I'm trying to decide between this and the Deuter Pro 30. Anyone have this pack and want to say anything about it? I've gathered all the gear for some backcountry action and need a good pack for it. I currently have a small ~750 cu in Dakine pack that is just too small for my use. I am worried about going too big. Is this possible?

most larger daypacks aroudn 30L are prefect for day outings. If you have room to spare in the pack, just tighten the compression straps. Its tough to add space to a pack - but easy to take it away. Stick around 30L and you'll have plenty of room for your avy gear and some essentials for a day trip. Depending on how minimalist you are, even a 30L pack work on short overnighters if you plan proerply.

I have an older version of the Freerider 26. It's a good pack, but I'm looking for something bigger right now. It depends on what kind of BC skiing you're planning. When I have mine stuffed with avy gear and extra gloves, my shell, puffy jacket, water bottle, etc it runs out of room quickly. Crampons then need to be strapped outside, which can be awkward. Helmet also needs to go outside. If you're doing day trips without much chance of getting stuck in the cold, it's great. It's also fantastic for spring skiing in warmer temps. It cinches well and I hardly notice it on the way down, even with all that stuff in it.
