Osprey Packs Atmos 35 Backpack - 1900-2300cu in
Great Pack, But Not For What I Needed

I was looking for a backpack that I could carry-on to plane and use for a two-week trekking trip to Thailand. The air-flow back was very appealing because I sweat alot and Thailand is quite hot and humid. The problem was the arc in the frame was a concern though when cramming it into a overhead. The arc also made it more rigid so you couldn't stuff it as much. I really hated to, but I ended up returing it and wound getting a Osprey Kestrel 38 which looks like a better fit for my purpose and I got a few extra L's of space. My wife got a Osprey Talon 44 which is even better for carry-on travel. Very light and alot of room and still makes it in the carry-on restrictions. Osprey is a great pack and they are a great company. We called them and they were extremely helpful.
One other thing...they are supposed to be improving the Atmos next year so it should be even better.
