After hiking over 3,000 miles this year with the Atmos 50, I can attest to the quality and durability of the product. Like all Osprey packs, it takes a day or two to break in the shoulder straps, and then you’re good for a decade. I think it’s funny how outdoor gear sales people try to convince would-be customers that packs like this can’t handle the needs of extensive trips. Well, leave the canned food and the blue jeans at home and you’ll be fine. I love this pack. You get the best of the internal pack with the breathability of an external frame. If I could have any pack in the world, for long-distance hiking, it would be the Atmos 50 I already have. Sure it’s dirty and has a few small dental floss and duct tape patches, but the pack has no major issues and has treated me well. It's going to hike the CDT with me next year!
