The Atmos is the better all-rounder and noticeably cooler on the back. The Baltoro carries heavy loads more comfortably above roughly 18kg.

Bottom line
For three-season trips with sensible loads — and especially in warm weather — the Atmos is the more pleasant pack. Carrying winter kit, camera gear or a shared tent above 18kg, the Baltoro's suspension is worth the extra weight.
