Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5 Full vs Osprey Atmos AG 65

It really doesn't feel comfortable to carry any more than 25 pounds, and that's pretty sad, I carry a 6 pound laptop (with cord), a 32oz nalgene, 2 books, around 3-5 pounds each, another 5 subject notebook, and just a pelican 1040 case with pens and USB's. This isn't even a lot of things to carry on your EDC and the bag is just super uncomfortable. And the Yoke, why design backpacks with interchangeable yokes but this one is specifically to this bag, i tried swapping in my extra hunting yoke for at least double padding and the straps are too thick to run through the small plastic clips, so honestly this bag is a no from me, dawg. Attached pictures are the usual amount of things i carry to class, the shoulder strap thickness, and the plastic clip thickness

My dad went the opposite direction - he started out with an "ultralight" pack (Osprey Exos 38 IIRC) and eventually went with an Atmos 65. He just carried too much stuff for an ultralight pack. He didn't care much for high daily mileage, the walking part of backpacking is a necessary evil in his mind to get to the backcountry camps for fishing and generally relaxing. Trying to stuff all of his junk into a smaller pack with limited support wasn't much fun, so he got a bigger pack and he enjoys backpacking much more

I'm used to having the main compartment zipper be maybe a Ykk number 10 or something. visibly more beefy, so I know this is that main compartment. Thi...

They're really thick, really chunky, and they're all this mess material which is obviously going to allow some airflow. and you're not going to get sw...

Seems like a lot of other people have gone into a lot of detail on this bag, so I'll hit on the major bits. Love the tuck away waist straps to help when you're going long/have a heavy load. Magnetic rip ups are sick, and speed up access. Front pockets are great, but access is a little tough for bigger hands

We spend so much of our lives going from A to B. Why not be efficient, organized, and comfortable with a well designed backpack along the way.

Compared to other bags I use, what I like about this bag is the triple zipper. I also like its appearance, and I don't worry about it being worn out when climbing or being thrown on the ground often.

Used bag one trip! Loved it packed for second trip the following weekend and the outside zipper popped off! Osprey says online 10-12 weeks hoping when I come back from this weekend trip it will be less then that! Will redo this review after dealing with Customer service

And when the kids are older this will become my go to for day hikes and everyday carry for my stuff. Plus it's Mystery Ranch, so it'll stand the test of time. Super well built and I'm sure it'll hold up for years. Any dads out there, you can't go wrong with this one

Now if you were going to be doing that, you would definitely have to be very careful with how you pack it, how much gear you take, how much food you p...

The top handle is pretty robust and has a little bit of cushion in it. It's pretty comfortable to hold on to it does have a seam at the front that can...

They're much more. They're thicker, have more padding on them, and are more durable than the Osprey 58 and 48 litre packs or more light weight packs t...

Plenty of space and compartments. It will "fit" my 17" alienware laptop. There's a technique to getting it in but it works. Anything smaller would be no problem

Highly recommenced! Get them before they are gone, Osprey has discontinued this model for some unknown/Stupid reason. Why you discontinue your best product is beyond me. Bring it back, and with more color/custom options! Id buy three just on principle.

I use the pack to carry camera gear along with the usual dad-carry gear like snacks, drinks, extra clothing, first aid kit, and frisbees, etc. I find the suspension system quite comfortable and I actually like the fact that the shoulder straps aren't overly padded. They (the shoulder straps) are nicely contoured and once you have the system dialed in for your torso, everything wraps and hangs nicely.

You'll be more comfortable and all your stuff will remain dry. The plus side is that this was a very comfortable pack to wear when dry and my shoulders never became too sore over the course of the day. It was easy to control comfort by alternately tightening and loosening the waist belt so that the hips take more or less of the load.
