Suggestions for Film Backpack

[jkauffman22]

Dear Media Department,

I am currently in the predicament of trying to find backpack that is big enough to hold my Large F-Stop ICU. I have another camera backpack that I like to use day-in and day-out but I would like another that is designated specifically for skiing, with waist straps and a strap across the chest. In addition to these features, I would like the bag to have enough room for skins etc, be able to hold skis or a tripod on the back, be somewhat waterproof, and also be able to pass airline carry-on limitations . I am wondering what you all use when you need to take your camera onto the mountain and ski with it. I have been looking into the Dakine Poacher Pack but I am unsure if this pack would be too big for airline travel. I really wish I could afford a F-Stop bag but they are out of my price range at this point in the market. Thank you very much for your advice!

P.S. - the reason I am considering spending more money on the Poacher Pack is because I found a good deal for it on Amazon.

I was thinking about doing the same exact thing: poacher + ICU of sorts

my medium pro icu fit well in my dakine blade

L icu and poacher seems like it would be a good fit

Any idea on how the poacher would be with airline travel?

Keep saving for an F-Stop bag. Seriously worth the cash.

I got a Tilopa and love it. I know you said they're out of your budget, but it's basically the bag your describing. I don't know how much more expensive a Tilopa is than the bag you mentioned in this thread, but all I can say is that it's definitely worth it getting one. The zipper of my old Tilopa broke and I got send a new bag no questions asked.

Yeah, I'm think I'm just gonna suck it up and get a Loka with 2 small pro ICU's.
