Osprey Packs Atmos 65 Backpack - 3800-4200cu in
Adequate but maybe not the best for my use

Ranked #499 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
April 28, 2009
I got this for use as a summit pack and got this for the ultralight weight, although it barely fill the role. Construction is top notch as is all Osprey packs, and it will definitely last forever. Zippers have great pull loops that stay open and are easy to use with gloves. I will probably replace it with something else later as the curvy back might be great for hiking in the heat, but it just collects snow on Alpine runs. I would also point out that although it says 65 liters, it feels a lot smaller because of the curve pushing into the bag space. Makes packing more difficult. The 2009 version have changed this by having far less curve, so maybe it's better. I wouldn't plan on doing more than 3 days with this pack unless it's warm and you aren't packing many layers. Only Osprey pack I have owned that I regret at the moment. If I had it to do over I would probably buy the Osprey Variant but then again I wanted a summit pack and that didn't exist at the time. Too bad Osprey won't let me trade up.
