This lightweight pack (2.69 pounds) accommodates everything you need for a successful day-long backcountry (or frontcountry) ski trip. A 26 liter volume is enough to house water (it’s hydration system compatible, too), food, valuables, extra layers, goggles and safety tools—i.e. everything. Additionally, the pivoting, flexible hip fins follow the contours of your body for ease of movement and also to help maintain a center of gravity. The fins are also conically-shaped to accommodate the female anatomy. If we had just one word with which to describe this pack, we’d go with “reliable.”
