Which is better for an AT hiker, the Osprey Ather or Atmos ????
Which is better for an AT hiker, the Osprey Ather or Atmos ????The one that holds your gear comfortably and fits well. It's all a matter of personal preference.
Whichever fits better. The Atmos is not as adjustable as the Aether. The frame sheet impinges on the carrying area a bit which some people do not like.

Whats nice about the Aether is that the hip belt is interchangeable - e.g you can get a .large pack with a med belt...or what ever fits you best. The hip belt is molded to your hips too...super comfy.
I have a Atmos and a Aether - the Aether fits me best and is more comfy

No thanks, I like around 60 liter size.
My Aether is the best fitting, most balanced pack I've ever owned. Love it! Very comfortable hip-belt system. My 15-yr-old son loves his Atmos. They're both very good packs. The Atmos has a built-in "air space" to help keep your back cool; disadvantage is that it takes away some pack space. Others have suggested using that "air gap" to store a water bladder, leaving more room in the main compartment for gear, as well as providing an additional cooling element.
