I have had this pack for a few years now great pack for short hikes with a snowboard the virtical and horizontal option is great, however the diagonal ski carry is lacking to say the least, with bigger heavier skis the straps just don't cinch tight enough at all and the skis flop around. Put in a full hydration system and you lose all your interior storage, it was a good pack at first but after a few climbs and tours felt that it needed more. Borrowed my buddies BD covert pack was much happier.
