Awesome Backpack!

By Aws Ranked #263 - Winter Packs March 2, 2011

Pros:
-Compression straps make it really thin.
-The hydration sleeve is nice to have
-aluminum frame makes for a nice fit to your back
-The zipper opens really big so you can easily acces things in the bottom of the bag
-Back pannel zipper is awesome
Cons:
-My roommate has this bag and he says the straps loosen through out the day and have to be retightened
-Hydration pocket is pretty small and doent fit my stoaway 100 liter but its fin, i just hang it in the bag.
-If you have the avalung it doesnt compress down as much

I just got this bag and havent had a chance to use it. However, I have used my roommate's and it fits really nice and doesnt budge while you are skiing. It is a little to thick to have behind you on the lift but that is no big deal since you can keep the waist strap hooked and rotate it around so its on your lap. The bag is very high quality and i plan to use it for a bunch of summer and winter activities, not just skiing. I will amend my review once I have been using the bag for a while.
