Osprey Packs Atmos 35 Backpack - 1900-2300cu in
Misses in Primary Role of Transferring Weight to Hips

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.

Osprey packs are great packs but they do not function well when overloaded.
