Dawn Patrol 25
Going to use this for full time ski patrol for 23-24' season. The pack I've been using is a 35+ liter pack and too bulky. I have used this pack for some Alpine hiking a few times and I love it. It fits nice and snug and feels well balanced. I especially like the locations of the zippered stash pockets. It will easily carry self lift evacuation gear, medical equipment and shovel/ probe which is separated from main compartment. Plus it doesn't have a bunch of straps sticking out all over the place. The waist buckle is easy to connect and won't break if accidentally stepped on. Another great product from BD!

Great pack!
Sits will on your back for both tour and ski. The bottom slots for A-frame carry were just about capped out with my skis (tail 130 mm) but sit snuggly on my back. Has plenty of room for half days and spring days where your jacket spends most of the time in the pack, but can’t hold much extra. Would highly recommend to add to your quiver if you’re looking for a smaller pack!

Perfect for splitboarders
What I loved from that pack is that you can actually clip the skis from your splitboard (not touring skis, but the skis from your snowboard!) on the side. I've tried many touring bags and the space on the side are always too narrow for large skis from a splitboard. I did a touring trip in Japan for 10 days and it was just perfect! The only inconvenient aspect of the back is that the sides are made from a very very thin material which makes it not durable in harsh condition. One side of the bag had a big cut because of a ski and I had to return it.

Perfect ski touring pack
This pack has everything you need for a day out on snow. Several convenient pockets to keep what you need handy and lightweight. Really love the opening from the back of the pack to keep everything organized and accessible

Great Touring Pack
This pack stores everything you need for a full day in the backcountry. I recently completed an avalanche rescue course with this pack and felt exceptionally prepared with the accessibility of rescue tools in the zippered pouch. The waist strap works excellent - I was dubious of the latch mechanism being the metal slide-through rather than a big chunky click buckle - but after hauling through some "dense foliage" as my buddy put it, I realized the durability of the metal would last a lifetime and gives me confidence in having the pack secure to my body for years to come. Love the helmet holder and goggle pocket for transitions. I keep some glove liners in the goggle pouch for descents as well!

Great little pack
I bought this pack for Ski Patrol work. It's the perfect size- large enough for extra lenses, layers, gloves, avalanche tools, camelback, and all my medical supplies. The hip belt releases easily with gloves on allowing me to quickly lap my bag for the lift ride. It sits comfortably on your back, and the front entry allows for easy access when you need to get something quickly.

Love almost everything about the bag
The bag fits my needs well - size, accessibility to gear, features, product quality, etc. The one thing I dislike the waist belt clip - how it buckles/unbuckles as well as the difficulty to tighten it…but it’s a small price to pay for the other nice features.
