Awesome pack

Fits everything you need a multi day ski tour. The seperate avi kit pocket is key and hard to find on larger volume packs. Can also use on single day tours.

Perfect for the back country

I was looking for a dedicated pack for back country in the San Juan’s. This pack dies just that. The external pocket fits my probe and shovel with room to spare. The difference in weight is amazing. The reduction in weight doesn’t sacrifice any features.

Versatile!

Bought this pack for multiway backcountry tours this winter with the plan being to get two or three trips in with it. Super stoked to find out how versatile it is - with the roll-down top and side compression straps, it's ALSO a great pack for single day missions! Took it up yesterday for a six-hour trip and it was an absolute pleasure to carry. LIGHTweight and the fit is perfect. I measured at 19" (which is right on the border between Medium and Large) and went with the recommendation to size up. I was nervous that the city would be off, but it's just right.

Overall, very happy with this pack.
