I shot this video to help folks see the Osprey Switch 26 functionality. I highly recommend this product and feel it should be on anyone's short list when choosing a pack for Alpine Touring. It has great functionality which you'll see in this spot. Enjoy and I hope this helps you in your search for a great pack. Good luck!
