Pack for Ski Mountaineering
I've searched and read some past threads, but none seem to fit the bill.
My requirments:
-35 to 40L
-dedicated avy tool pocket (for shovel, probe and occasionally wet skins
-side compression straps (both upper and lower, don't want fixed straps)
-TWO ice axe holders, preferby modern design - not the loop
-CLEAN design, don't need an excess of straps and bullshit on the outside
-will compress well when not filled
-top loading, but has pocket that can be accessed while carrying skis
I have been using a Deuter Freeride 26 but its just too small for long days and an occasional light over night
Some packs that look interesting but can't find any firsthand info about:
