Osprey Atmos AG 65 vs Osprey Kestrel 58 Pack - Men's

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.

Light weight comfortable amazing back back I've had good hiking back packs but this is my first osprey and wont be my last I've never felt such comfort carrying 35 40 pounds before I'm now a lifetime customer of osprey the kestrel is the best hiking back pack I've ever owned the quality is amazing strong where u need it light where you dont the rain cover is a plus dont like the color should be black but its bright so I suppose that's on purpose the whistle feature is amazingly loud I'm impressed by osprey and the kestrel is an amazing product

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 was looking for a rucksack for two to three day hiking and camping trips that needed to carry a synthetic sleeping bag and a two man tent and everything else required and this fills all requirements perfectly. I had bought a Snugpak Scorpion 2 tent and an Elite 3 synthetic sleeping bag and was very happy with both and was about to get the Rocketpak 70 litre which although I liked the aesthetics and it matching the rest of my set-up, when I researched it had very mixed reviews on build quality and then decided to do a lot more investigation. After hours of searching Osprey kept on coming up with very little complaint, I then needed to work out what size I needed as my sleeping bag and tent aren't the most compact, I worked out the volume of my largest items and concluded that the 58 litre would be big enough to carry all including, sleeping pad, food, water, camera etc. I also wanted something that fitted in with the rest of my olive green setup, so I didn't want dayglow colours, I wanted something discreet, this is is perfect
