Osprey Packs Kresta 30L Backpack – Women’s

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.

  • A women-specific backpack for backcountry touring
  • Volume varies slightly depending on size (see size chart)
  • Snowboard and ski-carrying options assure versatility
  • J-shaped avalanche gear compartment offers easy access
  • Dry pocket keeps sensitive avy gear safe from damp skins
  • Side compression straps stabilize load
  • Tuck-away ice tool loop keeps technical gear secure
  • Hydration-system compatible with insulated hose sleeve

    Osprey Packs Kresta 40L Backpack – Women’s

    Osprey’s Kresta 40 Backpack is choice whether you’re ski touring to a hut for a minimalist overnighter or tackling a technical ascent filled with ice climbs and rappels. Osprey built this pack with a LightWire suspension system that assures a comfortable carry when you’re carrying loads as heavy as forty pounds. Two main compartments— one dry storage for sleeping bags and clothes and an other for avalanche gear—keep all of your backcountry essentials organized and easily accessible when you’re on the skintrack.

    The main compartment is accessed through the back panel for easy access, even with your skis, snowboard, or ice axes strapped through the front. The avalanche gear compartment is accessed through the front panel for quick access during emergencies. Osprey also equipped the Kresta with an insulated hydration reservoir and tube that prevent your water from freezing. The Kresta carries snowboards vertically or horizontally, skis diagonally or at an A-frame, and a helmet at the front. The helmet carry system stows away when you’re wearing your helmet. This pack also features a strap that secures climbing ropes, and a fleece-lined pocket that prevents goggles from getting scratched.

  • Backcountry ski pack for technical ascents and overnighters
  • LightWire suspension supports heavy loads while reducing weight
  • Back panel access for easy packing and unpacking
  • Front compartment for probe, shovel, and avalanche gear
  • Insulated hydration sleeve and tube port prevent freezing water

Buck protected nicely with these two foam pads here then you’ve got a nice big piece of d3o in the middle that’s going to get you protected now the cool thing about the way we do d3o we have. The d3 on the outside to protect you from the ice and the snow and on the inside we use a nice five millimeters. Really cushiony foam so you’re actually sitting on and resting on a phone so. When you hit the ice or the snow you’re not going to feel a sharp pain right thing you’re going to hit the foam that’s going to absorb the impact while the d3o and the backside absorbs it and. Keeps it from bruising you and then really caused me a lot of pain it’s going to keep the walk in the next day also what we have been some knee pads which are really nice you can see on the. Back they’ve got velcro straps so depending on how long your legs are or what not you don’t really have to worry about you can always vote your knee pads in the right place, and they’ll stay there so that is the new women’s plus force x-pro d3o by demon.

    Over a demon here to look at and review. Our new women’s flex force d 30 padded. Shorts or ski snowboard and anything in. Between last year we came out with our men’s version had a great response and had a lot of women say hey why don’t we have a woman’s cut so 2012 here we are. And we’re proud to announce that it’s out so this is the women’s version as. You can see it’s got its got a woman’s. Cut to it so it’s got a nice figure when. You’re sticking it on underneath your clothes it’s going to hug you nice and tight it’s not going to look like you have a lot of padding on it’s going to keep your finger nice and slim we’re really excited that how to cut came out we’ve got a material that’s that’s very breathable and yet it’s going to feel. Like you have an extra layer on so it’s going to keep you warm especially if you’re skiing or snowboarding and you’re sitting on the snow a lot this is going. To give you an extra insulation we’ve. Got a dramatize waistband here we’ve got. Padding on the little bit of padding on. The hips and that and the and the front portion of the thighs so if you fall in. Those areas this is really going to take the brunt of it and in the back is. Really where the magic sad this is our d 30 piece rights here in the back that’s. Going to cover your old tailbone area the major places where you’re. Falling when you’re snowboarding either for the first time or the beginner or you’re hitting the park and get a little bit more aggressive you’re always hitting your tailbone or your backside your butt always coming away. With bruises now we’ve got the d3o there now one of the differences between our be 30 shorts and other people’s d3o shorts is that we actually run a and. Maybe you can see it here there’s a five millimeter pad inside of this and so. What that means is you’re actually sitting on and you’re hitting first is five millimeter pads which makes it a lot. More comfortable than sitting directly on the d3o so you’ve got the d300 that’s. Going to absorb the impact when you follow that eyes for the snow or the rain what if you’re falling on the bistro’s absorb that but then you’re going to be. Sitting on that that foam pad which is. Going to make it a lot more comfortable than sitting straight on the d3o so this.

Custom ability with this piece right here you’ve got rid protection. Lexan strips right here with foam on the. Back so you have a nice hard shell on the outside and on the inside that’s.

By just opening up these different pockets here and point out the foam. Pieces with the lexan you can actually. Remove all three units here to make the. Vest a lot of lighter and if you choose to. Do that there’s still a base layer of foam in there so you still have some protection if you want to or you can put it back in and zip it up and get maximum protection for yourself and that’s the. Same with the ribs here you can also remove these rib pieces if you don’t if you don’t want to protect your ribs you can pull those out from the front and be even more lightweight so this is.
