Black Diamond Predator 50 Backpack - 2929-3052cu in
Such a smart pack - Technically oriented

Downsides with this pack: Sizes are quite weird - I'm just 5'7" and the S/M is way too SMALL for me! the M/L fits me perfect (Bad news for people taller than me = Most people). The pack is (understandably) Zero water resistant so as you use a dry-sack liner, the side access (for which the zipper SHOULD have been WP) becomes useless. The upside is basically everything else: It is well designed, lightweight and comfortable (considering it's a technical rather than a backpacker's pack). The ice-axe loops/pockets system is just brilliant. The helmet holder is brilliant. The crampons pouch is brilliant - you know the adjective for this pack...
