Hi Jannik,

I’ve used the Osprey Atmos AG 65 for like a year or so (I hike mostly multi- day hikes somewhere in Europe under different weather conditions) and had to return it because it was very squeeky and it already showed signs of wear and tear on the sides and top.

Osprey told me I had lifetime guarantee on their products and they sent me the Aether Plus 60 (because the Atmos was out of stock). Been loving that backpack since the start. It’s big, bulky and weighs about 2.8kg but that’s no problem for me. The convenience and roughness is amazing on this one.

With this whole experience a couple of things are important to me (and which I will take into consideration when buying another backpack):

– Guarantee (I want to have a “no questions asked” return/guarantee policy)

– Sturdiness (It needs to be able to take a beating or a scrape against a rock)

– Price (Backpacks are expensive in my opinion, especially the UL ones. So I try to pick the most bang for my buck)

– Padding/ support (I always hike with a total weight of about 23-26 kilograms on my back and a good, breathable padding/ support is vital for me)

– Pockets/ layout (I really like it when the brand puts some thought into where and why they place certain pockets etc on the backpack. It’s a big convenience for me to have a logical layout in which I can organise all my stuff intuitively)

Hope this was a little bit helpful 🙂

I´ve been using the NatureHike Cloud 2P for 1,5 year now and it´s been a sturdy lightweight tent in all kinds of weather (even used it for my winter hike). It’s only about 149 euro’s at the moment.
