The shoulder straps on this pack (and other Osprey products) tend to rub the sides of my neck. After much adjusting, it seems that the space between the straps is not large enough for my short stumpy neck. Are there any brands that separate the shoulder straps more than others?

I agree with Dwayne, you should have a pro fit you to a pack. Everyone's fit is a little bit different, and it may be that you need to size up to get a wider spot for your neck. Problem is this could wreck the rest of the fit, but it's worth a shot. Either way, a trained professional can certainly help you find one that fits you.

I think the idea being presented is to get a more adjustable pack. Almost every brand of pack makes a basic, lighter-weight pack that has minimal adjustment but then makes a slightly heavier pack that has interchangeable parts or highly adjustable parts so you can find a fit that works the best for your body type. The Atmos is the basic, lightweight, minimal-adjustment pack that Osprey makes. Their more ajustable pack is the Aether. The Aether 70 has harness/hipbelt that can be interchanged--so if you need a Large harness but need a Medium sized pack, that is doable. However, I think Dwayne hit the nail on the head. If you are lucky and have a great nearby outfitter, go get fitted. Finding a pack that allows enough space for your amazingly muscular neck but can also be fine-tuned to your torso. Unfortunately, the more unique you are in body shape, the more you need to go in and get fitted.

check the Arc'teryx Altra 65, the shoulder straps can be adjusted both vertically, to fit torso length, and horizontally, to fit a range of necks, from stumpy to pencil. http://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-altra-backpack-65-mens-3967-4577cu-in http://arcteryx.com/Product.aspx?EN/Mens/Altra-65

Most backpacks come in a few sizes, meaning short, regular, and long.. if you are at either short or medium, try a longer pack. A lightweight microfiber towel across your shoulders might help the rubbing. The best idea for you would be to get a proper sizing done at an outfitters
