- Is the Crown3 60 good for thru-hiking?
- Yes. Its low weight and removable lid and framesheet make it a common choice for thru-hikers who keep base weight down. It carries best with loads around 30 pounds or less.
- How does it compare with the Osprey Exos?
- The Crown3 is lighter and more adaptable thanks to its removable lid and framesheet. The Exos has a more ventilated back panel and more pockets, so it suits people who prioritize airflow and organization.
- Can I remove the lid and framesheet?
- Yes. The lid comes off and can be used as a small daypack, and the framesheet is removable for frameless use. Frameless mode is only sensible with very light loads.
- What load can it carry comfortably?
- Most owners are happy up to about 30 to 35 pounds. Beyond that the thin hipbelt and minimal frame give less support than a heavier pack.
- Is 60 liters enough for a week-long trip?
- For most backpackers, yes, especially with compact gear. The roll-top closure lets you compress the pack when you carry less.
- What is included with the pack?
- You get the pack with its removable lid and framesheet. Hipbelt pockets are part of the belt, and the lid converts to a daypack.
