Osprey Packs Kresta 30 Backpack 1709 1831cu in

As most women know, backpacks are often the unfortunate victim of the pink and shrink laser beam. However, designers over at Osprey heard the call for a functional, women specific touring backpack, and answered with the Kresta 30 Backpack. And in typical Osprey fashion, the Kresta has just the right amount of features necessary for a day of touring in the alpine without skimping on the overall fit or functionality. More specifically, this pack is fashioned with a women specific Light Wire suspension system that when combined with the padded help belt and stabilization straps, provide a comfortable and pressure free haul. The thermoformed, contoured back panel sheds snow easily, and ultimately reduces the build up of frozen precipitation on your backside. Not to mention, a deployable helmet net makes carrying your helmet a breeze, and the tuck away ice tool loop ensures you're able to haul technical tools without worrying about losing them en route. In keeping with its versatile construction, the Kresta boasts a horizontal snowboarding carrying feature, or if you're of the dual planked nature, it also touts an A frame or diagonal ski carrying design. Though, perhaps most importantly, the Kresta has a J shaped avalanche gear compartment, complete with dry pocket, so you're not only able to access your safety gear in a flash, but you're also able to separate your sensitive avy gear from wet skins or damp clothing. A back panel entry system enables you quick access to snacks or extra layers, and all of the Kresta's zipper pulls, as well as buckles, are glove and mitten friendly.
