Hello all,

I'm in the market for a really good bag for skiing. At the moment I'm using a osprey mutant 32. Although a dedicated winter pack that can just about carry skis, I'm after something more suitable.

It would have to be 25-35l in size, and lightweight. Suitable for day tours and the odd bit of climbing. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good pack? What do you use?

Thanks for your thoughts

Haglofs Rand 38 or 48.

Get the older model if you can find one, the new ones are no where near as good.

In reply to RichardAWatson: Mate, I've got a Black Diamond Alias, unused, for sale. It is a ski mountaineering pack that will work well for climbing too. Here's my ad for it.

Feel free to discuss it with me if you want.

In reply to nickinscottishmountains: What the link doesn't show is the extensive avalanche gear pouch - pretty much the entire back grey panel. You can stash all your metal gear in it, including crampons etc for winter climbing.

Its basically the mutant 32 but with dedicated ski straps and avv pouch.

Ive got a serious black diamond fettish so im tempted. Only bad thing is it wont be great for sidecountry stuff too. I think I might be asking to much from one bag...
