Black Diamond Anarchist with Avalung Winter Pack - 1953-2563 cu in

Item #BLD0473 | 13 in Stock
4 Star Rating

I Like It.

By Ranked #212 - Winter Packs March 27, 2008

Sturdy, well-designed pack. It fits me well and doesn't interfere with my helmet as others have noted. I've found it comfortable to wear and large enough for day trips in the backcountry, it wouldn't be big enough for me to carry all that I'd like for a overnight trip. The external, easily accessed compartment for shovel and probe is a nice feature. I like having the avalung available without the hassle of an extra piece of equipment. I have the solo avalung too but I hardly ever wore it, too much gear to get tangled up for my tastes, this all in one approach works much better for me.
