Osprey Packs: Switch 26 Daypack - Altrec.com Product Description:

Just the right size for a day of snow play, the Osprey Switch 26 daypack is ideal for in-bounds skiing, backcountry snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country ski touring, you name it. Available in three sizes to best match your torso length, this rucksack caters to the needs of everyone from the extreme terrain rider to casual alpine skier. The main compartment features separate pockets to keep wet snow safety gear away from spare clothing and food, while a mesh helmet pocket on the top lid provides a convenient location to store headgear. For steep climbing or long walks back to the car, StraightJacket compression straps double as a snowboard carrier, plus the Osprey Switch 26 daypack offers A-frame and diagonal ski carry straps too. The SnowShed backpanel keeps snow from accumulating on the backpanel, a nice feature for this pack because it has a unique backside entry to the main compartment. The top pocket also offers a goggle storage sleeve and the hipbelt has two pockets for quick access to snacks, lip balm, cell phone, and other necessities. And to keep pace with the latest outdoor innovations, the Osprey Switch 26 daypack has insulated tube routing through shoulder strap for cold weather use of your favorite hydration bladder. For a smaller version, be sure to review the Osprey Switch 16 daypack.

Perfect. Osprey got it right with this pack. I bought it for my brother who uses it on the mountain as well as on campus. It has all the features and then some that you need in the back country. He can't stop talking about it.

the ultimate pack! I bought the Osprey Switch 26 when it first came out. I use it all year, and it is my favorite pack (and I own several packs). It is an organizer's dream, and carries super comfortably. Whether rock scrambling, snowshoeing, or hiking, it fits like an extension of your body. Super durable, and stable. Just the right size, it cinches down tight for small loads, or you can extend it out to carry more stuff. It keeps your water cool in hotter weather, so it really is a four season pack!

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 2 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Great Ski Pack A full featured ski pack. Keeps your gear organized and secure. Comfortable fit. Light weight geeks should probably look somewhere else. Osprey make great packs, a bit over designed sometimes but every feature has a purpose.
