In reply to UKC/UKH Gear: I have used this bag for trekking, Alpine climbing, instructing and guiding work and for every day cragging for 2 years now. Its brilliant.

In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:

Toby, any idea what it would be like for ski touring? - I've tried several options for a new sack in various shops but all seem to long for my short back but there's not many medium sized bags which adjust.

In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:

Yep, I replaced my old Grivel Alpine 42ltr that had seen 12 years sterling service with this, with the intention of getting one that suited my many leading days, plus a bit of recreational scrambling and climbing. Really like it for most of the reasons mentioned in the article.

My only niggle is that the buckles to the shoulder strap tensioners get caught under the lid straps when you open the lid fully and then replace it. Drives me mad.

Otherwise very good
