From REI:
"Osprey's most popular pack carries heavy loads comfortably with impressive load transfer to hips saving, your back and shoulders. To customize your fit, take your torso and hip measurements following our instructions in the "How to Fit a Backpack" clinic (see link at lower left). Optimizing fit and load transfer is a ReCurve Suspension consisting of Foam-X (polyethylene) framesheet, twin aluminum stays and dual titanium struts. Running down the sidewall, ReCurve titanium struts create a pre-tensioned lift mechanism, actively transferring load and resisting sag. Load-lifter straps act with ReCurve struts and framesheet to draw load snug against your back for increased control and stability. Interchangeable, laminated HypurCell shoulder straps adjust easily to fit a variety of sizes. Complete access to main compartment with top-loading and front zippered access (protected under the compression flaps). Side pockets, one zippered and one mesh, keep essentials handy and secure, plus double as slots for hauling skis in the traditional A-frame style. Hydration-capable lid pocket converts to a fanny pack with hidden hipbelt and features compression straps for lashing on day tripping gear. Standard issue on this pack, the 500-cu.-in. Solo Excessory front pocket can be removed and converted to a daypack with its own harness. StraightJacket compression wings allow you to securely compress the contents of the pack whether full or nearly empty, without sag or load distortion. Wings buckle across the front when full; for smaller loads, connect straps to buckles at the edge of the backpanel, cinching one panel over the other. Externally accessible, extra-large sleeping bag compartment accommodates larger synthetic sleeping bags. Rounding out this full-featured pack is D3 Spacer Mesh on backpanel, promoting airflow and wicking moisture during warm weather and intense activity."

"What a great expedition pack! Although I have not tried comparable packs (except cheap and outdated 80 litre pack I used for nine years), it is hard to imagine that any pack could carry a big load more comfortably. The frame is great and combines excellently with the hipbelt to transfer weight to your hips."

"This is for the Crescent 90 which was discontinued in 2005 for the Crescent 85. The Crescent 90 uses titanium struts and a detachable pocket (doubles as day pack) held on by straps; the Crescent 85 uses heat treated aluminum struts and does away with the detachable pocket pack, in favor of easier main compartment access, construction simplicity, lighter weight, and a new custom fit belt."

"The Crescent 90 has exceeded expectations in all areas. I contemplated which size to get and went with the 90 liter, leaving plenty of room for extra gear when needed. If however, you are traveling light its ability to compress down accommodating any size load is second to none."
