The Osprey Atmos 35 Backpack easily handles a long day hike or lightweight overnight trip, and it includes a vented suspension system to keep you cool all day. Don’t think of this as just a summer hiking pack though. Osprey added two gear loops to make the Atmos 35 a great choice for technical climbs in both the summer and winter. Basically, you can use this one pack for a few hours of summer hiking, an ice climb, a ski tour, and a day of cragging instead of buying a separate bag for each.

"Good lightweight bag for long torso-ed overnighters"

Rating:****
Used this bag as an short-trip add-on to a monster duffle 24 day trip through Israel. I have a 23in torso and needed a comfy bag for hiking. From the start, it handled the airport quite well. I was a bit nervous about fitting under the seat and the Large size is 1/2 inch too long for the official carry-on size, but not a problem. Easy to throw overhead as well. I would have been petrified to place it under the plane with the number of pieces hanging off of it. On the trip, a bit big for a day-pack and the frame makes it difficult to cram onto buses. On the plus side, having it sit next to me ensured two seats. When overnights in the desert and on the beach were had, the bag w

Amazing pack, but not for cycling

Rating:*****
I'll rate this pack a full 5 stars. I can't think of anything wrong with it. Both the design and construction quality are impeccable. However, this particular pack did not work for me because I need a pack that is compatible with cycling. When riding, this pack rides slightly higher on my torso, and the top of the frame hits my head and helmet; I actually can't even lift my head all the way, which makes this issue both annoying and potentially dangerous. If you're looking at this pack and you need to use it while cycling, I recommend checking on the Osprey Stratos line instead. The Stratos 24 works for me. It is slightly smaller than the Atmos 35, but large enough for my needs.

"my best purchase this year"

Rating:*****
This pack made hiking so much more comfortable for me. The straps and hip-belt are very comfortable, despite their thinness. The hip-belt pockets can hold multiple energy bars. The hydration pocket holds a full 3L bladder, and each side stretch pocket can hold a 1L bottle. The interior is slightly smaller than you'd think because of the curve of the suspension, but the trade-off is that your back stays cool and not sweaty. If you want more space, you can put your water bladder between the mesh panel and the suspension, but that will block the air flow across your back. If you're limber you can reach the back stretch pocket without taking the pack off. Took this all over Utah and Yosemite!

A well made backpack

Rating:*****

Since my boyfriend loves to hike, I thought I would surprise him with this backpack. He absolutely loves this thing. Took it on a long day hike and made all the weight he was carrying seem like nothing. The vented suspension system is awesome! While others on the hike were complaining about how sweaty their backs were, he was not. His back was pretty dry. Very comfortable pack although one thing my boyfriend did complain a little bit about was after a hours of hiking the lower part of the backpack irritated his back. It may have been the aluminum frame hitting his lower back. "Some more adjustments for next time and it'll be perfect" he says. Overall, very durable and roomy.

Nice comfortable pack

Rating:*****
I have taken this pack dayhiking on a number of occasions including Red Rock Canyon in the Nevada desert. The pack is very comfortable and the Airspeed suspension helps keep your back dry. Osprey improved this pack for 2009. There is less of a cavity between the back mesh and the suspension frame. This allows the load to sit closer to your back and thus makes the pack feel more stable especially when climbing over rocks or traversing along a canyon wall. It also makes it easier to pack than the previous version. So far I am very pleased with this pack. I would recommend this pack to others.

Many years now...

Rating:*****

my number one pack, the air ventilation system they developed against your back, along with egomaniacally correct hip belt has yet to be matched. Not sure why not. I have every size with Osprey and use the 35 the most for trad and waterfall ice. Zippers will give out first, but about the same time you will start to develop a hole or two in the bottom of the fabric as well. All normal for the full time abuse on limestone and sandstone that I give them.

Need 2nd compartment

Rating:*****
I am serious hiker, two times a week run 20 mile everyweek. I like almost everything about it, but it should have better zippers(strong)9 and the roomly compartment(what they have now for day hike) should be divided by two for stuff less used like a deutor futura 32,36,38.... Last week, I did 17 miles, it felt really great,I did't feel any weight during I walk. I wish I have little big hip belt pocket than now, so I can use snack. Generally specking......good and comfortable, satified.

Osprey Atmos 35, Good Pack

Rating:*****

Ii have tried many packs and have always found Osprey Atmos pack to be a good choice. This Osprey Atmos 35 is very good for what I need. I was looking for a comfortable pack, in the 2000 ci range. It has enough to be very functional. Water system storage is good. Good pockets. Excellent suspension which really does work to bring some cooling. The waster battle pockets on the side are a good size.
Good pack for day, long day, and overnight.

Excellent Ventilation

Rating:*****
This is one great pack. I've been looking for the best relief from a sweat soaked back. I live in the Phoenix area and with the temps we have in the summer, the air mesh panel is a Godsend. Other packs with the chimney panel only work for a little while; so far this one has kept me cooler and drier by far. Additionally, the unique harness straps with their ventilation holes help in cooling and, while adequately padded, aren't bulky.

Great Pack!!

Rating:****
The Atmos is a great pack. it has lots of space and is very confortable, the possibility of placing the bladder in two different places is great and maximizes the load capacity, just one thing if you are planning to carry something like a Pelican Case with a camera, put it in the bottom of the pack if not the friction between the case and the frame will damage the pack, I can tell you that from my own experience!!!!

Negative Reviews:

Misses in Primary Role of Transferring Weight to Hips

Rating:**

Most things about this pack are OK, but it has a killer flaw in that the suspension doesn't transfer weight to your hips very well / at all. (The hip belt is sewn on to a trampoline mesh on the back, so the whole pack kind of wobbles around as you move.) Too bad they didn't add some traditional size stabilizer straps as this would make it work...

Other major con is that the severe curve in the back panel makes it a pain to pack.

"Lacks versatility"

Rating:***
To put it bluntly, I'd keep looking before I'd purchase this pack again probably wouldn't. It's tough to load, tough to balance. Not very versatile when it comes to some of the extras it just seems plain reasonable to hang off it, eg, a sleeping bag every so often yeah, I know That's not what it was intended for ... right?. Forget about accessing the side compartments when it's on your back think water bottle, tools, sun block. And some of the compartments that seem like they should serve other purposes are rendered useless when this is packed out, due to compression from other compartments. It's just too disappointingly not accomodating. I expected more....

"Lightweight, comfortable, and durable. But packing efficiently is a chore."

Rating:***
This is a great pack with one big flaw. Though it has served me well the past year, and the air suspension has never lost it's novelty or comfort factor, I have a few issues with it. . the interior has a long compartment down the middle of the spine. If you pack this, it can make getting a notebook or laptop into the bag very difficult. Also, it has an odd bend at the bottom of the bag that can make packing it a challenge. Overall, a B- effort from an A+ maker.
