Great Pack
Animal at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 03/03/2010 Rated:  I have used this pack for 2 seasson. Here is the nitty gritty. 32L is small enough to get what you need and force the non-essentials out. I found it maxed out every use, if you take a puffy down for cold beley's. The tool holding system is great, quality is outstanding. I used this pack for ice climbing, mountaineering and backcountry skiing.
Cons: Not the best bag for skiing. The pack does come with ski holders slots that fit most skiis, however i run a fat ski for powder and FreeRide bindings. My set up was too much for this pack. Plus avi rescue kit must be stored inside the pack. There are not outside straps of pockets to lash on probes and a shovel handle. Other packs have a pouch for these items for fast access and leaving more room inside your pack. If you try to lash them on, you might loose something, lets just say BD scored another Probe sale off of this. Other than that the pack is great.
3 Friends also purchased this pack after i got mine. All sold other highend packs and prefered this one over other brands. Best Ice Climbing bag
