I will post again after more use, but it seems great. Size up if you cant decide. I am 5'9 155lbs and i needed a medium. if you can't find the pictured loop for diagonal carry, it is hidden in a sleeve on the bottom of the pack, and you also have to move the strap for the top of the skis. that took me a while to figure out. the hip pockets are sizable, bigger than my friends heli pro dlx. it seems like there is an excessive amount of loose straps hanging around once everythings tightened up, but it's not been a problem. also, the top pocket won't accommodate large helmets. main pocket has room for avy gear, snacks, and an extra layer, plus your hydration bladder, maybe a smidgen more if youre a good packer. overall I am very happy with it
