Looking to buy a new pack but I don't know whitch to choose: The Arc'teryx Arrakis 50 or the Osprey Variant 52. I'm planning to break it in on an 8 day long crosscountry skitrip in Norway (sleeping in snowshelters and mooving all my stuff on my back.) Not planning to pack heavy it's definitley this size I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Den har også "pivot-belt" som er veldig behagelig å ha på. Men jeg ville heller kjøpt den f. eks på http://www.hermitshut.com/arcteryx-arrakis-50.html fordi der er den billigere.

Anders, the Arrakis 50 is a great backpack for Norwegian climate. Den er suveren pga. at den fungerer nesten som en stor "drybag" og holder alt inni den tørr (men dette gjelder kun regn, snø osv, ikke hvis sekken holdes under vann f. eks i en elv. Dette er grunnet glidelåsene på sidene, og hullet til drikkeslangen).

The Arrakis is essentially waterproof, so that seems like a huge advantage for a trip like this where you will be constantly exposed to moisture and drying won't be easy. The other difference is the fabric on the Arc'teryx Arrakis is really durable due to the lamination treatment on both faces of the fabric. I also like the pivot hipbelt for skiing as it keeps the pack from swaying.
