Crestone 60, Lowe Alpine Horizon 65 and Terra 60.<br />I will be using the pack for trekking in himalayan region during winter and summer. Which pack is more durable and what would be your first and second choice ?<br />Thanks in advance.<br />Cheers - Manzey question_141058 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:31:40 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Ruffwear-Web-Master-Dog-Harness/RUF0015M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140854#question_140854 Ruffwear Web Master Dog Harness<br /><br />Has anyone had a dog who used their Ruffwear Web Master Dog Harness in the water? Our 12 1/2 yr old Chessie has nerve and muscle degeneration in his rear legs, but he acts as though he is still in the prime of his life. We would love to find an all-in-one product that could go from land to water and allow us to give him the extra hand that he requires from time to time.<br />Is the fleece removable if it becomes soiled? Is there reason to believe that the harness would become severely water logged? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you. question_140854 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:38:42 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/The-North-Face-Crestone-60-Backpack-Womens-3350-3650cu-in/TNF3076M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140734#question_140734 The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - Women's - 3350-3650cu in<br /><br />I&#39;m backpacking through Europe in the summer for 2 months and someone suggested North Face as a good brand.

She likes to hike and plans on long adventures. She is about 5&#39; 6&quot; and weighs about 110 lbs. Do I need to buy a S or M?

Trying to decide between the Argon 70 and 85. I&#39;m thinking a medium will work but can I get the 70 in a L with a medium suspension to increase the capacity. Just not sure I need to go from 4300cu.in. to 5100. Wish they made an 80. Also what is the differences in the 70 and 85 other than the obviuos capacity. Is the suspension and the pocket configuration exactly the same. question_139936 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:40:55 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Granite-Gear-Nimbus-Latitude-KI-Backpack-Womens-3900cu-in/GRG0034M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139679#question_139679 Granite Gear Nimbus Latitude KI Backpack - Women's - 3900cu in<br /><br />I thought you were able to compare packs side by side on this website... am I just not finding the right button or did they stop doing that ? question_139679 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:10:50 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Granite-Gear-Nimbus-Meridian-Ki-Backpack-Womens-3400-3800cu-in/GRG0065M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139676#question_139676 Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian Ki Backpack - Women's - 3400-3800cu in<br /><br />What is the difference in measurement between the short and regular packs?

Does it work at all (leaning reservoir down a hill, against a tree, your pack, in the pack, etc.)? I just get tired holding the Omega Reservoir for the time it takes to filter 3L of water. question_139632 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:53:08 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/DAKINE-Sequence-Backpack-w-Camera-Block-2000cu-in/DAK0586M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139547#question_139547 DAKINE Sequence Backpack w/ Camera Block - 2000cu in<br /><br />How easy is it to get your camera out of the bag on the fly? Do you have to take the bag off and take out that inner bag or is there an easy access zipper?<br /><br />Also 2000cu seems rather large. Is there a smaller version for someone that might have 1 camera and maybe 1 additional lens and some ski gear? question_139547 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:13:49 GMT 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<br /><br />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&#39;m 5&#39;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 &amp; avy gear with this pack when touring, and if it&#39;s a pain to cram the shovel + avy gear in the s/m, I&#39;d just go with the m/l....Lastly, if I am wearing this pack &amp; hiking in bounds, I&#39;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 http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Ortovox-Peak-29-Pack-1770cu-in/ORT0024M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139374#question_139374 Ortovox Peak 29 Pack - 1770cu in<br /><br />I am looking for a pack that I can use on my hike in. I need to carry my ski boots and skis. My present pack only lasted 2 trips before the boot buckles and ski edges caused a hole.

Now I cannot figure out how to get it back on! The front 2 snap clips are obvious but in back I can only find two black buckles which are too tight to fit the straps through. Help!
