Macpac Rocketeer
The Rocketeer has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best overnight packs for 2024.
An excelllent all round day pack/summit pack. It allows enough room for all your gear. A large pouch on the outside can carry a tent or shovel. Crampon patch + two quick release iceaxe tubes. Later versions can carry a snowboard.
I have used my pack every day for 7 years and it is a bit frayed on the padding but otherwise fine. Comfortable under medium loads.
Only design problem was zip cords broke early on. Replaced with large keyring - better than ever
