PSA: This backpack has a very low weight rating for its size. I used it on a couple of summit climbs and it absolutely killed my back. The suspension system isn't designed for more than 25-30lbs. I absolutely wouldn't plan to carry more than sleeping pads, bags, jackets, snacks, and some water. I upgraded to an AETHER PRO 70 which has a suspension design rated to 60lbs.

Could you please share if you looked also at the Atmos and why you have decided then on the Aether pro? Thank you 🙏

Atmos caps out at 40lbs according to Osprey. The few times I've done multi-day climbs, my pack has been closer to 50-60lbs with winter rated tents and cooking utensils. You gain more organizational pockets with the Atmos though.
