Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
Osprey Atmos is the best line of packs; if you do not get the 35, get the 50 or 65! The suspension is great and breaths very well. The 2009 design allows you to fit much more into the main compartment than any other breathable pack I have seen. They are just about as light as the Exos but are made of a more durable material. I especially love the stretchy mesh drying pocket and compression straps.
I was surprised when comparing the Atmos 35 to the Atmos 50 and 65 because the main compartment is almost as large if you only pack to the top of the frame (I hate packs that stick up high). It seems the extra liters (on the 50 and 65) come mostly from extra space above the frame and the brain.
I used this bag for a 2 week trip through Europe. The 35 liters fit everything I needed (I packed pretty heavy b/c varying climates - London and Rome). I also used it for intense day hiking along the Cinque Terre cliffs. The lack of a brain and compression straps makes this a great day bag. Plus it is as light as most day bags.
I have a large size and which can be carried on any American flight.
The zippers on the main compartment are convenient and allow you to quickly access much more than with the traditional design (drawstrings and brain).
If you intend to use the pack for travel or want the flexibility to compress it down and have a great day bag - get this pack over the Atmos 50 or 60.
If you are only using it for hiking and camping I would probably go with the 50 because if you need to you can pack above the frame and fit more.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I love flying with this pack. It is the perfect size for a long weekend/5 day trip. And it fits in the overhead compartments (except on little commuter shuttles).
Its super comfy, and it sits great on your back even with the hip and sternum straps undone (more than I can say for my bookbag).

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I have put many miles on trails and less, both professionally and for myself, and this pack just keeps surprising me.
First, the down side. This is not a pack which is capable of supporting the Brady bunch for a month. It is small(ish) and will support one person for 3 days if they pack wisely. This limitation is in construction and volume.
A small gripe has to do with the zippered mesh pockets on the hip belt. They are great for storing fast access items, but are a little too small and positioned too far aft to use both hands to close the zipper. Closing the zipper with one hand deforms the pouch, making the zipper stop about 2/3 of the way closed. Since I use these pockets for binoculars and camera (larger items), they remain in place if partially zipped.
The rest of the bad news is taken care of... Osprey corrected nearly every issue I had with my pack (one of the first Atmos 35s) in their new models. I will upgrade soon.
The good news is that the materials used in this pack seem lightweight, but have yet to fail after 3 years of rough country outings. Further, the contents remain dry in the pack, you can haul 3 hydration bladders if you feel inclined, and the pack can be disgorged in 2 minutes thanks to its wide open design.
Now for the awesome bit. The internal frame is the first one I can use to actively climb in. Keeping long items centered and packing the sides in layers allows this pack to flex with you, Something impossible in any other internal frame pack I've tried. I have destroyed 3 frame packs by twisting my torso in emergencies.
For ye of little faith, go to REI, pick up the pack, and load about 40 pounds in it. Cinch down the load, adjust the pack for your body, and tighten the chest strap so the airform mesh is in constant contact with your back from hip to shoulder. Now hit the climbing wall. As you reach for the next hold you will notice the pack flexing with you while evenly distributing the load.
Can it be improved? Heck yes. What can't? Widen the hip belt at the attachment point on the pack. Reduce the width of the hip belt pockets and put a second set of pockets on the hip belt further forward. Rather than a zipper, make a cloth cover with moulded frame. This will keep things a little drier. For a closure, use a squeeze clip or magnetic latch, either may be operated with one hand.
Allow the chest strap to be wider with less elastic and place the closures to the side to make it more compatible with a chest board used in SAR work. A custom fit reversible camo/black cover will keep the hunters and LARP folks happy.
Overall, awesome pack. Osprey has my business.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I use the Atmos 35 for a few dayhikes going from the desert grasslands into the mountains. This pack has great organizational features on the main pack and on the hipbelt. The "stow-on-the-go" straps are surprisingly effective.
Best is the ventilation. It catches any little breeze, and in the New Mexico desert, I just call it airconditioned.
Unfortunately there is not a lot of load transfer on this pack for my tastes, so I doubt I'd take it (or it's bigger versions) on an overnight. Also this pack squeaks after hiking for a few hours. Not a show stopper but annoying.
I will use it for full dayhikes in the desert grasslands where every breeze counts but not much after that. Well maybe for travel on planes too.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I had a hard time deciding between the atmos and the Osprey exos 46 pack. I'm happy that I bought the atmos. I've done some research on how to pack lightweight and wanted a smaller lighter weight pack. I tried on the exos and liked it but, I was worried about the durability of the fabric. So, going off the osprey sight and REI's sight(with no reviews) I decided to buy this pack, I was worried it would be to small because I had not seen it yet, so I risked it. I recently used it as a carry on for week long trip to Texas with no other luggage. it had plenty of room for my sleeping bag, big agnes sleeping pad, fresh clothing for a week, toiletries/pack towel, and a few electronics with chargers. it was light and I lived pretty comfortable out of this pack, I love it. I put more in it than I would for a 3 to 4 day backpacking trip and it seems pretty durable.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I have used the pack for two weeks now and have covered 23 miles of difficult trail wearing it. It is comfortable to carry and adjusts easily. But, the side pouches that can be used to carry water bottles can't be reached while hiking. That is ok if you carry a hydration system as well. But, the hose ports for the hydration system are cramped and a Camelbak bite valve will get the pack wet when you try to thread it through them. Also when hanging a 100 oz reservoir in the intended pouch it has to bend around the packs suspension and mine twisted around itself on the last hike.
I do like the belt pockets for small things I want to keep handy.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
I took the Atmos 35 with me on the Inca Trail--carrying clothes and gear (no tent, no sleeping bag, no cooking) though I could have easily fit a sleeping bag and pad without overstuffing. It was an incredibly comfortable pack. The straps keep it secure and well-balanced. The side straps that allow you to compress and tighten your load will keep the pack manageable even at its most loaded. The stretch-pocket on the outside is great for storing a layer for easy drying. My only complaint about the pack is the access to the side pockets--they are a bit of a pain to reach back to, and I found myself asking friends to pull my water out. If you are using a hydration system, this won't be a problem, as the pack is designed to be compatible. Other than that, this is a great light pack for 1, 2 or even 3 night trips.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
This is my first real pack (not a motified bookbag). It is great. I broke it in climbing Mt St Helens (with an out of state visitor and ended up wearing this pack twice as long as I planned). The airflow features allow you to dress for the weather without having a sweaty back. It can easily hold enough gear for 2 people on a long day hike. As I plan on hiking with my kid once he is a bit older, I am excited that this pack can easily hold 8 L of water (2 3L hydration reservoirs and 2 1L water bottles) with intended pockets. I had no problems with the hydration reservoir area. The mesh feels a little funny on my shoulder blades, but after 10 hours everything still felt comfortable. I should mention that I am 6'4" and slender and the large size fit me great!

Comments about Osprey Atmos 35 Pack:
This packs misses in its ability to transfer weight to your hips. There's a pretty weak connection between the hip belt and the back "trampoline" panel which lacks stability and the internal frame doesn't connect directly to the hip belt either.
As there's a lot of unnecessary movement, the pack is not recommended for anyone with a bad back.
