The Bare essentials. | |
| Rating: |  |
I was stoked when this pack came out a few years. It is small and thats why I like it. As you can see the plaid print stands out, and stands out, important in the backcountry environment. This a day pack for skiing out access gates at your local ski area, or for carrying around some gear while skiing the area, perfect for snowcat skiing or making those dreamed about heli runs. The avalung is built in, why not? Why wouldn't you want this? To me its as important as your beacon. Last year was a prime example that slides can occur inbounds at resorts. Another tool that takes up zero space when its built right into your pack. | |

Great small pack | |

I've taken it on several bc trips this year, and as long as you pack thoughtfully it can hold everything you need, and the ski down is great. | |

Small pack perfect for half day | |
| Rating: | |
This pack is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a small pack for sidecountry or slackcountry. I wouldn't recommend it for a full day tour as it won't hold much more than a reservoir, extra layer, hat and gloves. The shoulder straps took a few days to break in, but now they are quite comfortable. I have carried 138 waisted skis in the carry with no problems at all. I use the deploy 7 shovel, which just barely fits. This small pack is well designed, efficient, and I've had no durability problems with it after using it roughly 25 days. | |

Great small pack. | |
| Rating: | |
This thing is by no means big, but it can handle a shovel, probe, extra gloves and hat, which is all I really need when steeping out of bounds from the resort. The added benefit of having the avalung included in a lightweight, comfortable pack is huge. My only gripe is that the waist strap is pretty small (it is comfortable to ride with, but difficult to find and strap together at times). | |

Great Day touring pack | |
| Rating: |  |
Work perfect with Backcountry Access Tour Shovel System, or most other shovels. Put your hydration pack in there, you have room for skins, a layer, gogs, gloves, and what other small essentials you'll need. Simple ski carrying system seems to work nicely, don't think it would work so hot with a snowboard. So far so good, i am stoked on its performance so far | |

small but featured... | |

Nice day pack for shorter days in the backcountry or perfect for cruising around the resort on day that you might head out a gate towards the backcountry. I know a lot of people are starting to wear beacons and avalungs inbounds these days, I think this is the perfect pack for that. | |
