Howdy Guys and Gals.. Longtime lurker here.

I'm currently shopping for a new pack. It's been awhile since I've been in the game so to speak. My goal in 2016 is to do the JMT along with whatever else I can fit in my schedule. I've been looking at 3 packs in particular for upcoming local intrastate multi-day trips as well as for the JMT. Where I live I don't have to worry about bears. I'm just preparing for the future hence the topic.

I've been eyeing the new Osprey Atmos 50 AG, Exos 58, and the ULA Circuit. I'm not a hardcore UL person but getting there. I'm revamping pretty much all my gear.
I know the Exos and Circuit can fit the Weekender but does anyone have experience with the newer Atmos 50 and the Weekender or any bear can for that matter? The reason I'm asking is because of the curvature of the internal frame. There's a nice hump in the main storage compartment.
Any other packs I should be looking at? I'm looking at 35 pounds max in load and can fit a bear can.

Thanks

The Weekender is quite small (aot the Expedition), and I would imagine it would fit in any of your pack choices.

You might try going to your local outfitter store, and trying to put one of their bear canisters inside each pack. If a pack can fit a BV450 or similar, it will fit a Weekender.
