Vertical Snowboard Carry Backpack

5 YUFEI-SUN
I already have several hiking backpacks such as Osprey and Gregory. Although this AMG55 is a technical backpack, its biggest highlight is its bright and visually striking color scheme. As an outdoor bag, I like bright color schemes the most, which is also why I like it.

No nonsense mountain pack with everything you need to succeed. And I just want to comment on some of the other reviews that gave a lower rating for their complete ignorance about mountain packs. Yes, that's correct, it does not have openings on the sides or front of it to access the main compartment. Because it's a mountain pack, needs to be that way. It's a tube, and you put a waterproof liner in it anyway. There is no access other than the top. It's to keep all your essentials like your parka, sleeping back, food, etc., DRY!! Either you have n't ever really climbed a glacier and just want to look kool with a mountain pack, OK, that's fine, but how about learning something before offering up a review that is completely incorrect for a mountain pack.

This pack has been thru mud, dirt, dropped off a canyon wall, ran over by my jeep on safari run! soaked in water as well! it's hard- core and it's been taking a hell of a beating. Any other pack would have been destroyed and I will post a before after photo!

I borrowed my friends pack for an overnighter in the Sierra, here ’s my thoughts. Modern buckles are really easy to operate with gloves on. Very comfortable suspension. Great for A frame ski( split board) carry. The crampon pocket was just large enough to carry ski and boot( soft boot strap on) crampons. On my skinny body I found the waist belt plenty small enough on the Med/Lg pack. The only thing I didn ’ t fancy was the snow tool pocket, as is the consensus on reviews of this pack. My shovel blade was a tight fit, no room for a three meter probe and no way fat skins would fit. I ’ m generously giving five stars, but will likely hold out on buying one because of the diminutive snow tool pocket.

Bought the AMG 55 in the hope of using for splitboard based winter hut trips and some winter camping. IT has the ability to carry both skis and or a solid snowboard. This bag is burly. Much more so than the more minimalist backpacks I have been employing in recent years that simply are not very functional in snow country. This bag is perfect for what I 've described. It's comfortable, the hip belt and shoulder straps are more cushioned than anything I 've put on my shoulders in a very long time and carrying weight very well.. But at 5 '' 8 '' 145 lbs I 'm basically just fitting in this pack in a size small. I would n't recommend it to persons much smaller than me with a 30 '' waist. My only other gripe is that the luxuriousness of the hip/shoulder padding makes this pack feel bulky when you remove the brain and cinch it down to utilize for a shorter tours with a minimal load. At that point your left with lots of straps flapping around. At least they are colorful;) All in all if you looking for durability, heavy load carrying ability, in a functional layout this pack will deliver for many years of abuse. It's built to last and should for the how much it cost.
