How comfortable is this on a ski lift? And is the insulation really that much better than camelbak?

This pack is very comfortable on the lift. It sits very close to the back and even when full does not expand so far that you feel like you are going to pitch forward on the lift. The compromise is that your ability to carry gear is limited. For inbounds skiing (i.e. with kids where you need to carry extra stuff) and side-country/slack-country ventures, this a great choice.

The insulation is pretty good, keeps water flowing in most temps, up to the retarded -20 degree C days. And it is pretty comfortable on the lift, although most places ask you to take it off and hold it.
