The Osprey Atmos 35 Backpack easily handles a long day hike or lightweight overnight trip, and it includes a vented suspension system to keep you cool all day. Don’t think of this as just a summer hiking pack though. Osprey added two gear loops to make the Atmos 35 a great choice for technical climbs in both the summer and winter. Basically, you can use this one pack for a few hours of summer hiking, an ice climb, a ski tour, and a day of cragging instead of buying a separate bag for each.
Ii have tried many packs and have always found Osprey Atmos pack to be a good choice. This Osprey Atmos 35 is very good for what I need. I was looking for a comfortable pack, in the 2000 ci range. It has enough to be very functional. Water system storage is good. Good pockets. Excellent suspension which really does work to bring some cooling. The waster battle pockets on the side are a good size. Good pack for day, long day, and overnight.
I took the pack up a few Colorado 14ers in 2006 and put it through some scrambling and abuse. It held up nicely and did not restrict upper-body movement during technical sections. Handles loads well and great for summit bids or minimalist packing.
It has a fully mesh Airspeed backing keeping the back of the pack off your back. The ventilation is great but it makes the interior space awkward and takes getting used to when packing.
I just got this pack in the mail and really wanna keep it, but it doesn't have side release buckles on the side compression straps.
IMO, side release buckles are a must for mounting skis. I'd consider converting the ladderloc buckles to side release, but the top strap appears a little short.
my number one pack, the air ventilation system they developed against your back, along with egomaniacally correct hip belt has yet to be matched. Not sure why not. I have every size with Osprey and use the 35 the most for trad and waterfall ice. Zippers will give out first, but about the same time you will start to develop a hole or two in the bottom of the fabric as well. All normal for the full time abuse on limestone and sandstone that I give them.
How is this pack different from the Osprey Atmos 35 Overnight bag for sale in the outlet (for ~$40 less)? It looks a little different which makes me think it's a different year. The tech specs are identical.
The other one is last year's version (fall 2008). If it fits, get it! There's only one size though. This one has a few upgrades but it's the same pack.
Since my boyfriend loves to hike, I thought I would surprise him with this backpack. He absolutely loves this thing. Took it on a long day hike and made all the weight he was carrying seem like nothing. The vented suspension system is awesome! While others on the hike were complaining about how sweaty their backs were, he was not. His back was pretty dry. Very comfortable pack although one thing my boyfriend did complain a little bit about was after a hours of hiking the lower part of the backpack irritated his back. It may have been the aluminum frame hitting his lower back. "Some more adjustments for next time and it'll be perfect" he says. Overall, very durable and roomy.
I needed a pack with a little more room than my Stratos 24 for long day hikes. The Atmos 35 didn't disappoint me and the new hiking pole fastening system is a real plus.
Most things about this pack are OK, but it has a killer flaw in that the suspension doesn't transfer weight to your hips very well / at all. (The hip belt is sewn on to a trampoline mesh on the back, so the whole pack kind of wobbles around as you move.) Too bad they didn't add some traditional size stabilizer straps as this would make it work...
Other major con is that the severe curve in the back panel makes it a pain to pack.
