Simply the best pack on the market. Construction is bombproof. The shoulder straps are really well made and VERY comfortable. No other pack has a better suspension system. The large kangaroo pocket is very usefull; perfect for a shell, wet gear or a water bottle. it's easy to carry skis with the two pockets on the side of the pack. The side zipper for the main compartment and the occipital cavity between tops of stays are other features that make this pack so functional. The only thing i don't like is that the hip belt is hard to fold and takes a lot of space in the car or for air travel.
