"The Mountainsmith™ women's Cross Country II backpack is great for peak bagging, with ice tools loops and a removable daypack for alpine assaults.

Fully adjustable torso length lets you customize the fit; dual-density foam waistbelt helps transfer the weight of the load to your hips. Airmesh suspension lining provides ventilation between you and the pack to minimize build up of body heat and perspiration. Removable front pocket converts to daypack, perfect for carrying the 10 Essentials during sojourns from base camp. Top- and panel-loading access allows easy entry into the roomy main compartment. Comes with an inside sleeve for holding your hydration reservoir; provides an exit portal on each side for the hydration tube. Mesh pockets keep water and power drinks handy for those who prefer water bottles; pockets are angled so there's no fighting to get bottle out. The top lid pocket is removable and has three pockets to stash maps, energy bars and other items you might want in a hurry. Side and bottom compression straps snug the load to minimize shifting and optimize center of gravity. Closeout."

"I have climbed many mountains in Monatana and Nevada and I never once had any problem carry loads of 50-70 lbs with this pack for many extended trips and I have lugged it up to 11000 feet with no trouble. All in all if you are looking for a pack that can do anything in the outdoors this is the one."

"just bought this bag and so far it seems to be made of solid materials and strong craftsmanship. The fact that I can acces my things from the front (as opposed to the top ony!) is really convenient. The front pocket detaches and becomes a day pack for peakbaggng."
