Haglofs Tight Large 25L
I bought the Haglofs TIGHT (size large) pack when I found myself skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland, and needed a quick pack on the spot to carry essential gear. It was a knee-jerk purchase that has proven to be a great call.
It is very comfortable and is the perfect size for day shots—just enough room, not too much, perfect profile for backcountry skiing in TIGHT trees.
Two compression straps enable you to carry skis on the outside if necessary. Outside pocket enables you to carry pieces of gear you need fast ie. skins, gloves, hats etc.
My only beef about this pack is that it has velcro holsters that conveniently hold a hydration pack, however, there is no exit perf. for a hydration hose. Well, that's where my crafty modifications came in to play.
My recommendation... Buy this pack. It is killer. You'll use this more than you even think.
