Product Reviews and Questions
this pack rocks
I have five other packs for backcountry skiing, but I needed to carry my splitboard, hard boots, crampons, AND a huge bear can along with my tent and sleeping back to camp/ ski Shasta, this pack does it all. The extra back pocket had room for my shovel and helmet. The material is super tough. I had to make a small hole to pass thru my camel back hose, had to take a knife to it as neither my ski pole or crampon tip would scratch it. My partner brought two packs, one for camping and another for skiing, what a hassle, stop reading this review and buy the pack, you will love it!
Phenomenal Carrying Ability
Carries FAR better than anticipated given the weight with zero shoulder issues, fully loaded for multiple 5 day traverses. Compared to the Patagonia Ascentionist it’s a different league. Face fabric is slightly less durable than imagined but hole did not rip and was easily patched with tenacious tape. Beware ice axes…
3 Stars
Light and comfortable but needs a side access zipper. Annoying to unroll top to get into main compartment. Heard you can install a side zip if you find a pack co to retrofit it.
Worth it
Well designed, extremely light and tough. So far so great. I have used this pack for about two months now and it is very versatile. It cinches down for day tours but had plenty of room for a two night hut trip. Able to easily carry all that I need and like that everything is contained. The avy took pocket is large and fairly expandable. The y top strap is incredibly useful and I can’t get over how light it is. Only pain is using the roll-top, especially if you close it and then forget to take out or put in something. Other than that small inconvenience, it’s totally worth it. Don’t see why I wouldn’t use it this summer for backcountry camping.
Great Winter SAR Pack
Holds all my winter SAR gear with room to spare, separate pocket for avy tools is nicer, belt pockets hold snacks and small items, very comfortable and durable. Probably will be my summer pack to!
