What's New with the Updated 2022 Osprey Atmos / Aura 65 AG 

Very good review. I went thru their AMG and sent in my pack due to the DEATH SQUEAK. They sent me an email and said they cannot repair it but will replace it with this 2022 version. I chose the black one. Im bummed it wont have the flap that says osprey anymore if i decided to go without the brain of the pack, but im happy with the other changes they made. Especially the easier way to adjust torso length and the zippers, and of course the FREE rain fly! Thanks for the review

I just got mine and scratched my head about the "missing" top flap for a few minutes. Then I took the "brain" off and thought to myself, maybe it's meant to be mounted upside down if you don't need the extra space? Yep. Unmount it, unthreading the buckles in the back, and remount it upside down. There's your flush top flap. You can still put some small stuff in there if needed but without the floppiness. 🙂

Dude, I have just bought this bag after watching your review...totally appreciate this review - best I have seen on this version of the bag .. make sure you post updates after use. Mark, near London, UK. :)

Great video!!!! Your old pack breakdown.... Mirrors my own experience quite a bit. I got a large Alice pack in the late 90's. Was issued one in the army. After getting out, I kept doing 2-3 day hikes and camping trips with that pack. I'm getting a bit older now and decided to see if these new-fangled packs are actually worth the cost. A couple of years ago I got my hands on an Atmos 50. That thing was a game-changer. I'm giving that to my teen son, and I'm stepping up to the AG 65. Your review helped me make my mind up. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you, very helpful!

Thank you for this video bro ,I've been wracking my brain as to why my top lid only had 1 lid unlike the other versions of this pack ,I was searching every zip to find a second lid but my pack is the same as yours .....Great video & very informative ,thank you from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏻

Very informative and honest video, thanks a lot. When you eventually have used this pack for a lot of miles, I would love to see some kind of follow up review to this first impression, and hear your comments on f.ex the hip belt velcro, if it holds up, or gives way as the pack gets a lot of miles on it, and the velcro has been under prolonged periods of strain.

Thanks for the comment on the ‘missing’ flap to cover the main compartment when the brain is removed. Not sure why they got rid of it as now there is a reluctance to remove the brain as it makes the pack more vulnerable exposed and less pleasurable to look at.

Good overall review. I was curious on the updates. Definately some improvements, but really feel Osprey should have kept the top flap as an option to the top lid. I use it often on my older model and this seemed pretty essential to me. Seems to be the only major downside. I've used mine 50+mi at a time and they carry very well. Good solid bags with a good garuntee.

Any guesses in if the updated mesh that goes on the back would provide more air? The older version has bigger holes in the mesh and “looks” more ventilated.

Nice pack I have the older version. Did you consider the aether 65 if so what made you choose the atmos over the aether

Great review! Thanks for that! I'm in doubt about which size to pick, because I'm 1.84cm height and my torso is 49cm. That's nearly the upper limit for the s/m and the lower limit for the l/xl. Which size would you recommend based in your experience with the bag?

Can a large smartphone 6,7" fit in the side pockets on the hip belt?

Do the zippers at 33:22 go into the main part of the bag or is it separate?

A conclusion at the end would be awesome dont know if u do this normaly

hello, what is your height and weight? How many days are you hiking? What is the size of the backpack? thank you

Ok

Does it squeak?
