From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Osprey Men's Atmos 65 Pack (Fall 2008) The Atmos 65 Pack by Osprey brings their lightweight AirSpeed Suspension, contoured mesh backpanel and waffle foam harness and hipbelt to multi-day backpacking. With a strong 10mm aluminum frame with titanium flex struts and thicker harnessing, you won't be disappointed with the comfort of this well-featured pack."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Atmos 65 Backpack has been a popular choice among serious backpackers for a few seasons now, and Osprey just upgraded it with a new back-panel design. Now the Atmos sits even closer to your back for better support when you really load this pack to the gills. Of course, Osprey kept the vented back panel and mesh straps to let cool air flow during hot summer backpacking trips. You also get a healthy helping of pockets to keep everything organized."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Expanding on the success of their Atmos 50 backpack, recipient of a 2005 Outside magazine Gear of the Year Award, Osprey recently introduced the larger capacity Atmos 65 backpack. To handle the bigger loads associated with gear intensive glacier climbs and winter camping trips, both the aluminum stays and hipbelt have been beefed-up for better load transfer and comfort. The 3D tensioned, breathable mesh backpanel offers superb airflow through the back contact zone, making the adventure seeker less prone to overheating. The Osprey Atmos 65 backpack carries loads of up to 35 lbs. (15.86 kgs.) with ease, and with an assortment of convenient pockets and straps, keeping all this gear organized is a cinch. Although the pack is classified as a top loader, the main compartment is also accessible through a zippered opening in the left front pocket."

"Well, 50 years of age recently hit me in the face. I have been doing a bit of day hiking for the last few years, but I haven't seriously backpacked for about 30 years. It was time to get back to it! But where to start with all the new packs and technologies?

I started my research online and liked what I read on the Atmos 65."

"You need to do a little warm up before you go on long trips. After the first day my hips were sore from the spartan padding on the hipstrap that is supposed to aid in ventilation. Overall though great pack, kinda small but the thru hikers that I met on the AT had managed to find a way to put two weeks of supplies in it so it can be done."

"This pack is a great pack. I personally think that the waist belt is useless as is for any weight if you have a curved back like me.

I replaced my stock belt with the belt from the Aether 70 (isoform). I got just the belt at Eastern Mountain Sports and have had it sewn into the original belt by a seamstress."

"Let me start by saying that until recently I had not packed for 25 years. I only have experience with two of the modern packs. I started off with the Lassen pack for my first two trips. I opted to go for something lighter for this trip due to knee surgery and back problems, and maybe age :-)."

"After a bad experience with a Mountainsmith pack I decided to go with this pack. I have been extremely happy with it. It carries well and it simple and intuitive to adjust.

As long as you don't plan on overloading this pack (45 + LBS) I think that you will be extremely happy with this pack."

"This pack is great...the only thing keeping me from rating this a 5 star pack is the internal frame supports that really cut into your space inside. The pack is very comfortable and easily adjustable. If the frame supports were closer to your back you could definitely store more gear! I consider this pack a toss up between it and my Gregory Z-55."

"The most comfortable pack I've worn in 40 years of backpacking. Trade in the pounds of your old pack for the ounces of the Atmos. The suspension is great and the venting is wonderful. I've used it for weekend and week-long trips and it is currently packed (32lbs) for thru-hiking the Long Trail (24-28 days)."

"If you are buying this pack for the purpose it is intended for you will love it. It is by far the most comfortable pack I have ever put on. I recently took it on the Kalalau trail in Hawaii and my back was never bothered, the Sierra Club rates this trail a 8 out of 10 as far a difficulty."
