Sweet looking pack. That mesh panel and how adjustable the pack is looks really comfortable!
I just bought it and took it out for an overnighter. I have to say that I really love the pack so far! It´s extremely comfortable.
Easily the best review I've seen while researching this pack. Keep them coming!!
I appreciate it Ben.
Take care.

I just replaced my 29 year old Spalding pack with the AG 50. I'm impressed so far! See if I can get 29 years out of it :-)
Honestly, the best review I've seen about this product, so far. Thanks so much!
+Pierluca Minardo Thank you Pierluca. - Luke
Wow! That pack looks awesome. I will be interested in how it performs in the long-run. Great preview Luke.
Best review I saw about this pack yet! Very helpfull!
That looks like a very well designed pack. Thanks for giving us a look at it.
To Outdoor Gear Review, I'm a new hiker and learning bushcraft as well, thanks to your videos I've learned so much from you and others. I wanted to take the time and thank you and your wife for the AWESOME job you two do! Strength & Honor
445rodriguez Thank you so very much 445!
Enjoy your adventures.
- Luke
Great review! Just got this pack, section hiking south end of the PCT, perfect fit for the hiking I do.
Just got back from REI - with you guessed it - the osprey atmos ag!!!!!! Thanks to your reviews of this pack I pulled the trigger. I did however go with the 65 instead of the 50. Thank you again for your great reviews and love the camping videos also.
I have the 88l version (85L Large size) of this pack and absolutely love it. I'm able to store my Springfield XDS 45 on the right hip pocket (not much extra room) and two spare mags on the left side. At 5.4lbs it's not too bad but I'm not counting ounces. My recent three day wilderness hike fully loaded with water (Kleen Kanteen 40oz) and food (3lbs of steaks for two included) weighed 35lbs and was very comfortable. I plan on using the 85L for 7-12 day wilderness/mountain hikes in bear country (will fit a canister easily) in the future hence why I use the larger sized pack. Great review as always Luke.
Awesome! Osprey makes some well engineered products. I have a couple Osprey packs myself. You'll love it. Thanks for sharing.
cfraimondo233 I agree 100% my friend.
- Luke
I have an Osprey Variant 37, it has largely the same features and design of this. I love it for it's great looks and usability, it's just big enough for an overnighter but also small enough not to make me feel like a pack mule, no "Anti Gravity" on it though.
Awesome Review. Just bought one. Terrific features & benefits for the money.
Very nice. I just got one, and now I know what some of these straps do!
The hip straps are cool and help a lot. It holds onto you, kind of like holding up a happy 2yr old vs holding one that wants to be let down and does that 'lean back maneuver' lol.
Osprey one of my favorite brand ever. Thank you Luke!
I have the Atmos AG 65 and Syncro 20 w/ 3L hydration system- absolutely incredible backpacks, and having those covers so many areas of use. I almost feel set for life with these, very versatile, durable and great for both comfort and packing solutions. :D
Great looking pack with many interesting features. Love to see it on one of your adventures. Thanks. atb Opal
Awesome review, thanks.
I was wondering if you were going to do a video on this pack. Their new suspension system had my intrigued when I first saw it. Thanks for all the videos Luke. -Krik
Black Owl Outdoors Hey there Krik, do you have any experience with the FJALLRAVEN KAIPAK 58 pack? Thank you for your videos as well amigo. Have a great weekend.
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview No I don't. But I hope to get one of the new Kaipaks. Are you thinking about getting the 58?
hey luke i just ordered me one to day...good review keep up the good work
Best pack I've seen in a vet very long time. Great video Luke
Andyb2379 It has been a long time since I have seen a new idea when it comes to backpacks; I'm glad to see companies coming up with fresh ideas.

- Luke
Very cool pack. Also that zipper on the back inside of the pack is for hanging a second water bladder in your suspension system.
I have used this pack on 3 trips with it stuffed full. It is very comfortable for me. The hip belt is amazing.
Patterson Outdoor Adventures Thank you for sharing my friend.

Thanks for this review, Luke. This us the pack I've been wanting, only the women's version - the Aura. Just waiting for the price to come down. Cheers!
I got the 65 liter version.. Best backpack i have ever owned! No question about that
Thanks a lot! Great review~
Nice review Luke! Great video quality.. What camera is that? I am seriously considering this pack for my AT thru hike.
Would really like to see a review of this after some testing. Looks like a useful item. Another pack I wish you could go over is The North Face, Terra 50. Just bought it but won't be here for a month, coming from Britain. Only one thorough review on TH-cam and she didn't care for it as the harness was too big for her.
Almost 5 years late. Good job TH-cam, way to achieve.
Love Osprey!! I have the farpoint 55 but now looking for a more technical bag. Would it pass as a carry-on with the hood removed? Thx!
great video. well done.
i wish they'd use this suspension on a pack with lighter fabric. could knock off a pound of weight and smaller webbing [except the shoulder straps].
Good pack, the only criticism I have is the mesh pockets are very weak, the one on the back of mine tore within a few days of use in the Highlands of Scotland, other than that I found it very comfortable.
what a great review !
i'm researching a pack for a dayhike
would this pack work for a dayhike for 2 people?
walking with a fit yet fragile elderly person with backproblems...
carying a medium weight dslr with 3 lenses, 2 water bottles, 2 lunchbags, and some clothing...
nothing really extremly heavy ! but just the stuff needed for a dayhike..
thank your for the great review !
Always love the 360! Another great review. This looks like an awesome pack. Looking forward to another review when you take it out on a hike! I don't need another pack, but may have to buy this one! I still think you should consider changing your trail name to Pack Man!!!
C Barta Hahaha Pack Man! That might not be the first time I've heard that one but I still love it. Take care of yourself my friend.
- Luke
Yeah, I know......sorry, that is me that keeps wanting you to change your trail name to "Pack Man"......I thought other were supposed to be given you your trail name and not be self named......LOL!!! Stay well and take care, my friend!!! Thanks for all the great reviews!!!
Hi Luke, Awesome preview and video, I cant wait to receive this awesome backpack in the mail when I order it pretty soon. have a GREAT great weekend Luke!, and Happy Trails. -Jake
Nice pack. Nice review . It's definitely on my list!
WoodsTrekka' It looks to be a terrific pack.
S&H
- Luke
Thanks so much for the reply. I really appreciate it!
-WoodsTrekka'
Looks GREAT Luke, when your done reviewing/testing it and it needs a new home ill be glad to take it off your hands lol....
joseph brown Thanks for letting me know. hahah - Luke
hey luke were do i get the rain cover? and what size do i get amazon has then in small and med
Hey there! You mentioned this bag was a size small. What are your dimensions? I'm just curious as I am looking to pick one up. I'm about 5*9 150 lbs with a 32 waist. Any recommendations ?
If and if only this suspension system had behind it a tactical pack with an increased weight but better durability and molle system it would just be glorious
How much weight can it carry? thanks. Fantastic review
Wow impressive. This is a great pack to have I love the back mesh piece the hip straps that can be adjusted to your hip. I myself have a size 29 hip and a lot of packs that I get that piece feels like it overlap my hips.
Also love the pockets on the hip belt it sure beats having a fanny pack with you. Last I like all the compartments this has in it. I hope this company makes more of them and with cheaper prices. This pack is a little out of my price range sorry. Wel Luke thank you once again for a fantastic review.
Peace and honor back to you
Tom
Tom Fehrenbach Thank you very much Tom! Have yourself a great week buddy.
- Luke
I've added another to my list! This Osprey and the Granite Gear Leopard AC 58. I am wondering how they compare? Maybe the subject of a gear review? Any info/opinions you have would be appreciated. I am short at 5'4 but a bit flabbier around the middle than you my friend. Lol. Anyway, I always assume that in terms of size, if it works for you there is a chance it might work for me in a similar way. Thanks.
That Backpack looks awesome! 50l is a good size
Andrew T. Agreed my friend.
S&H
- Luke
Can you do review about Sierra Designs - Lightning 2P tent? The blue one.
That's would be awesome! Thanks!
hey luke, i need your advice to choose size on atmos ag, because i have 19" torso, and confuse to choose size s or m .. can you give me advice ? becuse i cant try on both size, because im ordered from online, im 174 cm tall and 64 kg
thak you luke :) i hope you will give me advise :)
Hey Hey. I'm trying to decide on one pack. The atmos 65 for its great comfort or a kelty coyote 80 for it's better durability and ability to carry tougher stuff. If anyone had to pick just one to cover the most bases, which one? Tell me why you'd pick one over the other.
Is that a Large or Medium pack? thanks!
i would say you're a damn good salesman, but the pack sales itself. great video!
+James Bell Haha I don't care anything about the sales, just the education. - Luke
Is it bigger then Lowe Alpine Trek+ 45:55?
I don't have many miles on my 65L yet, but I do find it is pretty comfortable so far. You can put a lot in it - enough that you dread putting it on, and then you get it on - it really does not feel like you are carrying anywhere near that much.
trustbuster23 Have you heard any squeaking coming from the pack? One viewer said that his made a lot of noise. I haven't experienced that.
Cheers my friend.
- Luke
mine hasn't done that. I haven't put a huge number of miles on it - and it has been shorter trips so not exactly crammed full - but it hasn't made any noise so far.
You mentioned that you can buy the pack for $172. Can you provide a link?
I just bought this pack and I have a question. How the hell do you open up the back zipper to the suspension system when there is no pull tab on it? Kind looks like it wasn't meant to be used other than to fix the suspension system if it needed repairs or something.
TheBeagleBrigade Good question my friend and you can make a pull out of a paper clip if you want to pull it open/close it. For most people they won't need to get access to that portion of the pack. It's like you said, mainly for repairs.
- Luke
This has been on the top of my 'want list' for 2 months. It's my next purchase.
The Beaten Paths I'm looking to hear of your experiences with it once you get it in.
S&H
- Luke
Osprey Atmos AG 50 Backpack. hey, luke after 7 years are you still packing your?I still HAVE Mine And It,s Sill Going Stong.
Why would you want a zipper to access the suspension system? What is it for? Why does the zip have no puller? I have seen that on many Osprey bags but fail to see the significance of this zipper...
I recently did 4 days/3 nights at Yosemite NP in the 65L version of this pack. With food and water my packed weighed 32lbs. This is what bothered me about the pack. No matter how i packed or adjusted the pack the rubber pieces under the pack would dig into my lower back. It also squeaked a lot. The hip belt pockets was barely able to fit a single Cliff Bar. Lastly, at first it was extremely difficult to put on alone because the hip belt would remain closed. Putting the pack on became a tad bit easier as you break in the hip belt.
Roland Nieves Thank you for sharing your experiences brother. I will certainly remember those when it comes time to do the review and will compare those to my own. By the way, what was squeaking?
ATB
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview I have the OSPREY Stratos 36 and for the first 2-3 days of hiking I experienced the squeaking too. I didn't actually realise it until someone walking behind me commented on it, then I occasionally heard it. It's gone now thought so no harm, just something wearing in.
I didn't bother too hard finding where it came from but somewhere around the drag handle/load lifters. Right behind your head/neck.
Roland Nieves I do believe that Luke mentioned that the hipbelt pockets were too small to be usable in last year's review of the Atmos 65.
TheOutdoorGearReview You're very welcome! I believe the squeaking was coming the hip-belt. Which i found odd since the hip-belt isn't it's own piece on the pack. Can't wait to see your review on the pack.
Great video reviews, I saw both. If I could find this green one for $172 I would buy it in a heartbeat. Where can you recommend I get it for that or something close to that? Thanks again!
I did a quick search and it looks like the green one can be picked up for around $220 on amazon. - Luke
Overall, nice review although too bad you didn't show, how the compartment divider actually works.
Does it look like there is a way to replace the suspension/shoulder straps/hipbelt if they become worn or damaged? or is it non-removable?
panzerabwerkanone I will have to take a look at it again to answer that. If there are issues with durability though, Osprey will take care of it. They are pretty awesome about that type of thing.
Cheers.
- Luke
I love mine ! Got the 65
Bobby Smith Awesome! How do you like it?
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview It just fits like a glove , I put extra gear in it to see how the extra pounds would feel and and didnt really notice ! I dont need the 65L but was on sale at REI , 50L would be perfect. The only thing I didnt like is the waist straps are way too long , and the waist pockets are really small . But the fit is Great ! My back stays cool Too!
Bobby Smith Oh ya almost forgot , Osprey is a great company Too , I know a guy who lost a lot of weight hiking the AT and the pack wasnt fitting right , called Osprey and they exchanged it for free to a smaller size ! After 800 miles .
I have the 50L version, IMO a pack this size doesn't necessarily need to be made out of such heavy material (who has gear today that weighs 40+lbs that can fit in a 50 L pack?). This pack is top of line in quality, the mesh backing does keep the pack off your back directly and is probably the best at mimicking an external frame in this area. This pack does have that "hug" feel to it and works well with 30+lbs in it, the material is also made strong enough I would not hesitate going off the beaten path through brush. That being said, Im still on the fence whether or not Im going to keep it..I have a gg blaze AC 60 that fits great and can handle all my stuff at around 30lbs, I just HATE the color of the blaze but it fits like a glove but not a strong as the atmos...BTW this pack looks awesome in person ( graphite gray looks more like dark forest green to me)
dmb3428 one more thing, you should pay attention to how the hip belt feels when your walking around. To me it doesn't feel like it's locked down on my hip area ( like other packs do when cinched down correctly and the pack settles) so now Im wondering if it will require re-adjusting the pack ever so often due to slippage? That could become annoying real quick, especially if it's raining.
Hi Luke. I looked at the Atmos 65 liter, but ended up buying the Fjällräven Kajka 65 (which I know you have too) instead, mainly because of the way its build. If I look at the usage of my backpack, I need to not worry about it. The mesh front on the Atmos is way to vulnerable and the materials are not as heavy-duty like then that on the Kajka. If you're looking for a large pack in the 65 liter range that will last you a lifetime, I suggest saving a bit more money and skip the Atmos.
Ruud Oudendijk Thanks for sharing your opinion my friend. For myself, I see these as two different packs and you are absolutely right about durability but with durability comes more weight. For most trails, the Atmos will be just fine. For the technical/rough stuff, I would go with the Fjallraven.
Take care of yourself my friend.
- Luke
Damn you Luke, DAMN YOU!! I ALMOST bought this pack. I DON'T need another pack. I have a Kelty Cloud lock suspension with dynamic air flow, I have three different Camelbak's and a REI morning star. I have more packs than I have people. STOP THE MADNESS...STOP IT!!!
fangfour Luke got me hooked on buying military surplus packs. He's an enabler.
panzerabwerkanone Yeah that Luke guy, he's a real problem! Hahaha!
- Luke
fangfour .....just.....one......more.....pack......
hahaha
Enjoy my friend.
- Luke
Can Osprey Atmos AG 50 use for long daypack/weekend backpack?
+Allen Oh It definitely could but it really depends on your gear loadout. How big is each piece of your gear.
- Luke
hey luke have you tride that pack in the winter yet?
Sure have brother, what questions do you have?
- Luke
did the snow get in on your back?
My kelty eagle has that lid design. Check out that beast.
Paul DiDonato Ha! The Kelty Eagle is like 128L right?
panzerabwerkanone Haha I don't think that is enough room for my needs. Where am I going to put my water heater?
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview At 128L your pack doubles as your shelter!
I really like Osprey and their packs. Really nice features on most of them.
On some of their other packs (Xenith for example) the lid can be used as a waist pack. Not only that, but the buckle used for the hip belt is the same as the lid, which means you have a spare in case of breakage.
One concern about the mesh on this one tho, how does it effect the durability of the pack?
fontanell Durability is a great question my friend; we will have to see once it hits the trail.
Have a good one.
- Luke
Hey Luke, thanks for the review. Quick question, does the Atmos have a raincover?
MrGosh According to Osprey's website: yes. ("Integrated & detachable raincover" / "Integrierte und abnehmbare Regenhülle")
MrGosh It doesn't include a raincover my friend. I have only seen this feature listed on the REI website in what they call the EX edition. - Luke
Volker Glave Where did you see that my friend? Mine didn't come with one and I have read that they are not included.
Cheers.

similiar confusion in a comment at ospreypacks own video "ATMOS AG - RAINCOVER" watch?v=0vJjZJylp0A :-)
Could you tell us your height? Great review man!
I believe the rain cover is an REI feature only. It also comes with a 3 liter dry sack

Kick one my way if you happen to have any kick downs lol
Now Osprey...that's a backpack...I have many
Patrick Caple What's your favorite? - Luke
Love it man, but why so heavy? Drop 16oz and it's a perfect pack. But 4lb for 50L pk is too heavy. Strategically lower the denier density we'd have a segment dominating product...not only today (7/15/15) but for years. 4lbs 50L's? Frageltharp! Who is the nincompoop who thought THAT was acceptable? We're still better off with a Gregory Z55. That kills me! Give me the weight savings of the Gregory and the brilliance of the AG suspension and BAM! The best pack on the market. So close to perfect you gotta wonder, "what the hell?"
That's a really nice looking bag with lots of bells and whistles...but at a cost. It weighs 2 full pounds more than my comfortable mainstream manufactured (not ZPacks etc.) 50 liter backpack which I purchased for $50 shipped. I see the usual, "but it's so comfortable" argument below, which in reality means nothing to your legs, knees, ankles and feet. Pack weight is nothing more than weight to your lower body weak points and these are the areas most likely to fail you on a serious hike. I'm subscribed to your channel because I like your reviews but don't always agree with your observations and conclusions. Thank you for your videos and keep up the good work!
Rock that beard!
Rick Sander Haha I plan on it until it is snowing!
I made a bet with Susan and I intend to win!
Hahaha
S&H
- Luke
Golly what a comfortable pack! But what on earth possessed them to do away with the front pockets on the 50 liter pack? I don't think I will ever forgive Osprey for that! And why does it not have ANY attachment points at all; no daisy chain, no straps, no nothing? I'm amazed and greatly disappointed at the same time....
4 LBS. for a 50 liter pack? WAY too heavy. Certainly not Anti Gravity.
Rob Cook The weight of the pack doesn't have to factor into the comfort. I have a number of heavy packs that you can't even feel when wearing it and some lighter packs that you definitely can.
Cheers.
- Luke
I know that I love my Mountain Hardware Thruway 50 at an even 2 lbs. Even at that, I've got my eye on a Zpacks Arc Blast, which I believe you have, at 1 lbs. Thanks for the great channel.
Design is useless
The new design is batter than the new one.
