Black Diamond Octane Backpack - 1700-1831cu in
June 12, 2010
It doesn't look like this can carry skis, but might the lower side straps loosen enough for it to be possible?

Hestra Heli Glove

I haven't had problems with wetness yet, but I think you need to use waterproofing wax regularly to keep them in good shape. They don't sell the Hestra leather wax on this site, though. Maybe another wax/conditioner would work?

I've read a review (REI.com) mentioning rust problems with some of the nuts. Anyone else had this multiple season and noticed any issues?

Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Ski Brakes
December 8, 2009
Is there a problem with using the wider brakes on narrower skis, other than having them stick out further which might be annoying? I.e., is it worth getting the narrower brakes for 90mm skis if I found a well-priced pair of bindings with the XL Plus brakes?

CAMP USA XLC Nanotech Crampon
October 17, 2009
Wait, are the names of the pictures wrong? I thought "automatic" usually referred to step-in (i.e., with toe bail wire). The specs have it the way I would expect.

Or take a big trash bag to put your backpack in. Contractor bags are big and burly, but a thinner one would probably work too.

How's the comfort with a pack? I was planning on getting just the avalung to wear with any pack, but also considering an integrated one.

Black Diamond Outlaw Avalung Pack - 1831-1939cu in
November 28, 2008
The tech specs says no ice axe loop, but the picture does have a loop. Is there any reason this couldn't be used for an ice axe? Would this be a reason to go with the covert if you think you may ever want to take the pack climbing?
