The Business !
6 months ago
This is the alpine climbing pack I've been waiting for! I use it mostly without the lid so that I can look up wearing a helmet. The 2 side pockets give easy access to essential items and there is also an additional pocket which is removable inside the main compartment. It's totally waterproof too, I actually filled my pack with snow and left it in the sun at basecamp, we used it for storing water ! Side straps can be used for carrying ski's or extra kit and if you need extra room you can add the lid which has two compartments. Love it :-)

High quality, versatile backpack

So far I'm really enjoying this pack. Enough room to use it as a travel bag, detachable brain comes off easily and you can fit the main body of the bag in an overhead on the plane. Remove the frame too, and you have a great roomy daypack. The lightweight and durable materials held up against some solid rain while hiking in the cascades with no water seeping through. Looking forward to putting it through some more technical adventures this summer! Giving 4 stars because I'd have liked an interior sleeve along the back to help separate avalanche tools or do other minor internal organization in the main compartment, but otherwise this is almost exactly what I've been looking for!

Insane water proofing

Best pack Mountain hardware has ever made, I use this for mountain rescue missions and recently took this into some canyons in Zion and fully submerged this pack in pools of water for extended periods of time and it stayed completely dry. My only complaint is they don’t make this in a 55L size!!

good but not perfect
2 months ago
This is my third version of this pack (prior two had the waist belt stitching blow out - this one seems better with reinforced bar tacks on the waist belt sleeve). Just used this newest pack on a multiday ski mountaineering trip, loaded to about 50lb with skis and boots attached. It is pretty good but not perfect. The side cinch straps need a locking mechanism, otherwise they do not stay cinched with skis in A frame setup (I had to tie an overhand in the strap end). Even better would be a lower sewn strap to slot ski tails into. A strap on the back of the pack to allow the option of diagonal ski carry would be nice (strapped to the back of the pack diagonally, with both tips above one shoulder and both tails below the other). Also was disappointed to find one of the shoulder strap cinch buckles was threaded incorrectly so it would not lock. I had to cut the folded/stitched end of the strap webbing to be able to pull it out of the buckle and thread it back correctly. Not the end of the world, but that should not have been missed in quality control.
