Here's what other sites are saying:

From CampSaver.com:
"Backcountry Access was the first to pioneer the concept of freezeproof winter hydration.Then they made it more convenient with their Nalgene-compatible hydration system.In 2007-08, theyve broken new ground by adding Outlast temperature regulation technology.In 07-08, theyre making freezeproof last even longer by adding warmth when you need it most: when youre not producing body heat.The Stash sleeves are insulated with Outlast phase change material, which stores heat when its produced and releases it when the temperature drops.With the Outlast sleeve, your hose and bite valve now retain heat longer during cold lift rides or when you remove your pack."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Backcountry Access Stash Valhalla Backpack carries either skis or snowboards with ease and has a freeze-proof hydration system that keeps you from sucking ice as you trek into the backcountry. Stuff your shovel and probe into the Valhalla Backpack's easy-access external pockets and get hiking. Choose between diagonal and A-frame ski carry, or if you're taking a snowboard along, strap it vertically and seek out those virgin lines. The freeze-proof, Nalgene-compatible hydration system holds your bite valve and tube in an Outlast insulated sleeve, which stores and releases your body heat evenly throughout the day. Pack an extra insulation layer, lunch, and first aid kit in this Backcountry Access backpack's top-loading 2600 cubic inches of storage space."

"I've used this pack for 2 winters back country skiing. Overall it has been a good pack, I really like the back pocket for easy access to my probe and shovel, the hip belt pockets for holding lip balm and snacks, and it was just the right size for a day trips worth of gear and food."

"This has been a great pack for snowshoeing and the winter-specific features that BCA built in have been greatly appreciated. Storing the hydration tube in the left shoulder strap really does help to keep it from freezing up. Shovels fit nicely into a purpose-built pocket with well-placed straps and holes."
