Finally a pack that fits

Rating:*****

This pack has put an end to a year long search for a pack that will fit a female frame, yet still hold enough stuff for a long, cold day. I am an average sized woman and found that the small size fit me well. I can stuff all of my ski gear in comfortably with plenty of pockets for organizing but not too many to lose things. It sits close against my back and moves well when I ski. The zippers are waterproof and there are two convenient points of access from the top and the back/side. The waist pocket is easy to reach and the insulated sleeve will also serve as a second pocket if you don't use a camel back. It has a variety of ski carry systems and attachment points that work well. My ski partners asked to try it on because they liked it so much. Overall, great pack.

End of a long search

Rating:*****

getting this pack concluded a long quest I was on for the best snowboard touring pack I could find. I know folks love their Ospreys and Dakines but I preferred an external shovel pocket that the Switch didn't have, and then I had been hearing Dakine's quality had gone downhill although their designs are hard to beat. This pack has it all; insulated drinking tube sleeve, the side pocket is surprisingly roomy for the shovel handle and probe (even my curved DB deploy) nice top pocket for mitts or whatever and then it's accessible in 2 ways with the board or snowshoes strapped on. pretty fricken' sweet. The lifetime warranty makes it a safe purchase but it seems unlikely I will have to deal with that seeing as Gregory folk aren't snoozing on the quality control.

Sweet Pack

Rating:****

I use this pack for short camping, backpacking, and even road trips and love it. Very sturdy and comfortable. Lots of pockets. The waterproof level of this pack seems excellent. I only have 2 complaints about this pack. 1) The largest compartment is only accessible through the small top opening. 2) I always want to carry more stuff, so I find myself wishing it was bigger. Maybe I just need to pack lighter...

Fine pack

Rating:*****

I've been using the Targhee for a couple years playing and guiding in the Northern Cascades -- over a hundred winter day trips. It fits, carries enough and has proven durable. The shovel and probe compartments are handy for keeping safety gear organized and accessible. The Targhee is a solid choice.
