Great Patrol Pack

There are reviews about the Pulse, shovel and probe so I'll comment on the pack. I use the Pro 35 as my ski patrol pack. It is quite large and could even be used for an overnight tour. There is a pocket for the avy gear, which is large enough to fit a large shovel blade and a pro style probe (300+). Fleece lined goggle pocket, small pocket on top which holds a helmet sling and straps w fastex buckles to secure a rope or crampons to the top of the pack. The main compartment is huge and can be accessed by a top zip or through the back panel. The back panel has a couple of low profile pockets on it, one is for a first aid kit, the other for small things. Can carry skis A-frame or vertical, snowboard, Ice tool loops. Killer patrol pack. Only thing is the shoulder straps are spaced out at the top so it may not fit a smaller shouldered person very well. This pack will be used for the R.A.S (removable airbag system) line next year.
