Black Diamond Anarchist Avalung Winter Pack - 1953-2563 cu in

Item #BLD0473 | 15 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Anarchist avalung 1 for all

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #265 - Winter Packs February 3, 2009

This pack has been out for about three years now and remains my favorite BD Avalung pack. It has enough space to fit gear for multiple day backcountry missions but cinches down tight when only a day lunch and extra layers are needed. The best part about this pack is that no matter what load you are carrying it always fits snug to your back unlike other packs that fit awkwardly when maxed out. Also it has a side zip that allows you to find things further down in the pack without having to search by feel. To top it off it has the Avalung just in case. So if I could choose one backpack to cover all of my needs while in the Backcountry this is definitely it.
