Ordered it and returned it. They attempted to make a waterproof pack but forgot to but waterproof zippers. I also don’t care much for the back panel. I know this type of back panel is popular and probably really nice but when ski mountaineering I don’t like the weight to be off my back that much. The bag is good for the price though if you don’t plan on getting in any down pours or if you don’t mind the weight a little off your back.
