Brilliant backpack. Used this season but I need a bigger bag to carry my daughters ski boots 🙄
It’s a great bag, loads of different ways to attach ski’s and snowboards.
Front pocket has dedicated avalanche kit organisers and back opens up so you can access extra layers/lunch whilst skis are attached. The back protector is super comfy and the big waste strap hold it all close and stable.
The are no real signs of use apart from a small hole/snag in the bag. I’ve tried to point it out in a picture. This is a perfect day bag. All the straps neatly tuc away so no getting caught on chair lifts!
