Osprey Crescent 110
I saw this on the Reddit UL forum. Figured it was worth a few comments/laughs. This thing doubles as a shelter!

Unfortunately, Osprey was forced to stop manufacturing this amazing piece of gear when it became apparent that doing so was causing a national shortage of Cordura.

Look at that contour curve in the back panel! Comfy!!!
I am pretty sure Tipi has one...
You could carry a medium sized dog in the top lid...
I could fit my entire pack inside the sleeping bag compartment...
It is amazing that they got a 110 liter pack that weighs only 8 pounds.
Now that NEEDS the controversial pack wheel!

Looks like something I would carry......
Hopefully he marketing guy got fired after that ad. They needed a 6'6" 250# male in the ad, not a small, thin frame female. Of course, maybe they wanted it to look huge!Too funny.
That actually looks looks like a packs the group of lil Asian guys were carrying up Whitney from the portal....from behind all you could see was a pack with lil legs!!! Good laughs

I used to carry the 85 L version in the annual FYAO (Freeze Your Ass Off) in the Adirondacks and in Winter generally. They were tough packs but (definitely) not for thru-hiking unless your trail name was Refrigerator.
I'm a recovering heavy hauler. I'm working on lightening my gear, but until I settle on sleeping bag and tent/hammock solution, I'm sticking with the pack I currently have: a CFP-90. It's the Army's cold weather pack from the early 2000's. Internal frame, 90L main compartment with a detachable daypack that is in the 13L neighborhood. When I took my daughters on an AT overnight last fall, it came in right at 60lbs. I've had it as heavy as 80.Originally Posted by TimOnWhiteBlaze

They say the first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem......

Back in the day...

Not everyone is an ultra-light hiker on the AT.
My first pack was the Marine Corps ILBE which was probably about that size and a little heavier! You guys should have seen it loaded for my first attempt at an overnight hike! With the 2 gallons of water I was carrying, the stainless percolator, the steel campfire folding pot holder, 3 person dome tent, etc, I bet it was 70 lbs! Lots of unnecessary weight I quickly learned and lightened... but people like Tipi (and there are plenty of them, just not regular posters here on an AT forum) require large packs that carry lots of equipment for extended stays out in the bush. Different strokes, hyoh, etc.
I was seriously considering that pack when I found a new, unopened CFP-90 last fall. Great packs.
