Looking for a new alpine / winter rucksack. I have narrowed it down to either the Exped Black Ice or the Mountain Pro (both 30L).

I think I prefer the look and features of the Black Ice, but its not compatible with a hydration bladder which the Mountain Pro is and that would be beneficial for summer alpine. 

I am really stuck between which one. Any recommendations or feedback from people who have used either / both?

I've got the mountain pro 40, basically the same, and I like it a lot. It's quite old fashioned with the lid design but I like it and used it a lot for various things - climbing, ice climbing, Glastonbury... you might find the 30 is a bit on the small side btw. I've never seen one in the flesh, hard to know.

I'd have a glance at the Verglas as well. It's a bit more technical. I have the verglas 30. Which is definitely on the small side, feels more like a 25l.
