great pack I love this pack and have been using it for almost a year now. I used it this winter and the rear access dry compartment holds a lot of stuff. At first I was concerned about the load lifter straps holding most of the weight but I have really overloaded this pack and it has held everything really well. I also use it when I am traveling and it holds about two days worth of clothes as well as an additional pair of shoes. The avy pocket in the front is very well organized and has no problem holding a BD shovel and BCA probe. I really like the ski straps on the side because they seem very durable and havent shown any wear. If you are considering this pack...GO FOR IT All in all I like this pack so much that I bought the Kode 22 to take to work everyday! BTW, I am 6 ft 3 in and 200 pounds and the large fits perfectly.

Great Snowboarding Pack I recently purchased this pack for sidecountry/ backcountry, day long, snowboarding trips in Colorado. So far, it's been excellent. I'm 6'1, almost 200 lb., and bought the Large and it fits perfectly. I mainly haul extra food and water and layers for my wife and I; the pack has more than enough space for everything I need. I've been able to fit two extra pairs of gloves, two rolled up fleeces and two rolled up base layers in the back, plus extra food without feeling like the back is too bulky to ride on the lifts. And that does seem to be the key - riding comfortably on the lifts. I do have to sit an an angle because the size of the pack, but we were using quad-lifts with four people without any difficulty. The pack sits well and all the weight feels centered once the straps are adjusted properly. For the most part, when I'm riding, it is fairly stable. It does shift a little, but this is to be expected when using any pack for snowboarding. I suspect that a skier wouldn't have any trouble at all. I did use snowboard carrier once. For what it is, I think it does a great job, but I don't think I would use it often. With the pack full of gear, food, water and the board strapped on, it's pretty heavy. The design of the pack is excellent. I can't recall how many times I was glad to have the zippers for the main section in the back. It is extremely easy and quick to set the pack down on the fly and access any of your gear without having to dig down to find it. Definitely convenient. The bite valve compartment is also great to have. It didn't get too cold last time (only lower 20's), but I didn't encounter any freezing issues with the water bladder or hose which I used in it. The integrated goggle bag is quite large and I was able to fit goggles, sunglasses and a camera in it without having to worry about them getting crushed in a fall. My only complaint is the straps. There are straps on this pack to adjust everything; so it fits perfectly. But they also hang down and sometimes get in the way, though never a danger (ie snagging on a chair lift). Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with it. It is built really well and will definitely last me for several seasons to come.

Osprey Kode = Great Pack I bought this pack for my boyfriend as a birthday gift and he loved it. He is 6 feet tall, weighs about 175, has medium broad shoulders, and the medium fit him perfectly. It has compartments and gear loops for everything. He especially loved the wet and dry compartments that keep your stuff separate. It also has an insulated hydration sleeve so that your water line doesn't freeze. The compartments on the waistbelt are pretty useful too so that you have easy access to essentials. He plans to use this for cat-skiing and out of bounds skiing and his snowboard fits well on it. Also Osprey has a great warranty in place where they will fix any of their backpacks, no matter when it was purchased. Overall, he loved this product and feels that it is very useful and the best ski pack he ever owned.
