This is a great winter backpack. It has an amazing amount of space. It carries well and there are plenty of adjustments for how it fits your body. I just realized from looking at its pictures that I have been closing it wrong. It has loops for ice axe handles and a daisy chain that allows you to hook on additional equipment. It comes with extra bungees and various carrying clips etc to carry anything extra you want to take backpacking. It is made of a material that is much tougher than my summer pack. The waist pockets are large. You can remove the belt but I wouldn’t recommend it. The only thing I wish it had was upper side pockets. I really don’t use the zipper that lets you access it from anywhere because I use a pack liner. A definite 5/5 according to me.
