The Atlas I'm afraid to say failed miserably. Seven miles into Big Sur and the framesheet snapped like a twig. I don't know why and it hurts to write this because I love Eureka so much. They have never let me down but I sent the pack back to them and they haven't gotten back to me.

Also, the hipbelt was so uncomfortable that I didn't want to put it on ever again. Sorry JWA!

On the brighter side, the compression system is unmatched and it loads quite easily. I liked the taco loading system and swivel hipbelt.

I wouldn't write the pack off just yet. I'll update this review after I hear from JWA.
