Perfect fit, well balanced
Awesome. This is perfect. The only thing that could make this better would be to make it an airbag system. Love it though. No complaints per usual.

Spacious daypack with lots of storage options
Plenty of space, well designed for lots of gear. High quality build materials. Access to main compartment from the top is kind of small (accessed through zipper in top pocket), this hasn't been an issue because the bottom of the pack fully opens for access. Lots of useful pockets, tie downs, and loops.

Great pack but flawed avalanche pocket/reservoir hangar design
Mostly a great pack except for the flawed placement of the hangar for the hydration reservoir. Because of the hangar's location right below the zipper for the avalanche tools pocket, a reservoir's weight causes a kink in the zipper and makes the pocket difficult and slow to open. The avalanche tools pocket should have a bulletproof and user friendly design for easy access in an emergency - it's whole reason for being - and this one doesn't, which is disappointing.

Love the bag.
Great bag. Sturdy construction on the back. It sits higher which is good for weight. I really enjoy the soft stash pocket so all my eyewear doesn’t get scratched. Feels like it has more storage than 32, but that’s probably because everything is organized well.

Top Notch
This pack is amazing. It's sleek and comfortable. The side zippered water bottle pockets are awesome and easy to access from the exterior, rather than having to open the back main compartment. Another of my favorite features is the top zippered access to the main compartment from inside the goggle compartment. Some reviewers complained that this zippered access is too small to effectively access the main compartment, but I use it all the time and it works just fine for me. I definitely recommend this pack for skiing.

Japan Pack
Took this pack on a 7 day tour to Japan. Perfect for what I needed in the backcountry. Utilized all functions of the pack and it held up great. Also set it up as an A frame on a little bit of a boot pack hike and it felt comfortable.

Awesome pack for touring
Super versatile and fits me perfect in the M/L size (I’m 183cm tall). Very high quality and none of the zippers catch. I find that 32L works great for short tours, while still having plenty of room for longer tours too.
