Osprey Zenith 75 Backpack

The Xenith 75 is an absolute beast when it comes to the sheer amount of gear that this pack can carry. I know that the ultralighters in the community would cringe at the weight on this pack but if you are used to carrying big loads then this pack will help you do exactly that.has four points of access to the main compartment which is great for grabbing items from the pack without removing the top lid and having to go in through the top access point. The hip belt has two zippered pockets with over size toggles which can be used easily while walking along. The pockets are large enough for snacks/phone/small camera or sun cream.The pack has a removable lid which can be turned into a lumbar pack, great for taking your food and beverages down to the fireside so you don’t have lots of toing and froing from tent to fire and missing out on valuable time with your camp mates. The bottom compartment is great for storing your sleep system. The zips are easy to operate, even when the pack is stuffed and there is a baffle around the zip.There are two mesh pockets one on each side of the pack and a stretchy mesh pocket on the front of the pack these are great for storing wet gear and extra water bottles. The hydration sleeve is separated from the main compartment so the bladder can removed and refilled without opening the main compartment, a nice touch in my opinion. The hip belt of the Xenith is remarkably comfortable and really hugs the hips, helping to transfer the load off the shoulders. During a full days hiking I experienced no rubbing or cutting in and I had the pack fully loaded.
