What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—water resistance—directly echoes critics' note that the pack is water-resistant but lacks a dedicated rain cover and isn't fully waterproof.
In their words
“I’ve been an Osprey fan for yonks, using an Atmos AG 50L for backpacking around Europe, including when I go to the Austrian and Swiss Alps for skiing. It has never let me down. The Osprey packs are well-designed, tough and they look great. Yet light in weight.”

“Early days but seems well made and robust and you can get a lot in. Perfect for a weekend away or a bit longer. Previous version ( which I also owned) had a large separate pocket on the front, now moved to the back and intended for a laptop. . . I preferred the convenience of this at the front for separating stuff easily, so have knocked off a star.”
