Nice Pack!

As usual, as with all Osprey packs, attention to detail and construction on the Atoms 65 is excellent. For me, Fit was a little bit of a problem. I'm an "in-betweener". My waist is now all the way up to a 35 (winter was brutal on my figure!) and my torso length runs 19 to 21 depending on how I'm measured. AFter exchanging packs a couple of times, I decided the Large was my best option.
I just recently did a 3 day trip and found the pack to be good, but not great. For me, the pack became uncomfortable when loaded above 33 lbs. The belt just doesn't seem to be enough... above 33 lbs the pack transfers more weight than I like to my shoulders. The ventilated back mesh does its job; No sweaty back with this pack! I found the bag allowed better organization through the use of it's many pockets! I especially liked having the option of hanging my reservoir either directly behind the back mesh (where it takes up no pack envelope space), or in the traditional spot inside the bag. Nice Pack... might have been a 5 star pack if I wasn't an in-betweener. Note: This pack is NOT an adjustable torso length type.
