Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack - 1343-1953cu in

Whether you're out enjoying yo-yo out-of-bounds laps at the ski resort or pre-work dawn patrols, there's a Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack for you. The Covert pack is available in a 22L size for times when all you need is your avie gear, and there's a 32L size for half-day backcountry tours. This versatile pack carries skis or a snowboard, and its dedicated avalanche-gear pocket provides fast access to your shovel and probe when the clock is ticking. Black Diamond gave the Covert Pack a Y-suspension frame that moves with your body so you can tear up the backcountry no matter what kind of sled you're riding.

Bottom Line: Grab the Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack, and escape the clutches of chairlifts.

Glad I purchased It

I just got started backcountry skiing this spring, and with the sierra snowpack its an awesome time to get out there. I purchased this pack and have skied one day resort with it, and two days backcountry so far. It is awesome!! Like one other review said, it definitely seems large at first ( Im 6'1" and got the lrg 32L pack) But once its on your back it doesn't hold you back at all. I have not yet tried the diagonal carry, but seeing how well the horizontal carry worked i would imagine it works just as well. The 32L is perfect for backcountry use and can hold perfectly all your avy gear, first aid, food, and extra layers. If you are just looking for a inbounds use pack, I would go with the 22L. All in all this is the most comfortable and useful pack I've used. (And if you don't want to be cheap like me, go with the AVALUNG built into it, Which makes for an even higher tech great pack)

how do you put skis on this pack?

It's a fairly standard ski setup. The skis cross one another, using the loops on the bottom along with the sinch-strap buckles near the top of the pack.

Great pack for backcountry ski touring

By: Blade
December 9, 2007

I love sking in the backcountry where I am on the ski patrol. This area is very avalanche prone and all patrollers carry tranceivers, probes and shovels at all times. This pack makes getting to the avi gear super simple and fast. I also like the full zip insulated pack strap for routing the hydration tube, but wish that the end was a bit larger to hold higher end hydration mouthpieces. This pack is my patrol pack containing my aid supplies, water, avi gear, food and seat harness/carabiner gear for extraction work. It will just carry all that stuff with careful packing, but I did not want a larger pack, this is big enough. The interior storage for avi gear keeps the shovel and probe from snagging on tree branches when in tight situations. All-in-all, this is a great back for working or recreational backcountry day trips.

Great touring pack

By: wmk
November 27, 2006

I have been very impressed with this pack so far. At first it seemed a little large (visually), though after touring with it for the first 3 weeks this season, I have really started to appreciate it. The pack has a well designed outside zippered pocket that fits probe, shovel and probe, and the main compartment has enough room for belay jacket, 48 oz. water bottle, emergency supplies, extra layers etc., without having too much extra space. It rides very well while skiing, and carries skis well (have only tried diagonal carrying method, though assume A-frame works just as well). This is a great pack for those who already own Avalungs, though I might even purchase this pack with the lung for ease of use (no more adjusting the lung over/under layers when skinning/skiing transition). Great pack!
