Technical features fall short
I bought this pack early in the season to use in low-angle terrain when I didn't want to carry the full weight of my avalanche airbag pack. I chose it because of the technical features such as the dedicated avalanche gear pocket and the helmet gasket. For reference, I'm female, 5'6"" and 135lbs. I like the color, weight, amount of pockets, and how the back panel allows easy access to soft goods and keeps them separate from the front pocket where I typically have my shovel, probe, skins, and water bottle. My biggest complaint is with the helmet gasket. It's terrible. There's a round elastic band around the edges that is intended to wrap around the outside of the helmet and hold it to the pack. However, the dimensions are all wrong and instead it looks like my helmet is about to pop out at any second. It's way worse if the pack has a light load (see photo). Additionally, the gasket is too small for a normal sized helmet if the pack is fully loaded. I have a feeling I'm going to end up tearing it at some point trying to get my helmet on. Finally, the gasket attaches to the bag with a small plastic bar that slides into a loop (photo). This piece has come undone on me several times while I'm on a tour, and it's almost impossible to get it back together with cold hands. There's no reason the gasket should come off at all, so it's odd that Osprey chose that type of a connection point. My secondary complaint is with the back panel pocket. The shoulder straps have a more flimsy material where the straps connect to the bag, and it creates a fold that always interferes with that zipper (photo). It's manageable but annoying. Lastly, all the straps use a buckle that must be unclipped to extend the strap (photo). I understand they were likely trying to make it easier to extend the strap with gloves, but it has the opposite effect. There's a learning curve, and it's still not easy to work with. For what I paid at full price, I wish I had chosen a different pack.

Great pack, not perfect by any means
I'm on my 2nd season with this bag. Super nice for a casual tour, and a low angle, low consequence ski. This does not seem to be 30 liters, can't use for guiding, Avalanche education teaching, not enough room for personal goods, rope and safety equipment. Also true about not having exit for radio mic. I modified the helmet holder with a tie (see photo) and can't stand the buckles that are hard to adjust and in the way of safety equipment, when you need access you NEED access! But a nice 1st edition.
Best backcountry skiing pack I’ve owned
Love, love, love this pack for backcountry skiing! Spacious. Smartly designed. Carries the extra weight well when skis are strapped on. The only drawback is the design of the helmet carrier. It doesn’t seem very secure but I’ve just found other ways to attach my helmet.
Great back country pack!
I got this based on the reviews. It’s a great pack that is perfect for backcountry skiing adventures. Zipper in the back is perfect for my shovel, probe, and keeping my water from freezing. Helmet strap is an added bonus. This pack is gray more than it is blue.
Great day pack for resort skiing and some hiking.
Like all Osprey products, this is thoughtfully designed. Well balanced with just a water bladder or when carrying skis as well.
Wanted to love this pack
I was really excited to try this pack out for ski touring, until I started packing it and realized the my avalanche probe doesn't fit in the designated pocket. The probe was sticking out the top making it so I was unable to fully zip the avy pocket. This is a huge downfall for me as I wouldn't want to risk my avy gear falling out of my pack if I were caught in a slide. Unfortunately because of this, I ended up returning the pack. Otherwise it would have been perfect
Sick as frik
Oh man this pack! It’s been so good! I got it for that spring corn but let me tell you I’ve been using it for field work instead. It holds all the things you need rain jacket, first aid, and even 1.5 spotting scopes comfortably! I love the hip belt. The clasp could be bigger but whatever. It opens very weirdly but I’m into it. I know this thing will be great whenever I finally use it for its intended purpose because she’s killing it in the biology world!
almost perfect
the backpack is comfortable and pretty well designed. for being a 30 liter bag it often feels really tight on space, though - and there's a few things that would make it a lot more usable. things I wish were different: -water bladder compatibility or outside water bottle pocket option -more secure helmet attachments -slightly wider ski carry straps to accommodate a splitboard in ski mode -larger hip belt pocket -better radio cord compatibility
Great to haul kids skis
Amazing backpack for carrying kids skis. I aframe 2 kids sets of skis in the backpack. Then I am free to carry my own skis and poles. Much less awkward than carrying 2-3 sets of skis. Without it. Holds lunch and all the layers we need to have a comfortable day. I highly recommend this pack.
