"After auditioning other packs, this one stands out for attention to detail, quality of build, and functionality! I was looking for a good snow/ice pack for S&R, and this one exceeded my expectations. Lots of thought went into this like the integral insulated pad (for sitting on cold surfaces), the snow shovel pocket, the long zip pulls (good for gloved hands grip), the probe/pole pocket, etc."

"This is a very sturdy ski winter pack, but perhaps too tricked out. How many secret pockets and extra sleeves do you really need? On the other hand, since it seems so sturdy it probably won't break when you overstuff it."
