Great Backpack

Been using the backpack for 1.5 years now really live the packing volume used it for day trips and multiple day trips climbing,ski touring. love all of it except for the waist and chest clips. the shest clip broke after half a year and now the waist clip broke ass well last week and the clips are difficult tho use with gloves and close very difficult when used in snowy conditions.

I really like the backpack at first! Excellent features and comfort! Aaand no bother wearing it with a helmet on and climping steep uphill, when you are just 1,60m tall. Just one question to the designers: How did you manage or thought to fit, all stuff and equipment INSIDE the bag for a one-day or multi-day glaicier skiing or glacier hiking trip? Rope, helmet, harnesh, carabiners, crampons, avalance equipment.... ice axt, ski...the bag has all the features but it seems not to be usable for it. I test packed it (!without any extra changing clothes or food or water ! ) it simply does not fit... so did you every consider to use it for real all at once or think of a bigger version?
Also if its full I doub it stays somthing like dry inside?Lid cannot be closed completly if fully packed. The loop for fixing the ice axe give a hole in the bags inside, wich is not sealed from there. So I expect water ingress in strong rain or during midday when ice is mellting.
Makes me need extra inside bags... loss of space and extra weight...Also I doub the zipper from the top will stay sealed longer than 1...2 years. So resümee... very nice design... but maybe not very usable in real frequent glacier environment... for me more like a fancy daypack you can maybe impress instagramm followers with going up a ski piste, a day hike in the forest during sunshine or for a coffee...
I dont see it frequent to use mountain stuff... also too expensive for just a day pack...

Muy new go to everything back pack. Very light and comfortable for trekking and climbing. Usefull shoulder straps pockets and full size side zipper.

Super sac. Les accessoires sur les bretelles ( porte flasque et poches) sont un plus rare et vraiment pratique. Par contre si il pouvait avoir une autre couleur je donnerai 5 étoiles 😉
