About as good as it gets

Ranked #298 - Winter Packs

Great pack. Lots of storage compartments and the water pouch is GREAT. Plus the tube comes up and through the strap, so there's nothing flailing all around while you're on the slopes. My biggest complaint is that the main pouch is a bit smaller than I had hoped, but it's a 26, and perfect for a big ski resort or a day of backcountry skiing where you just want to carry a couple more layers, some snacks, and a first aid kit.
