DAKINE Pro II 26L Backpack - 1600cu in
Great pack, little small

I think this is a great backcountry back, the origination is very well thought out and super useful. This being said i ended up returning it anyway and going with the blade. It just didn't have enough space to fit everything, (shovel, probe, puffy, crampons, ice axe, food, water, skins, etc) for a full day. And when it was full the straps for the vertical snowboard carry couldn't make it all the way around the board. If your main use for this pack is slackcountry, buy it. If you need something that can handle the big days as well as the not so big, then something like the blade is definitely the way to go.
