DAKINE Pro 2 Backpack - 1600cu in
Gotta' love this pack

What can I say? What's not to love about it? Two winters ago I was using my Dakine Heli Pro, which is still a great pack, but in my opinion this pack is better. My favorite feature the large restraining system on the outside of the pack. What I am referring to is the black area on the visible back of the pack. With some packs, all of your equipment slides to the bottom. With this restraining system, however, you can tighten the straps so that your equipment stays evenly distributed throughout the entire pack. The cross carry system is great, as can always be expected from Dakine. The only drawback of this pack is the sometimes dysfunctional back pocket, but that really isn't that big of a deal.
