Got the Job Done !

No expert on backpacks, but bought the BD 42 l for a 6 day Haute Route trip last April because my TNF 55 l was too big. This no-nonse pack got the job done - plenty of room for this type of trip! No extra straps to get in the way. Carried skis well, especially up the ladders at Pas de Chèvre and Bertol Hut. Skied well too, comfortable on your back. While location of shovel compartment may create a bit of a bulge, the placement is key for accessing shovel and probe quickly in a real emergency! I would recommend this pack.
