10/10 pack
This is the perfect pack for backcountry riding or touring. As a smaller female, the S/M size fits perfect and is not too bulky. The pockets and specific sections of this pack allow for smooth transitions when splitboarding without having to dump out your entire pack. I especially like the side pockets for poles during the downhill or even with travel. The helmet sling that is fixed to a small pocket out the bottom of the bag is also a huge plus. All in all, after using this pack several times I can say the features, sizing and overall design was incredibly intentional and well thought out.
Compact and competent
The Powabunga, is compact, versatile, multipurpose pockets and straps. Love it!
Excellent Versatile Pack
I have used my Powabunga for 15 or so front country ski days so far. Excellent low profile pack that works well on a chair lift and will be an excellent back country pack. Thoughtfully designed internal organization pockets. The water bladder pocket fits a 3 liter insulated Camelback reservoir perfectly. Very comfortable shoulder straps. Overall quality seems top notch so far.
Best Ski Pack
Favorite pack for spltiboarding. Lots of ways to carry your board, lots of nice different pockets, and just a well thought out bad without too much complexity. Back zipper for main compartment access works really well compared to my GFs Black Diamond pack which is a pain.
Perfect Mountain Pack!
Best backpack i've owned for snow activities or otherwise! I also have a dakine heli 12L and its now completely obsolete thanks to my new Cowabunga 32.
Works great !!
Excellent product! Comfortable and not too bulky. Everything I need.
