[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent Pack! I purchased this pack for extended, 3-8 day, ski touring trips and so far it gets the job done. The external pockets are able to handle avi/snow gear, while everything else stays dry in the main compartment. In the past I've tried to cram everything I need into a Kamber 42, but it just winds up being too much weight for that pack to carry comfortably. The Exos handles the weight far more comfortably. The straps and back suspension are fantastic, no hot spots or chaffing. After my first trip, the only issue I had was accessing the hip pockets, the zippers just didn't want to close after opening them up. Once the pack was off and the hip belt was straight the zippers worked fine. Overall, I'm so happy I picked up a larger pack to handle the extra load. No more gear dangling off the outside of the pack, and more importantly, no more discomfort.
