Disappointing

Rating:**

This bag does NOT have ski carry of any kind, despite the description, and it also does not have a frame (O-Flex or whatever). You can figure that out from Ortovox's website, although I learned the hard way. It is also very lightly constructed and feels like it would break easily.
