Gear Review
Excellent versatile pack

I use this for ski mountaineering, backpacking, and even as a day pack (when I'm packing lots of layers). I've carried ski boots and other gear in the pack for long dry approaches and it was much more stable and enjoyable than hanging the boots off the bindings. The pulls on the pack are great, very easy to manipulate. Seems very well designed and rugged.
