From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Anarchist Pack with Avalung (Spring 2008) - 20% Off (use code 581) The Anarchist Pack by Black Diamond with AvaLung is a lightweight, snow-specific ski pack featuring the seamless integration of our AvaLung so it's always ready for engagement yet protected from snow packing and conveniently stowed away for non-avalanche-terrain use. This streamlined backcountry kit can hold enough gear for an overnight tour but is capable of compressing into a small, tight rig for day trips. The Anarchist's unique Y-rod offers solid support when carrying larger loads and allows the pack to move with you line an extension of your body. Thermoformed suspension components provide maximum comfort and freedom of movement, while adjustable front ski/board attachment system and side panel access make carrying or accessing gear simple and easy. Water-shedding, tough 420d fabric reinforced with 1300d Ballistics provides tour-after-tour, season-after-season durability.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond Anarchist Winter Pack comfortably carries all your gear for a day of backcountry skiing, and it can save your life with its integrated Avalung. Couloir Magazine was so impressed they gave it the Design Innovation award. The shoulder-mounted mouth piece is easy to access if you get caught in a slide, and it increases your chances of survival by helping you breathe under the snow. If you're the one searching, pull off this pack, open the front avie pocket, and quickly remove your shovel and probe. The Anarchist Pack with Avalung is available in a 32L size for half-day tours and a 42L size when you're in the backcountry from sun up to sun down."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"For full days of climbing and skiing in avalanche country, this motion-friendly Black Diamond Anarchist pack includes an integrated AvaLung, so it’s on board if needed. The unique Y-rod suspension and dynamic, thermoform back panel, hip belt and shoulder straps complement, rather than hinder, the motions of skiing. Its expandable, top-loading design features a side-access panel for grabbing gear on the fly. The 420d nylon fabric and 1300d Ballistic reinforcements offer water-shedding, long-wearing performance. Note: Essentially the 32 L functions as a S/M torso and the 42 L as a L/XL.

Men's Anarchist with AvaLung
Reviewed by Rufessor, Oct 16, 2006

"Since this is a new product, I will briefly summarize what I think. . . having packed it up, played with it etc but not yet gone out touring. The pack is nicely constructed with the Ava-lung fitting into the left shoulder strap and routing exhaled air down to the bottom/side of the pack away from the face."
