Osprey Packs Switch 26 Pack - 1500-1700cu in
Excellent 4-season day pack

If you want a pack that's comfortable, compact, top-loading, and can carry virtually all the winter gear you'd need in a day, this is the pack for you. For anyone wondering, this pack will fit a pair of 10x36" snowshoes on the back with relative ease. My only gripe is that there's no water bottle pockets, though I see the reasoning since it's a winter pack. Carabiner those nalgenes in the OR water bottle parka on the outside and you're good to go. I would even argue for this pack's use in the summer. It's versatile enough to get the job done.
