Atmos AG 65L

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. But it makes them a bit more bulky. For backpacking I really love my Osprey atmos ag 65. While heavier then the exos models it

No one has said that you need to make sure that your NEW pack fits, and that you can imagine yourself wearing it for 6 months, not just around REI for 30min. On a thruhike your have many peices of gear that you need to work, but you have two peices of gear that you need to love. You need to love you

From all of my heart I recommend Osprey and Deuter backpacks. You won't get wrong with them, just choose the right model for you - every model has its own purpose. One thing to add from me - I think both brands have, let's say - ultralight and normal versions of the similar model. Ultralight models

When you say the Nepal backpack are you talking about the one sold by the Go outdoor group? I had the old old version of that when it was badged as HiGear. It was pretty good as a large day pack but the very first time I loaded it up for wild camping it nearly cut my arms off my body 😂 I did about 1

I've owned an Osprey Aether 60, an Atmos 65 and a Zpacks Arc Air Robic. The Aether was very comfortable but I utilized REI generous return policy at the end of the season to swap to the Atmos.

I started backpacking with the Osprey and I continue to use it for Grand Canyon backpacking because of the durability, breathability and water weight I have to carry. I don’t go as many days in the canyon so t

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

Yeah, out of all the packs I tried with 30 lbs, the Osprey Atmos ag “felt” the lightest. I think part of it was how well it transferred weight to my hips.

Shimoda is garbage for any real hiking with heavy gear. That is not a real frame pack (I have one). I use a 65l Osprey atmos- you can get sleeves or inserts for camera gear and dump whatever you want in it. Night and day compared to any camera bag. You can get a big insert from peak design or simila
