I want something to carry shovel, probe, etc. Not worried about carrying a million other things in it. I was looking at the Fly and the Orthovox (sp?). Maybe there's something better? Thanks.
Which backpack..?

just get a abs and be done with it.
Snowpulse, ABS, Ferrino air bags? Used a BCA Stash Rider pack for 2 years, great pack before the air bag for sure.
I'm getting an abs for myself but want this as a spare for whomever...

Dakine Chute bag for this season. Plenty big enough for all the gear and supplies. May even be able to carry some of the camera gear in there. Seems comfortable so far.
I was looking at these here... primarlily the orto, fly and especially the klim but from Snojunky's pics I wonder if the fly would hold things better than the Klim?? Wish I could see them in person..
Also, the shovel is a backcountry aluminum handle/flexon scoop with a sno-bunje probe. Are these good or would something else be better? Thanks to all.

Remember mine is sewn onto a flap with its own zipper. I wanted my cake and I was out to prove I could eat it too. What can I say I was hungry. ABS packs are junk but I wanted the airbag feature. They dont make a good sled sack. Mostly for a skier it seems. I sewed a zipper onto the ABS flap and then sewed a zipper onto the Klim. All I have to do is unzip the Klim and I can zip on the 15 pack.
Up until saturday I never lost a single item out of that Klim. I have rolled down the chutes,been thrown down same chutes, ejected after the safty brake mechanism failed(stationary objects) and then this saturday hit a tree at a pretty good clip. Sled was totaled but only lost my shovel handle out of the lower pocket. It was still in the upper velcro loop. I thought it held up rather well to the beating it has been thru. If ya want some more pics let me know.Rick

I use a Dakine Guide pack a little larger, but then I'm the old guy that carries all the emergency stuff for the group, plenty of room, easy access good fit.
Dakine
I rock a dakine heli pro 20L its small enough, but fits everything and doesn't weigh u down... i also have a bag on the back of the sled to put extra clothes and tools etc. I thought it looked kinda dorky at first but its so nice to have hardly any weight on your back...

The osprey stratos 24 is an amazing bag. I have a dakine and it is not that comfortable. The Osprey is the best. It is more of a daypack for hiking and all. but it will hold everything you need inside.
But I guess if you don't ride a Cat you probobly won't wear Arctic Cat gear.
You must know me from somewhere...
but thanks none the less.. I won't hold it against ya!

I'm really happy with my TAGear packs. The lightning carries everything you could want for a day ride and when you get froggy and want more room the Storm pack fills the bill great.
I can honestly say that I've never seen better made gear and the fit is spot on.
