Black Diamond Bandit AvaLung Package
Good Things Come In Small Packages

Bought this for my kid before we left for a trip to Europe. We planned on doing lots of guided side country stuff, no real extended tours. The Bandit pack and Avalung was the perfect thing for just such a task. Held a snack, goggles, an extra layer, sunscreen, avy tools and a small Camelbak. Thank God we never needed the Avalung feature. But like any old Boy Scout will tell you; be prepared. Cheers.
