Ranked #31 - Winter Packs
January 16, 2008
Integrating the Avalung into packs makes things so much easier and safer. Although the Avalung can't save you from being caught in an avalanche it increases chances of survival once buried, why not have one? I no longer have to take off everything just to shed a layer. Aside form the Avalung, the covert pack is awesome, the outer compartment holds my shovel and probe and keeps them separate from my lunch and other stuff. It holds skis really well for booting and fits snug to my back for shredding and jumping off stuff.
