Great breakdown of the two versions!

I got a 65LT. One point about holding trekking poles is that they can be twisted into the ice axe loops and held tight with the top strap. It’s not convenient to move them on the go but it’s very secure- you’ll never lose them

Ah good to know.

Thank you for the solid video, you've helped me very much with the final stage of decisions! I'mma go with the LT. Heading to Japan for 2 weeks!

Good choice for Japan if you are hiking to hostelling IMHO. I've been traveling to Japan for over 30 years now and I just bought one of these for my next trip.

This answers the questions I had about the bags. I tried on the packs today.

@@WillFaulkner Your video helped me to understand the differences between the AG LT and the original AB. I'm leaning towards the LT , if I get the Osprey - which is likely. - But I am also considering the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60.

Great review Will. Appreciated! Any way you could review/compare the Rook 65 with the AGLT 65?

Yea I’ll look into it

I just got an atmos ag 50 (not LT) yesterday and it came with the rain cover on the bottom beneath the sleeping bag access zipper.

Oh that’s good to know !

With respects, it maybe what you dont expect it to be, but we all have different expectations regarding a backpack. This LT is meant to be different from the normal one. ..saying that, Im 60 and have a long term back problem from my Army service, and have used all the Osprey Atmos range. They all have been perfect for me. I been out two days with this new one, and its just as good as the others but with more capacity. And suffered no back problems..It serves it puprpose,and definitely gets a great thumbs up from me 👍..

I think you might have missed that your "old" AG 50 got replaced with a new AG series (differences are really minor). The AG LT series sits next to the new AG as just a less feature rich, lighter version of that. Nothing major, just the video presents the LT as a replacement for the AG which it's not meant to. LT is still a great choice 👍

Yea I don’t see it as a replacement. It’s more to compare which one is best depending on your needs.

Thanks

the ag system is all you should focus on. its the most important part. the rest is just a standard back.

Agree, the ag system really is amazing

Can the detachable brain be used as a daypack or sling?

No, you could carry it but it has no built in strap

You could if you had a sling of your own but it’s not designed that way. I’ve thought the same thing, it’s not hard to rig it up.

If you want this you have to pay triple the price for the UNLTD 64 😂
