The bag performed extremely well through out the entire track. The small/medium size side back facing pockets are great for stuffing easy to get items and are decently deep. I am a fan of built in pockets for easier storage. Quality and construction of this bag are top notch. My complaint to the manufacturer is to please make the top bag/flip bag, that goes over the main body of the bag, to please make it a buckle release/ Mort resilient removable verses feeding material through a tightening system.

I really like most of the new changes on this upgraded pack. The side access to the main compartment is a welcome addition as are the lashing points on the brain of the pack (helps to lash my sleeping bag, so that I can carry the bear canister inside the pack without sacrificing space). The materials used a recycled, which is good, but hope they last as long as the regular materials. I haven't had the terrible squeaking so far that the my prior version bag had. This squeaking was pretty common (the bag would let out squeaking sounds with every step - highly annoying when hiking. Time will tell if that squeaking has been addressed by addressing the frame build. My only con is that they have reduced the maximum weight capacity. The prior version in Medium, had a load capacity of 30-50 lbs. This new bag is now 30-40 lbs. This might be enough for those that backpack with little gear, but we like to take lots of food on our 8 day trips to the Yosemite Wilderness and the reduced capacity is giving us pause. Other than that recommend this bag. Read more

lots of good words have been said about Atmos 65 AG, so I would only like to mention a sturdiness and design. Very comfy in any way, but perhaps i ordered a lesser size for my torso, therefore i feel a little discomfort my backneck area. That's it. Close to perfectness Read more

I took this out on a canyoneering trip and the pack was the least of my concerns which was awesome given how much I filled the bag. It has tons of straps to make it very adjustable, it's material is high quality, it has pockets in great locations, and the weight distribution is excellent. I did slip in some mud and it easily gunked up the lower zippers making it much tougher to open then before. I wish that wouldn't so easily happen but I'm happy to look past that given how excellent everything else is. You won't go wrong getting this pack. I can't wait to use it again. Read more
