Excellent Pack that fits more than it looks
By: Pardner

Niiiice pack. You really appreciate the pack's shape when you are a moving hard and fast -- your arm-swing is not hindered and the balance and center of gravity from the shape (and your smart packing of course) complements forward (especially downhill) momentum. The pack's well engineered shoulder harness and overall light weight means you forget it's behind you. Materials as all Arcteryx are top-notch so no durability concerns. All in all a great pack.
I imagine the HDPE frame sheet is removable; can anyone confirm
I imagine the HDPE frame sheet is removable; can anyone confirm this? I'm am looking to use the Silo as a summit pack, and will need to be able to fit this pack easily into my larger approach pack, so I would appreciate input on any other bulky features (such as foam built into the back panel).
Also, any word on how well it carries an ice axe?
Thanks for the help!

You can pull the framsheet. One other option to consider would be the Arc'teyrx Cierzo 35 (or 18). The Silo doesn't have a specific axe system (use the loop, and wrap straps), but the Cierzo 35 does. I've used the Cierzo a bunch and it's really light, packable (stuffs into it's lid) and stripable.

Great Pack

I use this pack for my one-day winter snow shoe outings. It holds all I need and has more space than you would think. I am an idiot and found the extra zipper on the inside about a week after I bougth it. I loved it even more. If your are looking for a summer day pack, go with the Osprey Talon 11 or 22. For winter this is your pack, it holds a shovel and probe stick great and like all Arcteryx stuff it is bomb proof.
Can it fit any shovel inside or out for that matter?

A telescoping one will probably fit inside, otherwise you can strap it on the back.

Not that I don't love this pack, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that it is NOT made in Canada.
Pretty sweet

Got this with some Christmas money and I have been super pleased with it. Even though it doesn't have a "belt," it does have does have a waist strap. If you cinch it down it stabilizes enough, at least for me. The pockets are well thought out and the straps and back panel are incredibly comfortable. I forget I'm wearing it when descending
will this pack fit a helmet on the inside?? thanks.

I Dig It

Love this pack. Use it for college (with laptop and books inside) as well as snowshoeing, climbing and other outdoor stuff. It works perfectly for all of them. You can attach pretty much anything to the outside in a comfortable way. I think some of the other reviewers have gotten too used to overly cushy, padded packs. I love the simplicity of this one better.
this says it's on sale for $79+ and yet it shows a price
this says it's on sale for $79+ and yet it shows a price of $98.00 at checkout. What's up?

I'm not seeing it on sale, only the $98.00 price. However, sometimes they will put one type of an item (maybe color, size, etc...) on sale yet leave the other versions of that same product at a different price. Maybe that's what you were experiencing? yea, what he said...What is "this" your referring to? - mikeIt's usually a discontinued color or abnormal size that is discounted. With limited quantities.

NOt a good ski pack
By: alexandsos

One of the main purposes of a winter pack is carrying skis, even if you are doing a short bootpack, you would move faster if the your pack is comfortable. If you are carrying skis, you need a hipbelt. Arcteryx forgot that even if the pack is 18L small, the skis are still heavy. Bootpacking with skis on a backpack is sooo much more comfoprtable if the pack has a real hipbelt... Without it the straps dig in your shoulders and the whole thing sways from side to side. Not comfortable at all.
will it fit a macbook in the hydration pocket?

Standing end on end it would fit but very tightly. The MacBook is 12.78" wide & the hydration pocket is 14" Hopefully you won't be going very far carrying your laptop in this fashion. I think it might be uncomfortable having your laptop directly against your back.

Great pack, but a bit small

I bought this pack after borrowing a friend's for a day-long backcountry ski tour. The pockets are really well designed and the pack is very comfortable. I love the light green fabric on the inside, which makes it very easy to find things without digging around. I also like that it's not a silo - the zipper runs all the way around so it's easy to find what you need. While the hip belt is pretty basic, it is comfortable and does what it needs to. The shoulder straps are also very comfortable. I frequently wear this when I am telemarking at a resort but want to carry equipment for a quick skin up a nearby mountain. It holds the basics (shovel, probe, skins, water, snacks and a few small things like sunscreen and an extra layer) but that's it. If it's a hot day and you want to store the extra layers you wore, you'll have to strap them to the outside. I find this pack very comfortable to ski with, and I ski expert terrain almost exclusively. I have also used it for longer ski tours and it has likewise served me well. I also found it slightly awkward to strap skis to the outside for boot packing it up a mountain. The skis were a bit unsteady and swayed. Possibly I just haven't found the right system yet. My only complaint is that I wish it was slightly bigger. It's always nice to have the option to cinch down extra, unused space than not to have the option at all. I'm sure i"ll use the pack for day hiking trips in the summer too. (And my MacBook pro fits perfectly inside the shovel pocket, as does a hydration system.) Overall, I'm happy with this pack but not raving about it.
Sick backpack...

This is such a sweeet backpack. It held all my gear, as well as all six of my PBR's......It has plenty of pockets inside and out, for all of my stowables. I highly recommend.
