    new black diamond ski packs

    Didn't find any info on search.

    Anyone using the new black diamond ski packs for touring?
    They all were changed this year with better placement of avalung on the shoulder and they now incorporate a swivel waistbelt.

    Wondering how they perform and if the changes work well.

    Thanks.

    A buddy has one of the new packs with swivel waist and loves it. No avalung though. He's burned through a lot of packs and says the swivel waist is the best, most innovative pack feature he can remember.

    I have the new covert with the "swivel" and avalung and the old one without. They're two totally different packs. Prefer the new one for sure. If its only partially packed, I forget I'm even wearing it. It fills up nicely as well. Skins, bc gear, extra layers, water and food with room to spare (aka carrying extra layers for the wife.). The new one is more like they're alpine packs vs. they're climbing packs which is what I found the old ones like.
