Great ski/snowboard backpack

I bought this backpack to carry my essentials while snowboarding at a ski resort and it did not disappoint. The main compartments allow me to carry my lunch, GoPro and accessories, an interlayer jacket, goggles, a portable charger and other personal electronics. There is an open compartment to slip a helmet or bulky jacket in, which I found very handy (especially on the way from the ski resort). The backpack has a slim profile that makes it almost invisible on the chairlift (personally I forgot I was wearing it) so it fits my needs and expectations. I have several other backpacks for different activities (work, hiking, tennis) and I can say that this is a quality backpack. At first I doubted its size is too small, but my concerns quickly disappeared after using it. The only downside is that I wish there were retainers on the shoulder straps to keep the excess strap tight rather than loose, the other straps in this backpack have retainers for that.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
