Review on VenTerra First Tracks Backcountry Backpack by Chris Spoja

So apparently I bought this steak bag for about $70. Sold for 300+. When I opened it I was delighted because the packaging was pretty flat. As I started looking at the features, I realized how well thought out this pack is. With a fold down top closure and a securely fastened velcro on the board/ski carrier, this bag won't disappoint. I would pay full price for that any day. It appears to be waterproof, if not waterproof. The hydraulic/bladder compartment is separate from the large 30/35 liter compartment which is good because you don't get your gear wet if it bursts or has a problem. It also sits closer to the back, so your body heat warms your bladder when the temperature drops below zero. It's so light I feel like I'm wearing it even with a thick compact of powder. Let's just say they focused on saving you every ounce. I would use this on and off the trails and when hiking summer or winter. So far it seems incredibly well constructed and I love the color I got. Looks 100 times better than the pictures online.
