Product Reviews and Questions
Awesome light weight pack
Used this to hike Section H of the PCT this summer. The bugs were horrible but the pack was a dream. Super light weight and carried everything I could ask for and more.
Perfect for Splitboarding
It's been great for both day touring and overnight snowcamping missions. Plenty of space and straps for all the gear. Love this pack.
Better than expected
I used the headwall this season for some overnight trips to the Cascades and day trips in Colorado. Super impressed! I've found a pack to last many years.
What I like: It's simple, and comfortable! I can fit days worth of winter gear for objectives requiring glacier travel and steep snow climbing, including carrying skis/board/boots on the pack. I was around 60+ lbs for the approach on multiple days and never had shoulder or hip pain. The pack compacts really well for day/peak tours and fits tight to the back for good maneuverability on the ski out. I have had 11 days with this pack in all weather conditions and it had held up really well, and I really don't take it easy on my gear.
What I don't like: Access to the internal compartment takes a tad longer, especially when loaded. One solution is to plan your layers wisely and carry a small water bottle on the exterior. Definitely not a deal breaker, especially when considering how weather resistant the packs are.
The Fit: I am a large and have a 20+ ish torso. When it arrived, it seemed just a touch big, but when loaded its just right. Remember that these packs are meant to be overloaded relative to their size, so a 55 will carry more than you think. Trust the chart, give HMG a call if you have questions.
100% would recommend to friends, family, and any mountain enthusiast.
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.
The finest backcountry ski pack I've ever own , and I've had quite a few stretching clear back to 1970 .
