The best airbag pack - Ortovox Ascent 40 Avabag Kit

This has been my go to pack for all of last season and the upcoming one. The size is perfect for me to get everything I need in there for a day of guiding or teaching Avalanche courses. When I am out for a quick tour and not carrying as much the compression straps work really well to cinch it all down so the pack does not feel baggy when it isn't fully loaded. I love the internal pockets, they help with organization and I found that a couple of stuff sacks in the main compartment really help to keep things in order. Not to mention that the pack is super light for an airbag pack and carries really well. I have had my skis on here for boot packing and I've carried ice tools, crampons and a rope with the pack as well and it holds everything no problem. The airbag components come out really easily as well if you don't feel like you need to have them with you.
Bottom line: this is a highly functional ski pack that also has an airbag. If you look at other options out there it seems like the airbag part is the main focus of the pack and carrying all your stuff is an afterthought.
