MYSTERY RANCH Scree 32 Pack - Women's vs Osprey Atmos AG 65

Most women will probably get the best fit with an XS/S. Torso length is adjustable for a custom fit.

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

Accessing the stuff you've got packed is easy, which is a nice feature on the trail or on a train check out the mystery ranch men's and women's scree ...

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...

With the women's pack I had to loosen the shoulder straps a little to get it on/off comfortably (minimal shoulder "squirming").

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.

The overall fit is nothing short of outstanding. I walk to work and carry my uniform in this pack, and my top priority in a pack is fit and comfort. Although I would prefer to have more organization features (key keeper, admin pocket, etc.) nothing compares to the fit and feel of this pack

However, this bag fails where it matters most: comfort and weight carrying. Some people seem to love this bag, so maybe it just fits them better, or maybe they aren't used to having a bag with proper hip weight transfer. Your mileage may vary, but here were my issues: 1.) The biggest design flaw is that the plastic frame that gives the pack structure in no way connects to the hipbelt

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.

That Mystery Ranch has done is that they've now added these large internal pockets that you could each easily feed a 32-ounce and Al Jean and they put...

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...

This is preferable to stuffing everything vertical inside so that all items are easily accessible. The zippers are excellent and are sealed over with a protective covering when zipped closed. This together with the top flap seems sure to prevent rain from reaching the contents. Padding is good and the fit is comfortable with plenty of adjustments

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
