Osprey Packs Atmos 50 Backpack
By S. Dee Davis
A favorite among avid hikers and travelers, the Osprey Packs Atmos 50 Backpack combines a sharp look with super comfort on the trail. Its suspension system evenly distributes the weight over your torso, so you won’t feel strained after wearing it for long periods. It has a custom-fitted hipbelt with mesh and foam for comfort and breathability, and hydration ports on both sides of the pack so you can stay hydrated on the go. Not that it matters, but it’s also our pick for the sharpest-looking pack of the lot. This pack is available for $140 to $390.

- Capacity: 3000 cubic inches
