I bought this pack for hut trips and day touring when I get to the hut. It works fantastically for both. It carrys enough stuff to spend 3-4 nights at a hut (I am a minimalist) but packs down and carrys well for day touring. I love the way it fits close to my back when skiing! I also love having places to fit my shovel, probe and crampons. I am a medium sized woman and the small fits great.
