This isn’t just about picking a color. It’s about making a super-light pack that fits you just right. Let’s see if it’s worth the wait!
What’s the Atom+ Custom Pack Builder?
It’s not just one pack. It’s a way to create the perfect lightweight backpack. Their updated customizer lets you build it how you want it. You can pick the size, materials, colors, pockets, and straps. Plus, you see a live preview, so you know what you’re getting.
You can change almost everything, like the torso and hipbelt size. You can also pick colors for almost all parts and materials.
Building Your Pack: The Experience
The Interface: 9/10
The online customizer is cool. You see your pack change as you pick stuff. It’s almost like a game. The layout is easy to use, so you won’t get lost.
Customization Choices: 10/10
Atom+ is great here. You can pick things like shoulder straps, bottom pockets, top straps, front elastic, and even side straps. You can change a lot:
- Pack size (30L to 60L, depending on the model)
- Torso length and hipbelt size
- Pocket materials
- Colors
- Straps
- Closures
Material Choices: 9/10
They use stuff like EcoPak EPX200, 210-denier Robic Extreema, Dyneema mesh, and 500-denier nylon. They feel tough even though they’re light. You can pick different materials for different parts.
How It Works: Is Custom Better?
Build Quality: 9/10
The Atom+ pack feels strong. The custom way makes it even better because it’s made just for you.

These packs are light. The custom 50L size is comfy and light. The quality of the build is great. The weight changes based on what you pick, but most are under 1kg.

Custom really helps here. You pick your exact torso length, so it fits great. The shoulder straps and soft back panel make it comfy for long trips.
What It Can Do: 8/10
You can make a pack that’s great for what you need it for, like long hikes or climbs. But this can make it not as good for other stuff.

Design Time: 8/10
Designing it is fun. Picking all the stuff makes it almost as fun as using it. You’ll change colors and parts until it’s just right.
How Long It Takes: 6/10
It takes time. They make these bags when you order them, so it can take weeks or months.

Selling It Later: 6/10
It’s harder to sell a custom pack. What’s great for you might not be good for someone else.
Who Should Get an Atom+ Custom Pack?
Good for:
- Serious hikers who know what they want

Final Word
The Atom+ Custom Pack Builder is good for the right person. It’s not just talk. The custom options are real, and the quality is there.
Overall: 8.5/10
The wait and cost are the only bad things. But if you want a pack that’s yours, this is as close as you’ll get.
