I wear a 9 climbing shoe in evolv so I ordered the 9. Shoes are comfortable, durable, light weight, and look great. Good for an approach shoe or basic climbing when wandering off trail

Wanted to like it...

Black Diamond Covert Avalung Winter Pack - 1343-1953cu in

Black Diamond Covert Avalung Winter Pack - 1343-1953cu in

Rating for this product: 3 February 29, 2012

Liked everything about the pack until I tried to fit my avalanche safety gear into it. This is a BD bag but my BD Deploy 3 shovel and BCA Probe wouldn't fit into the pocket specifically designed to hold avy gear. I even tried taking the handle out of the shovel and still couldn't get the pocket to zip shut. I definitely wanted an Avalung on my pack since the backcountry has been so sketchy this year, but this bag is going back.

Should have bought this one the first time

Osprey Packs Kode 30 Backpack - 1600-2000cu in

Osprey Packs Kode 30 Backpack - 1600-2000cu in

Rating for this product: 5 February 29, 2012

My search for the perfect ski backpack has finally come to an end. After going through an Osprey Kode 22 (not big enough), BD Bandit Avalung (definitely not big enough), and a BD Covert Avalung (couldn't even fit a deploy 3 shovel) I settled on the Kode 30. I am 5'9" 180lbs and the M fits great. Has room for all my avy gear and extra layers. Back zipper access is great, helmet carry is handy when skinning, and insulated hydration sleeve keeps my drink from freezing. Aframe carry is plenty large enough for my fat skis (122 underfoot). Make it easy on yourself and buy this bag!

Not quite what I was looking for

Osprey Packs Crampon Pocket - 83cu in

Osprey Packs Crampon Pocket - 83cu in

Rating for this product: 3 February 29, 2012

Pack seems very durable and is quite large (~15"x9"x4"). Would comfortably fit any size crampon I am sure. However there is no daisy chain on it... I own two two Osprey packs but can't use this on my Kode 30 for ski mountaineering because the attachment system is not compatible. Bottome line - Pack probably works great, but it is being returned.

I'm 5'9" 180lbs and the Medium fits like a glove. Long jacket and pow skirt prevent snow from getting in. Gore Tex keeps me bone dry. Jacket is great for layering, light weight, and well constructed. Patagonia didn't disappoint with this one.

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2012

Paired these with a new pair of Lange Super Blasters. First pair of really thin socks. Have definitely helped during the break in period. Keep my feet warm and allow me to feel the boot. Won't be going back to a padded sock.

Great Boot, Walking mode a plus!

Lange Super Blaster Ski Boot - Men's

Lange Super Blaster Ski Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2012

Changed from a Head boot to this one, but even with a wide foot the boot is comfortable. Got a custom foot bed and haven't had to modify the shell. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and was fitted for a 25.5 boot. 120 flex gives me incredible control on my new Moment PB&J's. Walking mode is nice for Apres Ski and walking to the car. Highly recommended.

Rating for this product: 4 January 30, 2012

Have skied 10 days on these so far. Excellent hold, release when needed. Only complaint is the plastic heal piece which gets scoured when using a pole to release the binding. I am trying to figure out a way to protect the binding, but otherwise I am very satisfied.

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2012

Great Pack! Use it for days on the resort while ducking under ropes. Enough to carry the bare essentials (Avy poles, shovel, couple extra layers, and snacks). Minimalist option, great construction, hardly notice it's there.
