This a nice pack for winter adventures. So far I have used it snowshoeing and general hiking. The backpanel, shoulder straps and waist belt are comfortable. I am about a 19in torso, and the medium fits me well.

The organization is outstanding. All the avalanche gear fits in the outer pocket perfectly. I love the backpanel access for when I have snowshoes or (future) skis attached. I have played around at home with ski attachment, and both diagonal and a-frame work well.My camelbak fits great. We'll have to see how well it keeps the water from freezing.

I debated getting the Kode 22, but it doesn't have backpanel access and has a lighter weight waistbelt. The Kode 30 has all that and support rods on the sides for larger loads. It also has external access to the goggle pocket (the 22 goggle pocket is inside the dry compartment), and a helmet attachment system.

One more thing, the black is not black, but a greenish grey color. It looks pretty good, though. I figured most people would get the orange.
Highly recommend this pack!

My son is on his third pair of these. They fit great and offer good support for hiking on rough terrain. They are built to last. The soles are very solid and offer great traction.

My son loves these. He rips any terrain with soft snow. They are much more advanced than the average kids ski. I mounted a little forward this year, but next year with the larger boot, they will be on the 'traditional' line and perfect for off piste skiing. I will have trouble keeping up with him then!

I used this was all last season and found it to be good. If you are looking for a good all around wax for general skiing, this is it.

As others have said, these are great straps for multiple uses. I use them to transport skis and keep the tips together while on my backpack. Much better than velcro.

These boots are really nice. My feet sweat alot in goretex boots, but these leather lined boots really vent well (sweaty feet contribute to blisters).
The leather lining conforms to your feet after about 15 miles. They are plenty supportive for rough trail backpacking. Used these in the Canadian Rockies for a week (both hiking and backpacking) and my feet never got tired or sore. I love these boots.

My son loves this jacket so far. Sheds light rain, sleet, snow and is warm, but not clammy (breathes well). He plans to use it for school, hiking, and skiing this year. As the other reviewer said: it runs a little large.

I've tried every sandal available. I love my chacos, but wanted to get something with more coverage for certain times. These are very comfortable, and fit me well. They are much cooler than keens. They are very light on my feet. Time will tell about durability, but I like them so far. The main dislike is they are harder to get on than some others I have tried.

My son (8.5 yrs old) loves this pack. He reports it is very comfortable, and I noticed it looks very stable on his back while he hikes. He loves the hipbelt pockets for carrying his gum and snacks. It also works well with a camelback bladder so he stays hydrated. Should be good for several years due to the adjustable frame size and hipbelt. He has had many comments from other backpackers/hikers about how cool it is.

Very nice helmet. Works great in varying conditions due to excellent venting. Lower profile avoids the bubble-head look of some helmets. Only bad things are minimal padding on inside and a little heavier than my previous helmet: Giro 9.
Overall I love it.

At first glance, seem to be excellent sandal. But while trying them out around the house, they rubbed my feet in several places. I don't think they fit my foot shape very well.
Quality seems great, though.

The pack is well built and works great for hiking and biking. I use it for long day hikes and anytime I go out for a ride. You can hold more than the volume indicates with the external mesh pockets and bungee cord.

I have used Camelbak bladders for years with no problems, so we will see how the Nalgene bladder holds up. I don't like the tube as well; it seems to kink easier. Other than that I expect the pack to last for many years.

Good product. Holds plenty of stuff and water for long day hikes in the desert or peak bagging. Love the external bladder access for refilling.

I bought these for my wife's K2 Burnin Luv skis. She likes the feel of the binding, and says the short mounting zone seems to help give her more flex in the middle of the ski. Highly recommended!

This shirt is great for skiing (that's all I have used it for so far). The fit is nice overall, and it really keeps me dry and warm. Highly recommend it.
