The Atom RE40 (Olive Drab)

The perfect weekender

Unbelievably comfortable when packed correctly. The Atom RE40 has become my new favourite pack, replacing my old Zpacks Arc Haul. Build quality is best in business. If I am carrying under 9kg, the RE40 just cannot be beaten. Shoulder straps are fantastic too. This is my third Atom Packs pack. I have tried many brands, but keep coming back to Atom.

Good backpack , poor hip strap fitting

Backpack itself is very good- I am very happy with it , the problem is a hip strap, I bought this separately and I am very very disappointed. Whoever’s idea was the hip strap fitting to the backpack should think again, the fitting is awful !! The hip strap falls off the backpack every 10-20 min, it is so annoying to stop walking and fix this . I understand you try to make money but common. The strap should be attached to the backpack permanently.

Atom RE40 why wouldn't you?
