30 liters is a great size for one-day excursions in the backcountry. Leaves room for the essentials but cuts the weight of excess capacity. Gear is accessible either through the lid or the Backdoor opening allowing easy access to top and bottom loaded gear. An external helmet carrying system keeps this bulky piece of gear from taking up space in the pack.
The ski, axe and pole carrying systems are low profile so they do not get hung up while climbing. Constructed from tough ripstop nylon that is coated to help with protection from the elements.
