Osprey Atmos AG 65 vs Thule Subterra 30L

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.

What's up you guys? My name is Chase Reeves I Do in-depth reviews of bags like this so you don't have to think you know, look through their stupid pic...

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

" Both the 23L and the 30L can be deceiving. Look at the videos and see how they are held on the tables and how the 15" Mac has a long trip to hit the bottom of the laptop compartment. Note, you may not always see the side-by-side comparison by Thule unless you see the product page on a laptop. Big note: I'm 5'10" and both are longer-bodied in that they cover most of your back

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.

You can definitely fit up to a 15 inch laptop. Currently. What I have in here is my 13 inch macbook pro, but you can see there's some leftover space a...

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...

Maybe the shoulder straps could be a bit more reinforced and sturdier because if there is a failure point to this backpack, in my opinion it would be at the shoulder straps.

..then the sweaty guy wheezing behind her trying to keep up as he's weighed down with all the gear in the backpack

The build quality is excellent. If you want a light, rugged day pack for bike-commuting with nothing to snag you, this might be it. If you want it as a daily-use school bag, I would pass on this one, and go for one of Thule's ironically smaller (25L) "crossover" bags that seem to hold way more than this. See my photos for how the bottom half of the front pouch is nearly useless space

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

That's also have a zip the pocket here on the side Stretchy, so you can put a large water bottle in there This Park is pretty great too. You Got a str...

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...

You Won't find any crazy external components on this thing, but they have the essentials locked down. We Want to bring up the incredible side pocket f...
