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!
This pack is about the coolest thing going. It is really light weight and has great venting. I have been doing some hiking in the desert and this pack has been perfect. You can put an ton of gear in this thing. If you only have a little gear it compresses really nicely. This is the prefect day hiking or overnight pack. Nice work Osprey!
Took the new pack on 4 day backcountry hut trip and loved its light weight, great shovel pocket, comfortable ride. Belt pockets are handy for snax and gadgets, but would be better if one of them was water-tight. This pack was the envy of the trip.
