We show that the relativistic wind in the Crab pulsar, which is commonly thought to be invisible in the region upstream of the termination shock at R < 0.1 pc, in fact could be directly observed through its inverse Compton gamm-ray emission. The search for such specific component of radiation in the gamma-ray spectrum of the Crab can provide unique information about the unshocked pulsar wind that is not accessible at other wavelengths.
