Comments about Osprey Xenon 70 Pack - Women's:

I've been camping and backpacking since childhood and became an avid adventure backpacker in high school. As a woman of slight build (5'5"/115, I bought a Small pack/shoulder harness and an XS hipbelt) with prominent hipbones, I have always had problems with bruising on my hipbones, even on weekend trips with relatively light loads. I finally decided that it was time not to be in pain anymore. I bought a pack that, at nearly 5 and a half pounds, was WAY heavier than anything I would have considered in the past. In short, I LOVE this pack. My back and hip pain vanished when I began using it, in spite of the few pounds of extra weight. The lumbar pack is a great size for day hikes and even wall ascents, with more than enough room for a Clif bar, a water bottle, and a tube of sunblock and I use the removable reservoir sleeve, which conveniently becomes a pack using the sleeping pad straps, for mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, music festivals(!), you name it.

It's more than worth the few extra dollars ad the few extra ounces!

Comments about Osprey Xenon 70 Pack - Women's:

This pack is worth the extra penny (gift certificates/20% off/and dividend helped too). You will thank yourself and then some, especially in the back country. I carried this pack on the JMT last summer (Yosemite Valley to Red's Meadow----10 days) and never had a sore back, ever. I am backpacking the Wonderland Trail(Mt Rainier--93 miles)this summer 2011 and I have complete peace of mind knowing I have this pack. The best feature is in the hydration design. It clips in/out with ease for little day hikes. It also came in handy as we climbed Half Dome. I highly recommend this backpack, especially for the avid back country backpacker.

Comments about Osprey Xenon 70 Pack - Women's:

I originally purchased this pack for an extended trip through Asia. Since then, I've been using it for everything. I LOVE this pack. I'm glad I spent a bit more than originally planned as this pack is going to be my only pack until it's hanging on by a thread.

Comments about Osprey Xenon 70 Pack - Women's:

After 10+ years with a previous pack that was getting more and more uncomfortable every year, I was a little worried to go on a 7-day trip with a new pack without having tested on shorter trips first. I had the hip belt molded, and I wore it around the house some, but that was it.

The first two days my hips were killing me. I also have bony hips (5'8", 125lbs). But on the third day I didn't notice my hips as much, and by the end of the week I wasn't dying to get my pack off at the end of the day - it was very comfortable!

We started with 40lbs, which will never be that much fun to carry. At the end of the week I was probably only down to 35lbs, since I didn't have the food.

Even though there is access to the sleeping bag compartment, I must be old school, I still retrieve my bag from the top. The hydration was great (something else new for me to get used to). I was used to a water bottle in the side pockets, and even though one will fit in the side pocket, it would be hard to get in and out yourself.

The compression straps are a bit interesting. I didn't feel I could compress it as much as I'd like. Only in certain spots, so there were areas that you could not compress.

I like the external pocket in the back (or front, depending how you look at it). I stashed my rain gear there. Plenty of straps, loops, etc for attaching stuff.

Overall a great experience, and I'm looking forward to my next trip with it!
