To compare the Arc'teryx Miura 50 and Silo 40. These two packs are designed for different purposes, but both work across a wide variety of uses. The Miura is built to carry a heavier load, with a slightly more padded hipbelt, and foam-lined bottom, and sides (to help protect the fabric and the gear inside)I like the Miura's loading options (top or panel). The Silo is lighter and carries skis and snowboards better because of the wrap system. The Silo is also a bit more streamlined in shape and has more organization options. If you're using it more as a climbing pack- Miura, for winter sports- Silo. Both are pretty sweet, though, and can be used year-round.
