Klim Krewpack

I am going to be using one of these from Klim this year.

3 large pockets, 2 smaller pockets for smaller items and a removable tool pouch with elastic loops to keep items in place.
It also has a hydration bladder if you want to use that also.

Ive been searching for the perfect pack for several years now. It seems that every pack I have tried has something that drive me crazy like when I shed a layer of clothes and have to cram it in or when I need to get something out have to completely empty the whole thing to get to it. I am going to try the Krew pack this year in hope that it solves my problems.

Really like my KLIM KNAC pack

No such thing. Goto a store and wear what you ride with. Try on as many as you can and have them load with some weight.
I have got about 8 different packs for different activities. Each one works for the sport.
Suggestions Dakine, Klim, HMK, Black Diamond, Osprey, Marmot, ABS, many others.

ABS pack aside, I really like my Dakine Helipro. Fits and rides nice for me. Good storage. Easy access to shovel and probe...

Dakine heli pro pack. Plenty of room, simple, not bulky, looks good, reasonable price. Almost guarantee you can get one on Craigslist from a ski bum who needs cash for probably less than 50 bucks! Haha

If you don't plan on riding with an airbag, then I highly recommend the KLIM Krew pack. The BCA Throttle pack is also a good choice.

Older dakine heli pro. Have yet to find anything that fits even close to this bag.

The Klim Krew pack is nice but it's really big. I just got a Nac Pack and will be giving that a try this year.

Another vote for Dakine....the Baker....a little smaller than the Heli as I prefer a smaller pack.

As others have mentioned its about personal preference and your budget....theres some great packs out there that have excellent options such as suspension systems, ABS and Avalung.
