Osprey Crecent 75 Review

"Well i bought this pack only to go on a little expedition up MT. Tabaguece near Denver Co. let me say, as long as it is ajusted for your body it is a great pack and it has a lot of room. I recommend this pack to anyone, beginner or expert."

"I bought this pack almost two years ago now and have enjoyed using it. I have used the pack during the summer and this January, I used it for a four day snowshoeing trip. It has always carried loads very comfortably even when over loaded. I also liked the fact that it was made in the US. If you are questioning whether it is worth spending more then a Kelty or Jansport, I would say definitely. I will have this pack for years to come since in two years it has held up flawlessly to my abuse."

"I bought the Cresent 90, big brother to the 75. During a week long off-trail trek in Glacier it carried 70 lbs (not exagerating) flawlessly. Use a lot of small bags to organize gear and stuff whatever you need. Your back is the limit not the pack. The fit is awesome but make sure you size the belt before taking off on a long haul."

"I have used this pack for two summer treks in the High Pyrenees. It is a superb piece of kit.

This is a very stable tent with superb compressions. Access to the pack is easy via the zip that runs the length of the pack.

Both shoulders straps and hip belt are very effective and very comfortable. I have now added a bio-form hip belt which really does make things even more comfortable.

The Crescent is also proving to be bombproof. No worries about this being flung around mountains or airplane baggage compartments!"
