Scott Backcountry Guide AP 30 Kit
We’ve spent a good deal of time in Scott’s Backcountry Guide AP 30 airbag pack, and so far, we’re impressed. Check out our review.
Backpacks
Mystery Ranch Saddle Peak Pack
The Mystery Ranch Saddle Peak backpack does an excellent job of balancing the needs of a ski pack, and offers a few features we haven’t seen on any similar packs.
Evoc Trail Builder Pack
Trails need maintenance, and that requires a lot of gear. Evoc’s Trail Builder pack makes carrying all that gear a lot more comfortable, and it still rides well when loaded down.
Patagonia Black Hole 32L Backpack
With a water resistant, durable fabric and an easy-access design, Patagonia’s Black Hole 32L Backpack is a great option for an everyday daypack.
Dakine Drafter 14L Pack
The Dakine Drafter 14L is a breathable and comfortable solution for carrying gear on long bike rides (especially for riders who don’t generally like wearing a pack).
Patagonia Descensionist 40L Pack
Based on Patagonia’s mountaineering-oriented Ascensionist packs, the new Descensionist 40L features a similarly minimalist profile, some ski-specific features, and plenty of capacity in a lightweight package.
Seagull Commuter Sling
After over a year and a half of daily use, the Seagull Commuter Sling has proven to be one of our favorite messenger bags.
Patagonia Refugio 28L Backpack
The newly redesigned Patagonia Refugio is a well-built daypack with plenty of features that make it great for daily use, yet it isn’t out of place on the trail, either.
Osprey Aether AG 60 Backpack
Osprey’s revamped Aether is a versatile pack that offers solutions to some of the most common backpacking issues.
Patagonia Ascensionist 35 Pack
The Patagonia Ascensionist 35 is an excellent – though specialized – mountaineering pack.
Mystery Ranch Pitch 40 Backpack
The Mystery Ranch Pitch 40 is one of the most durable, comfortable climbing packs we’ve used, but that comes with a sacrifice in versatility.
Stone Glacier Cirque 6200 Internal Frame Pack
The Stone Glacier Cirque 6200 is the best lightweight, big-load-hauling backpack we’ve used.
Thule Versant 60L Backpack
The Thule Versant 60L is a mid-sized pack with a simple pocket layout and some useful features, though we’d love to see a couple of minor changes.
Black Diamond Mission 75 Pack
The Black Diamond Mission 75 is a lightweight, versatile, big load hauler that climbs very well.
Dakine Low Rider 5L
The Dakine Low Rider 5L provides some compelling reasons to ditch your traditional hydration pack for a hip belt.
ACRE Hauser 14L Hydration Pack
The ACRE Hauser 14L hydration pack places a premium on weatherproofing and carrying capacity.
Thule Upslope 35L Backpack
The Thule Upslope 35L is the best pack we’ve used at this size for both ski touring and ski photography.
Hyperlite Mountain Gear Dyneema Ice Pack 3400
The HMG Ice Pack 3400 is one of the best light but durable packs we’ve tested.
Mammut Spindrift Guide Pack
The Mammut Spindrift Guide has the volume and features necessary to haul a lot of gear, but is still versatile enough for everyday use.
