Spyder Silverton Backpack - 2008 BCS

This pack holds just the perfect amount of room for skins/trekkers, extra pair of goggles, water, snack, and extra (small) layer. The straps are adjustable for how far up or down you want the top strap to sit across your chest. This pack is pefect for day outings.

My one problem with this pack is that the back height is little too long for me. I'm 5'3 and I wouldn't mind if it was a little smaller (the straps are also not optimally positioned for a woman's frame). Otherwise, I would love it. The pack's most distinguishing feature is its small volume. The capacity is 671 cu. in., which is very small. A helmet won't fit inside this pack (though I find it's pretty easy to attach it to the handle). If you want something to carry an extra pair of goggles, gloves, skins, and a sandwich, this is your pack. It's small size means there's not much room for stuff to shift around. It's flatness also means it doesn't shift your balance back too far, even if you put bricks in it (though I can't say I tried).
