Decent pack but with some issues

I've used my pack for half a dozen trips and it's served me well if you ignore some of the issues it has which have been covered in previous reviews. The main thing for me is now the pack has developed an annoying squeaky sound every step you take. It's as though it doesn't like to be loaded but when you take the pack off and press anywhere on the back or hip belt you get the same noise. Anyone walking with you has to put up with this loud noise. I feel it must be components of the anti gravity system. I would normally load my pack with 20 kg's so it's within tolerances. Looking at tOspreys guarantee I doubt wether they will cover this issue which leaves me now with a redundant pack which i'm unable to use. Shame.

zaino straordinario!

I used it for the first time on a four days, three nights trekking across the sea, mountains and woods of the Wild Blue in Sardegna (my country). The anti gravity fits perfect to the body and very stable although weighing 19 kg included food and water. I slept jumping on a wet rock while wadeing a deep creek and I didn't fall down thanks to the perfect adherence making me able to control the momentum. Every moment you can feel that it is a globally well studied project also when loading and unloading the stuff inside. I am satisfyed of my purchase.

Vert good

The backpack is perfect, there are a lot of food details that helps you during the hiking like the anty-gravity sistem. The brand explains their product with a lot of attention, so you can valuete the quality of it before ti buy it

Good Product.

I’m not an expert on backpacks. To me this is a high quality ,tough product.It distributes the weight well and when adjusted it was comfortable.I bought the blue and I felt the color in the picture is not a good representation.However I’m happy with it.

Ottimo!

L'ho usato per fare un trekking di due settimane sulle montagne nepalesi.
15 kg di zaino e non sentirli! Comodo sia con clima caldo con lo schienale ventilato che con gelo dei 5000 mt.
L'unica cosa che consiglierei ai produttori è di rinforzare il tessuto sugli angoli del telaio perchè nonostante la fodera di nylon dovrò ricucire il tesssuto che si è consumato a causa del viaggio nella stiva dell'aereo.

Comfortable & robust

Used in kungsleden hike (Sweden) with 25 kg in it and felt no pain in the back, shoulders or hips due the backpack. The material used looks like good quality. The only negative feedbaclk I have concerns side pockets on the belt that can't be closed with only one hand.

Mejorar cremalleras

A mejorar:
-Las cremalleras no deslizan muy bien que digamos. Quizá cremalleras marca YKK serian un buen avance o cremalleras estanca marca arcteryx.
Muy contento en general exceptuando el tema cremalleras la mochila tiene un 9 para mi gusto.

excellent and so glad i bought it

so i've been camping for years but mainly glamping until 2 yrs ago and wanted to do some serious backpacking, being old school i used a heavy canvas army type back pack, i was to find out what a mistake that was with weight, i thought all these high tech rucksacks where just a gimmick and overpriced, so i stared to watch reviews, and time and time again ospery atmos 65 seemed perfect.!
i can ot belive the difference, its like night and day, these rucksacks are so well though out at every step, "someone loves their job" it has all the perfect go to pockets for everything and keep finding new uses and new ways to pack and use the bag, i tend to walk on dartmoor backpacking and this back pack takes all the light gear i did have but feels like a 3rd of the weight due to it clever design making it feel so light, comfy and supportive, i look forward to every other weekend now and good weather to get out, since then have bought my partner the aura 65, and when the weather not for camping we now have day packs, the talon 11 and i forget the name of hers, but i totally trust this company and will be back when i can find the excuse to need another couple, hmm ! i just have to find a reason why i need more now hehe, in short if your reading this, just buy it, your be amazed i took 3 weeks doing searches and this is defo the best bet

Not reccomended

I bought it because it was incredibly comfortable when I tried in a shop and I have fantastic experience with Atmos 35.Unfortunetly it was a massive disappointment,its only a bag to carry light stuff(up to 10kg)when I had heavier load(around 15kg)its uncomfortable also there is a problem with pockets on a hip belt(too big and wrongly placed so they block your hands when walk)sadly there is a problem with top of backpack(when filled it leaning towards your head which make it very uncomfortable)I wasn't expect anything like that form Osprey.Not sure if they tested this bag before selling it.

Osprey Customer Service,  10/04/2018

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Atmos AG 65.

We are sorry to hear that you have been disappointment by the fit and performance of your pack.

The Atmos AG 65 has a load range of 23kg. If you have found the pack to be uncomfortable with the load of 15kg inside it, it might be that the pack has not been fitted correctly. We recommend following our Pack Fitting Instructions to help with this.

In regards to the side pockets, they are designed to carry water bottles. However, when trying to access water, we have designed our Hydraulics Reservoirs to work with our packs. We recommend using these for easy access to water, especially in our larger Backpacking packs as pockets can be located slightly further away because of the size and shape of the packs.

Your mention of the top lid on the pack, it should not be leaning towards your head when packed. It is possible that the compression straps on this have not be tightened enough to secure the lid in place, or that the lid is filled with heavier items than it is designed for. To help with this, please feel free to have a look at our Packing Instructions.

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

Regards,

Osprey Customer Service

AMAZING But...

This bag is brilliant I had an osprey Kestrel 68L which I out grew so I brought this bag as soon as it came out, looks brilliant very comfy. The only thing I think could be improved is the toggle that closes the main compartment. It is very hard to use the toggle when in a hurry so I undid the knot and took the cord out and replaced the toggle with another toggle that was the same as the toggle on my old bag and just left the other one dangling. So over all extremely nice bag and the only problem was easy to fix but I would definitely recommend this bag.

un sac sans poids

C'est assez surprenant à ressentir et d'autant plus à expliquer. une fois ce sac chargé sur le dos, ses appuis sont tels que l'on ne ressent aucune gêne et aucun problème de répartition de poids. Un sac sans sac ! c'est bizarre à dire mais c'est exactement le ressenti : vous portez un sac sans le savoir !

Buy this backpack now!!

This is the best pack I have ever had. It is perfect in every way and is actually a lot bigger than the photo makes it look.
It can hold any weight and you really can't feel it!
I read another review which said that the main compartment's toggle was difficult to undo, I understand which one they meant but I had no problem with it, and the whole bag, whatsoever.
Great bag, you must get it!!!

Very comfortable, high-quality backpack.

Incredibly comfortable rucksack.

The detachable top section is incredibly useful. The way the solid hip straps fold out of the way makes it easier to transport the bag around (flights, car journeys).

The breathable back is very impressive and effective. Build quality is obviously extremely high.

Pockets are well placed around the bag, with the two on the hip straps being particularly useful.

Instructions for adjusting the back length could have been clearer, but I worked it out in the end. The top-most toggle is a bit unintuitive.

The straps are grey. Everything else is green and orange. Graphite green might be a better description.

Ein rundum guter Rucksack, sehr praktische und durchdachte Einteilung und eine hervorragende Verarbeitung.
Auch das Tragesystem überzeugt auf ganzer Linie!

Perfect for treks

Just finished the West Highland Way in Scotland using this pack. Walked 96 miles over 5 days carrying everything needed to wild camp each night. Even on the last day the pack was extremely comfortable and not causing any pain on my shoulders or waist. Couldn't ask for better results.

Excellent anti gravity system

I used this rucksack for a backpacking trip in Fiji.
The bag has a large useful capacity and is very comfortable to carry.
I would thoroughly recommend this bag.

Bester Rucksack

Ich liebe diesen Rucksack! Er fühlt sich wie eine sanfte Umarmung an und ist auch bei schwerer Last super bequem. Das System der Passformanpassung funktioniert bestens und die vielen verschiedenen Stauräume gewährleisten ein optimales Packsystem. Wetterfest durch die integrierte Regenplane im Top-Fach, welches auch für kleinere Touren abmontierbar ist eignet sich dieser Rucksack nicht zuletzt durch seine schlichte Eleganz für jeden Einsatz. Klare Kaufempfehlung

Backpack Europe

Went for a 2 week hike through Eastern Europe. Had several weather types from scourging heat to whole days of rain. I had clothes and extra's to use every day one whole week. The pack wasn't full I didn't need the internal string that can be used to fasten the load. I ran with the back and walked al days with it on me without any problem. I really loved the breathing system on the back!

La modularité et ses différents accès en font un très bon compagnon de voyage.

The Ultimate Trekking Pack

I needed a large pack to complete a couple of long distance treks this summer, including a 3-week hike across Corsica. I chose the Osprey Atmos AG65 based on positive reviews about the AntiGravity backsystem, as I anticipated hot weather during the trek and I desired comfort. The pack exceeded my expectations, particularly in the way it felt fully loaded (12kg base weight, and 15-17kgs with food and water). I traversed some tricky alpine variants on the GR20 in Corsica and doubled up some stages to make some long days (7+hrs). Throughout, my pack was comfortable, well ventilated and functionality was perfect. I highly recommend the Osprey Atmos AG65 for long distance trekking.

Ottimo acquisto

Anche se non ho potuto ancora usarlo per il motivo per cui l’ho comprato, il mio terzo Cammino di Santiago, ho già apprezzato le caratteristiche peculiari dell’Atmos 65 elencate nel sito della Osprey. La qualità della costruzione, la sua aderenza al corpo, la comodità di accesso all’interno, e via via tutto il resto, si evincono subito come lo indossi la prima volta, anche vuoto, ed ho capito di aver fatto un ottimo acquisto. Sono sicuro che sarà un fidato compagno di cammino. Non vedo l’ora di metterlo seriamente alla prova, più di un mese insieme, come quelli che ho potuto vedere sulle spalle di tanti hikers, mentre facevo i due cammini precedenti e che non mi deluderà.

Great backpack

Used it for 4 weeks travel in Vietnam. Ventilation highly appreciated and in total nothing really to complain. Enough room, good separation and comfortable to carry around. Only thing I do not understand are the massively long main straps. I cannot imagine anyone how would really need this length. Maybe there is some logic behind I don't understand, but being in a rush, fasten the straps and go on you have about 30-40cm dangling around.

bought after advise by a good friend of mine

I'm going to use this backpack on a four months camino from Belgium to Santiago next year.
Because of the advise of my friend, I gave my Osprey backpack her name. (Sorry Osprey...)
Thanks T.C.!
After my camino, I'll come back right here and tell more about the Atmos AG 65.
Till then!

Wow, what a pack

As an experienced trekker/hillwalker, admittedly getting on a bit now, I thought I would treat myself to a new pack. I didn't fancy the alien green, or the red colour, so had to search a bit for a supplier of the graphite grey, so lost out on possible savings.
On its arrival, I set out as soon as possible for a day in the Brecon Beacons, and have never had such a comfortable carry before now.The hip belt seems to hug you and almost makes shoulder straps redundant. Everything about this pack oozes quality and comfort. A brilliant back pack.

evolution system

good quality construction, good materials and AntiGravit système which emphasizes comfort and ergonomics for our back.

This system Atmos AG evolved the old system of "air Quechua Forclaz Air cooling system called" It is also an excellent competition for the new Gregory Baltoro.

Cons of osprey Atmos AG:
However I must say that we need access
side of the backpack for entering the inside.

- Thermo sealed zippers need to avoid water filtration especially in the pockets of the belt.
- Belt pockets are a little small, Osprey should be more generous and They should put more big pockets a little more because they are very fair, we paid 250 euros !.
- Lack a pocket front or laterial to organize small accessories.

conclucion:
Despite the negative aspects, overall quality and comfort of this atmos AG is very good and especially materials. I leave a link detailing the construction quality système AntiGravit Osprey.

Ce sac n'est pas un sac.... C'est un Osprey

Comme mon titre le dit, le Atmos 65 n'est pas un simple sac de rando, il invite à la randonnée longue mais dans un confort absolu. Il rassemble un condensé d'astuces dans un confort hors norme. Merci aux concepteurs :)
L'idée d'avoir le dos au sec lors de mes randos avec un confort ultime, me pousse à remplacer tous mes sacs, Kestrel pour les petites randos à la journée et un Kyte pour mon épouse.
Dis moi les mecs de chez Ospeys, avec de tels compliments, nous pouvons voir pour un geste commercial ? :)
Pour finir, un grand merci à Marc de chez
Alticoop à Nice, revendeur de la marque qui m'a fait découvrir celle ci, et qui me prodigue de super conseils.

2nd pack and another velcro failure

A very comfortable pack and the side pockets are excellent with side entry allowing a bottle to be stored and accessed easily while on the move. Unfortunately though the velcro has failed on my second pack now where the needless on the fly waist adjustment is. It basically fails to hold and leaving you with the weight on your back, not ideal when on day 1 of a 14 day trek! 1st pack done exactly the same. If the pack had fixed waist band it would be perfect but this second failure makes it unsuitable for use. I also met another walker who had the same issue. A real shame Osprey.

ATMOS 65

Just got a new pack to replace my Variant 52, which I have been using for backpacking for the last couple of years since an old Lowe Alpine became too uncomfortable. Very impressed with it apart from a few issues. There needs to be an internal small pocket (used to be under the lid on others) for small odds and ends, and documents etc. I cannot fathom the logic of taking something usefull away. The hip belt pockets need two hands to close as the slider sticks. The straps on the hip belt and chest are very long and when cinched up leave a lot of strap flying about in the wind. There needs to be an elastic loop to secure the ends. The pull cord main compartment top closer has a very fragile knob, which fell apart the first time I touched it! The sleeping bag separator needs to be detachable, the space allocated at the bottom from the zip is too small to allow use of a rolled up compression dry bag containing the sleeping bag, so is unused hence the unneccesary separator. Not sure of the relevance or need for an adjustable hip belt, another unnecessary complication and potential point of failure( see Mark below). I haven't touched this as the adjuster straps are more than adequate and already too long anyway. But very comfortable to wear with big loads. A size in between the 50l and this would be absolutely ideal, 50l being a bit small and 65l too big (I used a 52l for years with a couple of dry bags strapped to the sides).

Awesome bag; roomy, comfortable and tough!

I took the Atmos AG 65 on a 14 day hike across the Swiss Alps. It provided ample space for all equipment and has numerous pockets for easy organisation and quick access to your gear.

The outer fabric was tough enough to put up with abuse without marking or ripping. One small complaint is that with the pack fully loaded and a coat jammed in the pack panel, it's almost impossible to get the rain cover to completely cover the side panels of the bag.

The AG system is a nice idea. I'm not sure how much it really impacts the feel and comfort of the bag. But this bag certainly is comfy. I had little to no rubbing.

Great bag for medium to long hikes!

Expected More

I just used the AG65 on a 8 day Yellowstone Park backpacking trip. I had hoped the hip pockets wouldn't be like other Osprey packs and would work, but no. 2 hands needed to do the zippers up, which made them useless as I had to take the bag off every time. I have the AG50 too and the pockets are bad on that too. Stretchey mesh again very easy to tear on a twig when walking through forest.

I think I will miss Osprey out on my next backpacking purchase, hopefully they will sort out these hip pockets and mesh, everyone moans about the same things, don't know why they don't listen.

Le sac idéal qu'il faut avoir pour faire de la randonnée itinérante !

J'ai ce sac depuis sa sortie (deux ans et acheté sur ce site) et franchement je le recommande chaudement à tous.
Après plusieurs décennies de randonnée c'est un sac qui fait changer de monde. Terminé le mal de dos, d'épaule, etc... des accès facile un ajustement personnalisé qui s'adapte parfaitement à la morphologie, une ventilation efficace même sur la ceinture de portage où le poids se réparti harmonieusement.
Je pourrais aller de superlatifs en superlatifs mais franchement ce sac est tout bonnement incroyable !
N'hésitez pas foncez vous ne regretterez rien (sauf peut-être de ne pas l'avoir acheté plus tôt ;-))
