So, I got a ton of questions about the Arc’teryx Litric pack. I made a quick prelim review of it here: https://youtu.be/TylbWH3oQ4U

TLDR: It's light. It packs well. It can take a hydration hose. The little crotch strap carabiner thing actually works well.

Thanks for the review—any comments on how it carries and skis vs. the Ortovox pack?

Good question. The back panel feels stiffer, as do the padded sections of the waist strap. These combined with the (in my opinion) better shape of the pack - wider but less anterior-posterior depth, keep the weight closer to your back, and things move around a little less.

But I’d say it’s probably a 10% difference. The biggest difference is just the way the packs are designed. The Arcteryx feels like a normal top loader that happens to open almost completely if needed. The Ortovox, because it is widest in the middle, was harder to use as a top loader for me. It packed more like a carry on suitcase. 100% personal preference - lots of people love the ortovox design.

Thanks @Skip Dooley.
That seems like pretty decent (useable) volume.
if you have time some time, I’d love to know the back length (center hip belt - attachment shoulder straps)
