
sweet pack

I've used this pack once so far in a backpacking setting. its comfortable and does the job. The only thing i would change would be to add pockets on the belt and two more smaller zip pockets on the bag.
Does this pack have an external hydration...

Does this pack have an external hydration compartment, or is it just a little pocket on the inside of the main compartment?
Guy Geva
Member since
There is pack Suspension there is place for the hydration compartment and in the inside of the main compartment
Kate Williamson
Member since
Guy, this used to be the case. With the change to the suspension to allow the shoulder harness to extend to longer torsos, this is not the case anymore. Only the internal hydration sleeve for reservoirs is available on this pack.

I placed my blader on the outside of the main compartment, yet inside the rear mesh panel. It works great. Frees up room in the main compartment.
Awesome Pack

Taken this pack on two trips since I bought it, and can't find a thing wrong with it. Plenty of room for a 3 day backpacking trip in the smokies, hope to take it on everything from overnighters, week long trips, and hopefully my first mountaineering trip.

You sure can, I like to put mine upright, above my sleeping bag. I stuff my clothes around it and then put my tent on top.
Size Makes a Huge Difference

I ordered a couple of the small Atmos 65's from SAC for my scout age boys. I loaded them up with about 30 lbs and not matter what I did the load seemed to pull straight back on their shoulders. I had seem some reviews about the suspension pushing the weight too far off the back and I could see what they were talking about. I was wondering how Osprey was even selling some of these bags. A buddy of mine had ordered a large at the same time and we got together for a short hike and I asked if I could try his out. He had it loaded with 35 lbs of gear and when I put it on I couldn't even tell I was carrying anything close to that weight. It was night and day from the other model I had tried. So bottom line, the air suspension seems to have a bigger affect on the load balance on the smaller model but if you are looking at a large (and I have a 19" torso and 31" waist and it fit me great) then this is an amazing pack.
Most Excellent

This pack got Backpacker magazine's "best all arounder" for a reason, Osprey killed it with the Atmos 65. It's light, durable, comfortable, and it carries like a dream. the pack hardly moves when it's strapped on, and it doesn't really feel like there is anything there, even with 40 or more lbs in it. It's perfect for everything from weekends to multi week treks, assuming you know how to pack. It's versatility allow it to handle climbing trips and urban environments like a champ as well, all without the weight of the Aether or Argon. Definitely the winner.
