Awesome bag, but terrible marketing
Yes , I recommend this product
This bag is great. The build quality is topnotch and you can really see the thought behind a lot of the features. So far I've used this for some resort skiing and I am hoping to use it for some light backcountry mountaineering. I just have two main gripes about this bag. First, the colour is very misleading. It is not a vibrant, high-hue yellow that the marketing images present. In reality, it is a darker, mustard-y yellow. I was trying to colour-coordinate with my other yellow gear so this was disappointing. Second, it is a mystery how the diagonal carry system works. Typically a bag will have an upper loop for securing skis/snowboards, but this bag only seems to come with the lower loop. No clue how to make this work - perhaps my bag is missing a strap? I kind of wish I could get another colour. MH if we can work this out I will update my review! All things considered, I still love this bag! It's the perfect volume for resort skiing and the A-Frame carry works really well.

Love It!
Yes , I recommend this product
I have been looking for a bag for my field work for a long time. Helmet holder works great for a hard hat and the avalanche tool pouch works amazingly for a rock hammer. Well made!

Ordered a size small and it fits perfect. Awesome pack for ski and hiking. Wish it got more pockets but other than that I think this is an awesome backpack! Would recommend it
