Xenon 85 vs. Gregory Deva 85
I had a really hard time choosing between the Xenon and the Gregory Deva. Both are great packs with +5000 cu in of storage, which was hard to find in a women's small. I chose the Xenon because it fits a Bear Vault easily and the wide mouth sleeping bag compartment holds my sleeping bag without the wrestling match that came with the Gregory Deva. Also, straps can be added to the removable hydration sleeve so you can carry the bladder without the pack. That's a million dollar feature for day use while in the back country. All packs should have this capability. The Xenon had two minor issues during it's first use. A buckle broke on the sleeping pad strap and the hydration sleeve ripped. Both had little impact my overall enjoyment of our trip. And Osprey will repair under warranty. But it does make me leery of the pack's ruggedness, especially since the problems occurred on a really light weekend trip. This pack has to survive a lot more abuse if it's going to be my trusted load monster.

The best ever pack for women
Osprey has been know for creating great packs, and this Xeon 85 pack is perfect for women. It's loaded with so many features that your amazed how you ever got by without them before. Some of the best features is the custom molding waist belt. All you do is take your pack to your local Osprey retailer and they take your waist belt and bake it in a special oven designed by Osprey and it makes a perfect custom fit to your body/hips. But the comfort fit doesn't stop there, the back panel is designed to provide great support through an Air Mesh designed which helps immensely with keep your back dry and comfortable for mile after mile hikes. The two side pockets on both sides of pack near your waist belt are very convenient for storing cameras, snack packs, water bottles, and anything else you want close at hand. And finally, one of my favorite features is the front stretch pocket that has mesh air vents is perfect for putting anything from guide books/maps to wet clothes or jackets for the rain. Osprey has truly thought of everything you might need for a long week trip with this backpack, and the fit is truly perfect and designed just for women!

Sizing Chart

Back Measurement Step 1 - Pack Sizing

All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).

Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing

To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.

ErgoPull ErgoPull

Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.

Harness Step 3 - Harness

Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).

Men's SM MD Large XLarge
Women's WXS WSM WM WL


Step 4 - Overall Fit

Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.

In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
