    Outstanding!

    I have tried many packs, but this one beats them all.



  • I was born with a spine-problem and have always had problems to find packs that doesn't irritate my spine. This pack has a channel in the middle that solves the problem.

  • Integrated bivy pad.

  • A "bowl" cut out at the top of the sack that doesn't hinder movement when you have the helmet on.

  • Good extra outer pocket for crampons. Or gasoline or other stuff you don't want inside the sack.

  • The back panel breaths very well.

  • Three point haul system.

  • Gear loops.

  • You can get rid of the waistbelt and stove it away.

  • it's shape is slimmed in a way you don't feel it when climbing technical stuff.

  • High snow lock.

  • The internal map pocket is placed in a good way.



    It's a mountaineering sack, so of course it has capability for double axes, skis, rope compression straps on top and outer half-pockets for tent poles.



    I have used it for large mountains, for tech climbing and for easier hiking. It was loaded with 40kg as a maximum and it made it, but I started to feel the shoulder straps quite a lot then, but of course it's not made for such heavy loads.



    Five stars without any doubt!
