Anybody http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Agent-with-Avalung-Winter-Pack-1098-1220cu-in/BLD0475M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139445#question_139445 Black Diamond Agent with Avalung Winter Pack - 1098-1220cu in Seems like I could go either way WRT size: s/m or m/l. Anybody out there actually had a chance to try both on? I'm 5'10, 180#, currently wear a dakine heli pro pack, though I NEVER pack the thing full, and I am just wondering whether the m/l will be necessary. Another factor is that I will be frequently carrying a BD shovel & avy gear with this pack when touring, and if it's a pain to cram the shovel + avy gear in the s/m, I'd just go with the m/l....Lastly, if I am wearing this pack & hiking in bounds, I'll be carrying Armada JJs or Dynastar Huge Troubles on the pack. I assume the pack can handle skis this size, but will that factor into the s/m vs. m/l question? Thanks for the thoughts. question_139445 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:39:00 GMT I am looking for a pack that I can use on my hike in.

After viewing the video posted above, I think that this pack may address my needs as related to an outdoor photographer. I am wondering if anyone could comment on the use of this pack to haul a 3-5 pound tripod on the back (like the shovel in the video), and also be able to carry my DLSR camera body, and two or three lenses, plus my snacks, first aid, etc... Most camera packs are not intended for backcountry use, including my current Tamrac, which has fabulous features, but not rugged enough and lacks moderate protection from the elements. I greatly appreciate your opinions and observations regarding the ability of this pack to cross-over for a photographer !! ~ jeff question_134696 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:10:26 GMT any splitboarders with this pack? how do you strap on your poles http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/DAK0768/DAKINE-Pro-2-Backpack-1600cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134695#question_134695 DAKINE Pro 2 Backpack - 1600cu in any splitboarders with this pack? how do you strap on your poles for the ride down? question_134695 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:59:30 GMT how does this bag carry the board? horizontally or vertically http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Ortovox-Free-Rider-26-Plus-Pack-1587cu-in/ORT0048M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134329#question_134329 Ortovox Free Rider 26 Plus Pack - 1587cu in how does this bag carry the board? horizontally or vertically and is there the capability of a shovel compartment question_134329 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:07:03 GMT I have this pack, I'm just not sure on how to attach the http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/DAKINE-Pro-2-Backpack-1600cu-in/DAK0573M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134153#question_134153 DAKINE Pro 2 Backpack - 1600cu in I have this pack, I'm just not sure on how to attach the shovel to it.
