I got this pack for Hut and Yurt snowshow trips...

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Source: received it as a personal gift

Summary

I got this pack for Hut and Yurt snowshow trips... need space for gear and food but not a larger pack (i.e. for backpacking) or smaller pack (i.e. day hikes). I need a mid-size pack... It worked out great. it was easy to balance out the weight and the bright orange is great for in the snow.

Pros

  • Space for hut/yurt trips
  • Would make a great travel pack for train or air travel too

Cons

  • Too small for backpacking and too big for day hikes

Easy to adjust. Allowed me to organize the items as I needed. For the weight I carried it remained well balanced, and stable. Packing and access was easy.
