The best pack ever. period. - Ortovox Peak 45L Daypacks

I have owned and used a lot of packs. This is by far the best multisport pack I have ever had. From backcountry skiing, to ice climbing, alpine climbing, ANYTHING! This Pack does it all. I have had this pack for 3 years and put over 500 days on it and its still killing it. I have hauled this pack up rock climbs, used is in the desert for 3 seasons, and hauled 70 pounds into the wind rivers for 5 days of climbing with it and its only got minor pin holes and sun fade.

I love the pockets this thing has, its enough to keep your stuff organized but not so much that you forget which pocket your snacks are in! I like that it can carry two ice tools and crampons on the outside and having a pocket dedicated to rescue tools (shovel and probe). makes getting to these essentials fast and easy. I use the rescue tools pocket for holding guidebooks in the summer when I am rock climbing.

The circumferential zipper allows you to open this thing up like a briefcase or just get to your warm jacket shoved at the bottom of the pack quickly. I use this feature al the time and have not had any problems with the zipper.

Bottomw line, for skiing or ice climbing, or both, you cannot beat this pack.

I am a full time, year-round mountain guide and a member of the Ortovox North American team I received this gear to test and use.
