Gear Review
It's the little things that count.

Ranked #238 - Winter Packs

Every decent ski pack has fleece lined goggle pockets and insulated sleeves for hydration. What made me fall for the Pro II were all the little details. The storable ski carry, with a cable loop rather than just nylon. The separate pocket for shovel and probe makes for super easy access when trying to go for your avi gear in a hurry. The back panel access and top access to the main pocket is slick. Most of all is the price, buying backcountry I got it 47% off. There is no argument; this is the best pack for the price.
