best BD bag

I bought this in the fall to replace my old covert pack with avalung. The top load design is far better for gear capacity and simplicity, and the back zip panel is the best thing since sliced bread. The seperate front section for probe and shovel does a great job of organizing, and has enough room to throw my skins between laps (and keep whatever is in the main compartment dry). The zippers have been updated, so you no longer zip around the avalung mouthpiece, which was a huge PITA. Overall, an excellent multiday/long tour pack
