Designed for those who can't stay out of the snow, the Arc'teryx Silo 18 Backpack features snow shedding, polyurethane coated materials to help keep your gear dry even after a few deep powder runs. For the hike from the helicopter to your bowl of choice, the quick and easy Wrap System offers a simple and effective way to carry your skis or board. A hydration bladder pocket and hose clip allow for easy rigging of a drinking system, while numerous other pockets offer organization that would make a wedding planner envious. Laminated shoulder straps and a thermoformed back panel provide exceptional cushioning, much appreciated when your car is parked at least a quarter mile from the lodge.
Driven by innovation, ARC'TERYX was founded to build better gear. They didn’t just focus on incremental advancements, but on radically improving the status quo. They began with climbing harnesses and then proceeded to tackle packs and apparel with the same single-minded obsession for creating the lightest, best performing, and highest quality products available. To realize their vision they’ve created groundbreaking new construction technology, developed paradigm-shifting designs and harnessed major fabric technology developments.
This compact panel loading daypack has two external pockets and one inside for sorting gear, and the improved Wrap System will hold skis or a board.
Built with snow shedding fabrics for epic descents, the ARCTERYX Silo 18 pack utilizes a Wrap System integrated with the compression straps to securely carry you skis or snowboard while internal pockets and a hydration bladder pocket keep you going all day.
The compact size and versatile features of the Arc'teryx Silo 18 Backpack goes great with a quick morning backcountry tour or yo-yo runs on your ski or snowboard. Wrap System straps hold skis or a snowboard in a variety of positions to let you choose the most appropriate for the terrain. The Silo 18 Backpack holds just enough extra clothes and snacks for a short tour, and its hydration pocket lets you bring along your favorite bladder.
The Silo 18 was made for quick jaunts to the side country and as a go-to pack for those long days at the lift area. It has enough room for any safety gear, water, and chow without the bulk of a typical daypack.

Always wanted Arc'teryx. Finally got one! | |

Just received this pack- so far I've noticed very nice build and quality control right out of the box. I am surprised at how much gear this pack holds! I keep stuffing things into it, and somehow it keeps accommodating-all while maintaining its comfortable, secure feel. I'm very glad that I took a chance on this pack, as I was not able to inspect it before purchase.Since I have $0.00 for anything but work these days, I will be trying it out as my carry on/laptop/general all purpose bag for a 3 week, 4 city consecutive trip for work( trade show A/V tech). It replaces a medium Timbuk2 messenger bag. Confidence is high.As for laptops- my 13" Macbook fits with ease. I am sure it will fit a 15", but with a little less lateral wiggle room. Just to give you and idea, the bag can hold my Macbook horizontally (12.78"), albeit WAY stretched. Obviously not recommended, but should provide a sense of what the bag can do in a bind. The laptop does not fit in the hydration pocket (I have the Fall'09 version).Top pocket easily holds a 32 oz. Gatorade bottle. Front pocket very easily holds a Timbuk2 large clear zip pouch, with room to spare(I was able to stuff a rolled up pair of jeans in there with the pouch, but it was tight). I fit a 16 oz. jar in the internal zip pouch. With the above three pockets filled as described, I was able to fit my laptop, Alpha M1-A jacket with room to stuff plenty of other soft items(t-shirts, socks, etc.) in the nooks. For a visit to a friend or relative, this bag could serve me for a weekend, no problem. And who knows? Maybe I will even get to enjoy some outdoors activities w/this pack at some point. | |

Great pack, but a bit small | |

I bought this pack after borrowing a friend's for a day-long backcountry ski tour. The pockets are really well designed and the pack is very comfortable. I love the light green fabric on the inside, which makes it very easy to find things without digging around. I also like that it's not a silo - the zipper runs all the way around so it's easy to find what you need. While the hip belt is pretty basic, it is comfortable and does what it needs to. The shoulder straps are also very comfortable. I frequently wear this when I am telemarking at a resort but want to carry equipment for a quick skin up a nearby mountain. It holds the basics (shovel, probe, skins, water, snacks and a few small things like sunscreen and an extra layer) but that's it. If it's a hot day and you want to store the extra layers you wore, you'll have to strap them to the outside. I find this pack very comfortable to ski with, and I ski expert terrain almost exclusively. I have also used it for longer ski tours and it has likewise served me well. I also found it slightly awkward to strap skis to the outside for boot packing it up a mountain. The skis were a bit unsteady and swayed. Possibly I just haven't found the right system yet. My only complaint is that I wish it was slightly bigger. It's always nice to have the option to cinch down extra, unused space than not to have the option at all. I'm sure i"ll use the pack for day hiking trips in the summer too. (And my MacBook pro fits perfectly inside the shovel pocket, as does a hydration system.) Overall, I'm happy with this pack but not raving about it. | |

Perfect size, incredible capacity for size, sleek, love it! | |

| It is simply perfect. Super clean thoughtful design. Materials...Arc Teryx, what can you say-state of the art. It is so unobtrusive even when loaded up. Looks small, but the design is so well thought out, you can really load it up if you need to. Goggle pocket rocks. I am a professional photographer and use it primarily now for cameras and lenses. I'm a snowboarder though and wanted a pack to take snowboarding. I like to simplify and this allows me to do that. Snowboarding in Niseko, Japan now on my third week and have hit the incredible back country here and this pack is always with me. | |

"solid construction, comfortable, functional" | |

| This pack is def compact, but it packs a big punch. theres a nice water bladder holder inside and convenient hose holder on the strap. i used this baby snowboarding in utah at it was perfect. the pockets are very convenient as well- one on the outside where the black patch thing is, one on top, and a secret pocket on the inside. most of all this pack is SOLID. construction quality is beefy. i could fill this thing up with ten bricks and have confidence it wont tear. | |

Excellent Pack that fits more than it looks | |

Niiiice pack. You really appreciate the pack's shape when you are a moving hard and fast -- your arm-swing is not hindered and the balance and center of gravity from the shape (and your smart packing of course) complements forward (especially downhill) momentum. The pack's well engineered shoulder harness and overall light weight means you forget it's behind you. Materials as all Arcteryx are top-notch so no durability concerns. All in all a great pack. | |

| Redberry is a beauty, it has the look, the style. The pockets are well distributed, it definitely make my sorting of stuff easier. I love its internal too, as it's bright-colored so i can search for my stuff in ease, unlike the usual packs with dark internal color. A nice sturdy bag that has enough storage for a day hike. I bring it along with me to work and leisure almost everyday. Im loving it. | |

Love this pack. Use it for college (with laptop and books inside) as well as snowshoeing, climbing and other outdoor stuff. It works perfectly for all of them. You can attach pretty much anything to the outside in a comfortable way. I think some of the other reviewers have gotten too used to overly cushy, padded packs. I love the simplicity of this one better. | |

Got this with some Christmas money and I have been super pleased with it. Even though it doesn't have a "belt," it does have does have a waist strap. If you cinch it down it stabilizes enough, at least for me. The pockets are well thought out and the straps and back panel are incredibly comfortable. I forget I'm wearing it when descending | |

This thing just holds a lot of stuff. I found a extra compartment 3 months after I had owned it. I use this for day hikes in the summer and for day outings in the winter while I am snowshoeing. It can hold my shovel and avalanche probe with ease. The bladder compartment works great as well. I have no complaints. | |

Questionable design, quality materials, real disappointment | |
| Rating: |  |
| I don't know what Arcteryx was thinking when they designed this pack. it is supposed to be a ski pack, and has a clever ski attachment for that purpose. However, the pack does not have a real hipbelt. Anyone who carried skis on the backpack knows that (1) skis weigh the same regardless of the pack volume, (2) skis are heavy, and (3) heavy loads are much more comfortable to carry with weight on the hips and not on the shoulders. This design completely ignores all these issues. It is a ski pack that is not suitable for carrying skis... Hence the fail grade. | |

NOt a good ski pack | |
| Rating: | |
One of the main purposes of a winter pack is carrying skis, even if you are doing a short bootpack, you would move faster if the your pack is comfortable. If you are carrying skis, you need a hipbelt. Arcteryx forgot that even if the pack is 18L small, the skis are still heavy. Bootpacking with skis on a backpack is sooo much more comfoprtable if the pack has a real hipbelt... Without it the straps dig in your shoulders and the whole thing sways from side to side. Not comfortable at all. | |
