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

    Ideal for through-the-gates missions at the resort and light-and-fast backcountry tours, the Ortovox Women’s Cross Rider 18 Backpack is specifically tailored to the shape and needs of female skiers and snowboarders. Slightly smaller and lighter than the men’s Cross Rider, and with straps contoured to fit ladies comfortably, this low-profile pack carries all the safety tools, water, snacks, and other accessories you need for trips into the backcountry, all without weighing you down or making you feel like a pack mule.

    Because “safety first” is a very real attitude in the backcountry, Ortovox included a separate compartment for avalanche rescue gear so you can quickly access it in the event of an emergency. A stowable net holds your helmet while you skin or hike so your head doesn’t get drenched with sweat on the way up. Ski and snowboard carry straps hold your shred sticks during steep stretches of hiking, while trekking pole loops hold your poles on the way down. Front and back panel access lets you quickly reach water, snacks, and extra layers, and there’s also room for a hydration reservoir (not included) when you want to make things extra convenient.

  • Compact skiing and snowboarding pack
  • Ski and snowboard carry options
  • Separate safety tool compartment
  • Stowable helmet net holds brain bucket
  • Compression strap manages load

  • This is the otter box cross rider 2020. Litre bag, and they’ve made lots of updates compared to previous years it’s. Got everything in there that i could want to go touring with, and so we’ll just take time to go through each. Of the features so first of all in our. Front pocket we have a deep pocket. Including a zippered one for all. Valuables included in there is a helmet. Net as well this is for when you’ve got. So many things in your bag you can attach your helmet onto the outside which will save space and mean that it’s out the way in my main pocket we have. Access to the main space there’s a space. For shovel and a probe and it’s as well. Compatible with a water hydration system there’s a hole at the top and cleverly. They’ve also added an insulated shoulder tube which should make sure that your water isn’t going to freeze if you are miles away from civilization this main. Pocket can also be accessed from the. Back meaning it’s a lot quicker to. Access any of the tools that you might need there’s another little compartment. Here for any other important bits that you don’t want to get lost in the main pocket when we talk about straps it’s. Got the across the chest strap with a whistle it’s also got a really strong. Waist strap with a really handy pocket. Here for quick access once you’re touring and at the front we have all of these as well so if you’ve not got a lot in your backpack it’s gonna help. Bring it nice and tight which makes it easier for walking obviously the. Attachment for the helmet can go on here as well there’s also a strap here for ice axes, and they’ve also included both. A diagonal and a vertical and ski strap. Holders so depending on whether you. Prefer to have them diagonal not complete personal preference but you’re not limited to one way with this backpack comes in at just. 850 grams so it’s on its own with plenty of space it still. Shouldn’t be too heavy by the time you filled it’s a very comfortable backpack thanks to the padding that you. Can see on the back and on the side straps and on the shoulder straps so if. You are going quite far away it’s going to be a really comfortable backpack it’s available from many retailers including. Snow and rock in seven different colors at the price point of one hundred pounds.

    This is a quick review of auto boxes free-rider 26 back country backpack which. I’m having to return to the supplier after only two days use due to been dissatisfied with the quality and having safety concerns the first problem comes. With how you secure the snowboard. Vertically using these upper and lower. Fastening straps its difficult to cinch. Tight these straps once they are. Fastened you have rather you have to put. The snowboard on attach the straps then. If there’s any slack undo the straps take your best guess on how tight they should be reattached them hopefully by the third time the board will be secure. Enough but that’s kind of redundant. Because after only 20 minutes whether you’re just walking or hiking the board. Those straps start to come loose and the. Board starts swaying left and right the. Second problem i found was with the helmet net once the board is secured. Vertically you can then you then have the option of securing the helmet net above that the problem lies in two areas. The first is with these brittle plastic. Clips on each corner of the net that. Used to go into the upper and lower. Loops with the snowboard in place these loops sits inset beneath the snowboard. So these clips have to stretch around. And attach into those loops which puts a. Lot of pressure on this inferior plastic. And then the second problem is with the. Lower loop material themselves they. Don’t seem to have taken into account that snowboards have edges sharp edges at that and already after only a few. Hours hiking this material has already started to fray and will eventually fail. I imagine on the second day of my hike i. Was about thirty minutes from the peak. Suddenly i hear my snowboard helmet falling down into a bowl beneath me. Because one of these clips broke i then. Had to get on my snowboard to take a line i didn’t particularly want to take to retrieve the helmet which was. Something i would consider unsafe the. Third problem was with the stitching. Already on day to the left the right. Hand strap lower strap used to secure. The snowboard the stitching has already. Started to come away it hasn’t happened on the opposite side yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time other than that the navigate compartment is nice and roomy roomier than other packs I’ve. Reviewed the spine protector. Although adequate could really be extended beneath and above to it to. Protect other parts of the spine the. Waist chest and arm straps are all very. Good but i wouldn’t really recommend buying this pack as it just doesn’t seem to have been field-tested or despite the. High price bracket and the various. Endorsements and reviews thanks.

    Okay so we’ve got the cross rider 20 backpacks here from otter box and it’s. Kind of your daily ski touring bag it’s. Really lightweight only weighs around 860 grams so that’s a real plus. Side to this backpack you wouldn’t want to take if you’re going to further afield though and it’s got some great features you’ve also got your whistles it’s got a nice comfort on the back. There nice strong straps and a waistband. Here with extra pouches and you can. Access it from both the rear and from the top it’s got a hydration system in. There and you’ve got obviously there’s. Some lovelies finger tight everything’s kind of hidden away in this bag so this is for your ski strap so you don’t actually have to have the straps hanging around the whole time you can just pop them back in this little pocket and i think that’s really cool because you know it’s always like a little bit too many straps on backpacks nowadays i think so i like what they’ve done there you’ve obviously got for your safety equipment there’s kind of like all the correct things for your probe and your axe and things like that so great little backpack got all the. Features you might need and yeah perfect. For those day to us so this is the otter box craft rider 20 liter and that’s. Available from ellis brigham and retails at about 100 pounds.

Waist strap with a really handy pocket. Here for quick access once you’re touring and at the front we have all of these as well so if you’ve not got a lot in your backpack it’s gonna help. Bring it nice and tight which makes it easier for walking obviously the. Attachment for the helmet can go on here as well there’s also a strap here for ice axes, and they’ve also included both. A diagonal and a vertical and ski strap. Holders so depending on whether you. Prefer to have them diagonal not complete personal preference but you’re not limited to one way with this backpack comes in at just. 850 grams so it’s on its own with plenty of space it still. Shouldn’t be too heavy by the time you filled it’s a very comfortable backpack thanks to the padding that you. Can see on the back and on the side straps and on the shoulder straps so if. You are going quite far away it’s going to be a really comfortable backpack it’s available from many retailers including. Snow and rock in seven different colors at the price point of one hundred pounds.

    This is a quick review of auto boxes free-rider 26 back country backpack which. I’m having to return to the supplier after only two days use due to been dissatisfied with the quality and having safety concerns the first problem comes. With how you secure the snowboard. Vertically using these upper and lower. Fastening straps its difficult to cinch. Tight these straps once they are. Fastened you have rather you have to put. The snowboard on attach the straps then. If there’s any slack undo the straps take your best guess on how tight they should be reattached them hopefully by the third time the board will be secure. Enough but that’s kind of redundant. Because after only 20 minutes whether you’re just walking or hiking the board. Those straps start to come loose and the. Board starts swaying left and right the. Second problem i found was with the helmet net once the board is secured. Vertically you can then you then have the option of securing the helmet net above that the problem lies in two areas. The first is with these brittle plastic. Clips on each corner of the net that. Used to go into the upper and lower. Loops with the snowboard in place these loops sits inset beneath the snowboard. So these clips have to stretch around. And attach into those loops which puts a. Lot of pressure on this inferior plastic. And then the second problem is with the. Lower loop material themselves they. Don’t seem to have taken into account that snowboards have edges sharp edges at that and already after only a few. Hours hiking this material has already started to fray and will eventually fail. I imagine on the second day of my hike i. Was about thirty minutes from the peak. Suddenly i hear my snowboard helmet falling down into a bowl beneath me. Because one of these clips broke i then. Had to get on my snowboard to take a line i didn’t particularly want to take to retrieve the helmet which was. Something i would consider unsafe the. Third problem was with the stitching. Already on day to the left the right. Hand strap lower strap used to secure. The snowboard the stitching has already. Started to come away it hasn’t happened on the opposite side yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time other than that the navigate compartment is nice and roomy roomier than other packs I’ve. Reviewed the spine protector. Although adequate could really be extended beneath and above to it to. Protect other parts of the spine the. Waist chest and arm straps are all very. Good but i wouldn’t really recommend buying this pack as it just doesn’t seem to have been field-tested or despite the. High price bracket and the various. Endorsements and reviews thanks.

    The free rider 26 abs mass pack the only. Bag on them are removable abs system so put the pack and. You’ve got your storage for you shovel probe open up into there it is the same. System same kind of step just attach red. Strip. Kind of top. There it is and then you’ve also got man. To carry sack just to keep this safe when you’re using the backpack of the conventional backpack pack itself is. Around sooner half kilos. Spock spock another benefit the free rider pack comes with its own detachable spine guard that you can use on its own. Without that same system. So essentially you get in a 75-pound spying yard that you can use on its own.

    Okay so we’ve got the cross rider 20 backpacks here from otter box and it’s. Kind of your daily ski touring bag it’s. Really lightweight only weighs around 860 grams so that’s a real plus. Side to this backpack you wouldn’t want to take if you’re going to further afield though and it’s got some great features you’ve also got your whistles it’s got a nice comfort on the back. There nice strong straps and a waistband. Here with extra pouches and you can. Access it from both the rear and from the top it’s got a hydration system in. There and you’ve got obviously there’s. Some lovelies finger tight everything’s kind of hidden away in this bag so this is for your ski strap so you don’t actually have to have the straps hanging around the whole time you can just pop them back in this little pocket and i think that’s really cool because you know it’s always like a little bit too many straps on backpacks nowadays i think so i like what they’ve done there you’ve obviously got for your safety equipment there’s kind of like all the correct things for your probe and your axe and things like that so great little backpack got all the. Features you might need and yeah perfect. For those day to us so this is the otter box craft rider 20 liter and that’s. Available from ellis brigham and retails at about 100 pounds.

    Mr. simmons and I’m here at the order box free-rider 22 women in this is. A pack for the hard chargers out there. People who are seeing really hard may be doing some jumps and just a couple features and make this packing and as you can see there’s piping on reinforced. Steering systems when you can a for him it you can carry it crossways which will notice in all the order box packs is that the safety pocket always has the red zipper tabs so you open that up and. That signifies in an issue where you need to get your shovel or your probes you can get to it really quickly another interesting feature about the free-rider 22 is a removable sign. Protection system you see right here you. Open the straps outlet you can pull a. Foldable spine protection pad out of the. Pack as you can see it’ll fit right to your back conform to what you’re doing you can also use the straps here and just wear it by itself either just looking for a little bit of extra spine attack down here as you’ll see if you take it out it lets you know danger no.

    Hi I’m pat from avalanche safety solutions and this is the order box free. Router 26 liter at lodge airbag pack. Okay so let’s take a look at the front of the pack we have straps here and in this. Compartment here are the top straps that are used for attaching your skis or. Snowboards in either a diagonal or cross. Ski or vertical carry for the snowboards. The front compartment of the pack it’s. Quite small but good for storing your keys or whatnot in there’s some. Extra straps in here for the protection. Spine protection system if you want to stand alone we’ll talk about that a minute and then there’s the helmet strap. Which goes on the outside of carrier helmet if you’re doing a boot packer hiking uphill you want a cool head. Inside the main compartment a bit more. Storage space in there and we also have. Fleece-lined goggle pouch and kind of. Near this goggle pouch is actually removable you can just slide it out of the pack take the entire piece right out. Or clip it back in take it with you. This is the safety compartment of the. Bag sleeves here for probe and shovel. Handle and then the shovel slides in there and behind that we have our. Modular airbag safety system that. Installs right there on this particular. Bag the free ride pack it also has this. Spine protector in there so this as well. Can be removed if you wanted to just take it for a day we just need to unclip it from the back and with the straps. That come with the bag you can wear it under your clothing without the pack and. Just have that extra spine protection. Okay we’ve got the pack on their’s some really neat features in this cat could make it super comfortable and handy for phreatic so don’t forget about the spine protection that’s back there a little bit of peace of mind when you’re free riding it’s got this really nice wide. Hips trap buckle that you can secure and. That’s really good because it can kind of keep the pack touch to your hips so. It’s not bouncing up and down if you’re hit pillow lines or other cliffs that kind of thing and of course the leg loop that goes along with that it’s as well. Going to need feature here with this the way the strapping system for the shoulders is developed contingent in it. Comes from the two points here and again. It’s an effort to reduce the pack bouncing around on your back when you’re riding and it feels really secure and snug on there on the back when those are smoked in and then again you got a little pocket here on the hip for little items so that is the order box free. Rider 26 liter at lunch your backpack. You.
