Gregory Z Pack - 3560 - 3950cu in

The Gregory Z pack 3560-3950cu in subscribes to the theory that light is right, but that there is a right light. Stick with what you need, and get rid of what you don't.

The Z Pack shrinks down for the shortest of trips, and even sheds an additional 9 ounces with a removable framesheet and stay. But it also handles a 40-pound load with ease during a weeklong trip through Utah's Wasatch Mountains. With a sewn-in Sport harness and Gulwing Plus waistbelt, it's not just a lightweight sack. Instead, the Z Pack is loaded with these lightweight conveniences: top and side access for easy access to every nook and cranny; a generous front bucket pouch; and a second front pocket and top pocket, both with water resistant zippers. Stuff this pack full, but don't be surprised if you forget you have it on. Three different sizes available.

Osprey Packs Luna 60 Women's Backpack - 3400 cu in

The Osprey Luna 60 does it all, provided "all" is limited to backpacking activities. Top-loading design means you can pile mildly unsettling amounts of gear into the Luna, while a hidden vertical access zipper means you're not up the proverbial creek when you realize the TP is near the bottom of the pack. Osprey's ReCurve suspension distributes weight evenly and efficiently into the heat-moldable BioForm CM hipbelt. Yeah, heat moldable like ski boots, so that you have a true custom hipbelt fitted for you. No hot spots, no weird pressure, just comfy, even weight distribution. The Luna's hydration pouch detachs from the main pack to become a mini-pack in its own right, so you can make quick forays away from the big pack without drying up. If long trails are your passion, the Luna 60 is your backpack.

An included hydration sleeve sits in its own pouch on the back of the big pack, and can detach to become a small self-contained hydration pack. Solid design, comfortable suspension and the obligatory cool zip-off accessories make the Crescent 70 an awesome Osprey offering.
