Very nice quality and style for a good price

Bought this bag a few months ago. I took this backpack deep into the backcountry only once, but it was amazing how stable it felt when it came to boulder hopping and glacier traversing.

It is a very comfortable fit for people under 6'.

I traveled with it around the world, and it hasn't disappointed me once. I get a lot of compliments on how it looks.

It has so many handy hooks and straps for strapping skis and ice axes, and an easy to access hook for climbing rope.

Good backpack but not so lightweight

Good backpack, comfortable and easy to load. But it is not lightweight which could be a problem for women. It does not have raincover and it is not waterproof so it is suitable for snow.

Advantages
Easy to load
Comfortable to carry
Disadvantages
Too heavy

Love this pack!

Works really well as a winter mountaineering and ski touring pack. Attachment point for ice axe is well thought out as is pocket for avalanche shovel. Good size top pocket too.
