Very innovative design. This pack is great for what it is designed for, skiing. This is not a pack for mountaineering. It is best suited for those who just skin up and ski down, and for where there is a significant amount of snow. As someone who climbs and skis, I prefer the tall, narrow profile of the Osprey Exposure 36. The wider profile of the Switch 36 and two factory defects with the stitching prompted me to return the pack. For mixed use and more challenging mountaineering, go with the Exposure.
