Osprey Packs Switch 25+5 - 1500cu in
Everything you need, nothing you don't

I've had this pack a couple seasons now and I love it. It takes a little getting used to, dealing with the removable hydration pack can be tricky and the zipper access to the main compartment can be awkward, but after a couple tours you figure it out. It's just the right size for day trips and everything has its place: skins, shovels, probe, food, sunscreen, keys. When you have to boot pack, it carries skis exceptionally well. It's very comfortable and durable, mine still looks new. My only complaint is that it smells weird, kind of a new car/chemically/skunky smell that I thought would have faded away by now, but it hasn't.
