Excellent pack

After becoming frustrated with the Marmot Eiger 35 (durability and size issues), I decided to upgrade to the Lowe Alpine Mountain Attack 45+10. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed a difference of quality between this and other packs used: the fabric is relatively thick with durability and the construction is very solid. I use this pack for day backcountry skiing trips as well as non-hiking/non-skiing trips up to two weeks. Some features I like are the compression straps which are excellent for carrying your skis in an A-frame, the zippers are waterproofed, and the shoulder suspension straps which help keep the pack hanging high on your back versus being slouched down below your waist like other packs I've used. For ski trips, this pack can hold a pair of crampons, ice axe, shovel, 3 1-liter bottles of water, extra jacket, extra set of gloves, extra hat, extra set of goggles, and more. I've yet to use it for multi-day trips, but don't foresee any difficulty in using this pack for such adventures.
