Bag purchased when the lifts were closed due to covid, this gave us the opportunity to carry our skis to the summit. The ski boots fit into the bag and the skis slide into the straps on the sides. Nothing to complain about this use, the removable back is very practical, I continue to use it regularly and it does not really get damaged
bag bought at the end of January, used on skis and in town. simple and practical, but for 3 weeks the seam of the closure of the external pocket has been torn for no apparent reason... it's a bit light for a "mountain" bag which is only 9 months old.
Very good & convenient to carry extra stuff. Not necessarily for freeriding alone, also for general equipment on the slopes.
The backpack is very comfortable for off-piste skiing. The emergency pocket is easily accessible and its volume is generally sufficient. Good and sturdy material. The backpack is not the best for backpacking or winter hiking because of the wide belt that gets in the way and the insufficient adjustment of the straps.
convenient
A piece of the chest strap broke, where it joins the main straps. Indeed, as the chest straps are not sewn but just "clipped" in the jaw on the other straps, one of them gave way from the first hour of walking under the stress of the weight of the skis. Once this problem is solved, it will be an excellent bag with an unbeatable value for money.
This is the medium size with removable back protection. Since I always wear a backpack while skiing, this gives extra back protection in case of a possible fall. Sufficient storage compartments.
Heavy backpack. Only one pocket. Complex protection setting. Not tested and not worn. Not meeting my expectations, this item was returned to the store without difficulty.
good support, you don't feel it in the back, no problem for skiing/snowboarding, ideal size for day trips. for me small weak point mask pocket too small for 2 masks (I have several masks depending on the weather conditions but put another compartment easily)
Very convenient
Very good product, just a pity, one of the pockets has an opening that is too small (the same opening size as the pocket to store the mask)
Good and practical in all respects. Price also absolutely acceptable!
I was looking for a backpack that had a RIGID BACK because I found all the adherent solutions uncomfortable and awkward. If worn with a slimfit jacket it does its job well and doesn't bother you when skiing. In addition, I also use it for off-piste snow outings by inserting the avalanche transceiver kit in its dedicated compartment. It would be even better if it also had an external attachment for example for poles or ice axes, so as to be able to widen the field of use.
Great for carrying children's skis
Excellent bag for school or for any activity, skiing, biking, hiking or other requiring protection or not. Super easy to put on and take off.
