Okay, so i got the back pack a couple months ago. Its smaller, seems almost totally water resistant except for the straps that go over your shoulders. The weird part is how the skis are attached to the backpack. There are a series of 3 or 4 buckles that you undo and redo around the binding of the ski so that is does not move and rattle around. The zippers move kinda slowly, but that is because of the waterproofing, i believe. There is a cool little felt pocket for your goggles, that's nice. I actually broke one of the hip straps while trying to whack my friend with it. I feel like an idiot, but those things break kinda easily. I plan on replacing it. Anyways, it's a cool backpack. I have a green orage jacket and the matching pants, which are a forest green, so the backpack matches nicely. And to boot, i ride on supercharger boots, which makes me all green. Except for when i throw on my fujatives, in which case, my skis look cooler than i do. But whatever. The backpack is smaller than i expected when i saw the picture. Worth the buy if you got 40 bucks of disposable income. I don't know, but for 40 bucks, you get what you pair for.
