I'm comparing two packs that fit the bill: The Osprey Atmos 50 and the Dueter ACT Lite 50+10. Which would you buy AND Why? ( Did I mention to please include why you would buy/use one over the other?) Thanks!

Diver, it comes down to how much you're going to be carrying, how long you'll be carrying, and what weather you expect. Firstly, how much you carry with both packs is important because if overloaded the pack will never fit you correctly and the straps will slip and you will be readjusting two times for every one step you take. It's no fun and even though I wasn't overloaded, the Deuter slipped the straps way too much. Two pals thruhiked the AT with the Atmos and loved it because of all the features it had including the mesh panel on the back which kept the actual backpack from making too much contact with their back so they would stay cool in the hot hot months. If you are going a long distance, you will shed packweight and want something small and manageable, which in this case, is the Atmos. If this pack made it through the AT, did well in the hot, hot heat, and is lighter than the Deuter, I think the answer is obvious which one you should choose. I personally still haven't gotten over a 3-day hike in which I had to readjust my Deuter pack 10 times every mile. The Atmos is also tougher, that Cordura is the bomb.

Honestly they are both Very good packs i think that i would take Osprey because i have owned one and love their packs. That being said you should probably find a way to load both up and try them out. Lots of times it comes down to how they fit on you and how they feel walking around the house or the store.
