Reviews here >> http://www.rei.com/product/748725?cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-748725&mr:trackingCode=C472F02B-D272-DD11-873B-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA#
One of the most rigorously designed packs on the market, the lightweight Osprey Atmos 50 sets a new standard in comfort for lightweight backpacking.
Top-loading design with a floating lid pocket allows extensive gear storage
Features twin front slash pockets with water-resistant welded zippers, stretch-woven front and side pockets and zippered mesh pockets on hipbelt
New easy path zippers make it simple to open the hipbelt pockets with one hand
Osprey AirSpeed suspension features an aluminum alloy frame and titanium torsion rods for support yet flexibility while carrying heavy loads
Anchoring to the lumbar area, the suspension provides uniform pressure with no hot spots
ErgoPull hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom--not through the center--relieving hipbone pressure
Thermo-formed and perforated waffle-pattern shoulder straps and hipbelt save weight and enhance breathability
Hydration-compatible design features hydration tube portholes and uses cavity behind mesh backpanel to hold reservoir (sold separately)
Daisy chain with removable shockcord clips let you attach a bungee cord for lashing on extra gear
Removable sleeping pad straps
I have 2 - One is a short and one is a medium. The short is $100. and the Medium is $125. - Both are red.
Yes, they are on sale @ REI @ $150.(plus 8.1% sales tax) $161.05
Specifications for torso / waist and hips / base volume (cu. in. and liters) / weight are as follows:
Small - <18.5 in. / <31 in. / 2,800 cu. in. (47 liters) / 2 lbs. 15 oz.
Medium - 18-20.5 in. / 30-34 in. / 3,000 cu. in. (50 liters) / 3 lbs. 1 oz.
Large - >20 in. / >33 in. / 3,200 cu. in. (53 liters) / 3 lbs. 3 oz. _________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Those are great packs - I've been incredibly happy with mine, both for short backpacking trips and dayhikes. _________________ Mountains complement desert as desert complements city, as wilderness complements and completes civilization. - Ed Abbey |

Tim,
Likely REI would exchange sizes for you - if you don't want to be bothered I'd be happy to do it for you, if you are sure you want it.
They both are totally unused with all tags attached and still in the manufacturers wrapping.
Let me know.

Hmmm, why did you have to put that idea in my head. Let me think about, heading out of town this weekend. |
