Atmos AG 50L

I love my Osprey Aura AG (circa 2015, fits different than the current model). I can comfortably carry up to about 45lbs, more than the pack is supposed to carry and 1/3 of my body weight, ie a little more than I’m supposed to carry at all. (I don’t carry that much for my own trips — only when workin

I can suggest the, Osprey Stratos 24 or 34 L, Deuter futura 25 or 32 L. I like the adjustability of the Osprey packs more then the non adjustable frames of the Deuter packs.

One thing to add from me - I think both brands have, let's say - ultralight and normal versions of the similar model. Ultralight models

Osprey Atmos AG 50. 50L was plenty for a 3-day traverse carrying food and a full camp setup. Super comfortable Anti-Grav frame under load and stable on the steep ridgeline climbs. Salomon XT-6, Ran these for the entire traverse. Good grip on steep sections and handled the mix of dense bush, mud, and

I use the Osprey Atmos AG 50 and I love it, super comfy, makes heavy loads not feel as heavy, loads of features like water bladder compartment, 2 side bottle holder that are accessible from the side and top, ice pick and pole attachments, stuff it pocket, 2 hip belt pockets and so much more. The bag

What about the whippa colo or the whippa overland made in Katoomba There’s also the wallaroo from neve gear I’m in the market for gear and though not a beginner hiker but starting to build up some gear for overnighters I’m struggling to find the right pack between the above mentioned ultralight pack

I use an Osprey Atmos AG LT 65 without the brain because I run hot and like having the ventilation. It has the same trampoline back as the full weight AG but with less pockets and fewer adjustment options that aren't necessary for me. It weighs 3.5 lbs or so without the brain, right in between the t
