When I first put a pair of the Agent 110s on I felt like they were made for my foot. The 26.5 (full size down from my running shoe size) was the perfect shell length for my foot to provide a performance fit, but after 10 days the liners have packed out significantly and I am now in the process of trying to find the right sized Intuition liner to replace the stock liners. I love the flex for all types of skiing, but they really shine in the pow and bumps. I just wish all boot manufacturers could figure it out and start selling their higher end boots with true custom moldable liners like Scarpa, Garmont, Dalbello and some others have been doing for years.

I was looking for a lift-service/sidecountry pack to carry my DSLR and some light gear. While the diagonal carry was pretty slick, I hated all the extra length of the straps when the bag was compressed, something that could easily get caught in a chair, even when buttoned down with the integrated elastic bands. The fit was floppy and generic, the waist belt was too long and the excess strap that was folded up in the elastic stow bands on the waist was annoying, and it would frequently fall out and become a snag hazard. The material this pack is made out of feels like cheap nylon. I have an old DaKine Heli Pro II from 2003 thats made of a much stronger fabric, so I know they are capable of better. I returned it to BC.com and ended up with the Black Diamond Covert 22. No back panel access but a much better made, better fitting, and well designed back for what I needed.

This pack is very well made, with a fantastic snug and streamlined fit to your torso. I really the simple, functional design. The back-panel access is a great design that works very well. I wanted badly to keep this bag, but the a-frame only ski carry system falls significantly short compared to other options out there. If you look at the profile shot of this bag, you are limited to skis no wider than those black straps on the side which are stitched down and fixed in length. If you drive fat planks, then your SOL. I sent this bag back to BC.com and got the BD Covert 22, which doesn't have as good a fit as the ortovox, nor the back panel access, but the highly functional ski carry of that pack took precedence for me.
