Osprey Packs Switch 26 Pack - 1500-1700cu in
WOW! Amazing Pack.

Of all the items I've purchased this year, this is my favorite. This pack has so many features that I can't believe any other packs don't have them. First off, the helmet pocket on top is sick. No more clipping your helmet onto your pack, and having it dangle around hitting stuff, and getting caught on things. Inside the stretchable helmet pocket is a goggle pocket, so your goggles are safe inside your helmet. It's hydration compatible which is awesome. The pockets on the hip belt are so handy, from anything from a camera, to small snack, to your cell phone. You can carry your skis either diagonally or A-Frame style..... however you prefer. The main compartment is split into two (a wet side and dry side). You can keep your shovel in one side, and not worry about your other things (cloths, blanket, etc) getting wet. It's AWESOME. Whether you rock day trips in the BC, or just around the resort, This is a great pack. GET ONE!
