Black Diamond Bandit AvaLung Package
Small but perfect for day/sidecountry

This is definitely a pretty killer package if you are looking for a good pack with an avalung and a solid shovel and probe that all fit well in the pack. This pack is small but it is perfect for a resort day-pack or a off resort sidecountry pack. I did have trouble with it fitting well to my back at first but as I broke it in it worked better. I wish it had some bungies on the front so you could strap on a jacket because it doesn't fit inside. It does have a nice cross-pack ski carrying system as well. The shovel included is easily deployed as well as the probe. So if you are looking for a great package deal for those long resort days or those close sidecountry missions I would recommend this package.
