Comments about Osprey Packs Switch 26 Backpack:

I ski mostly on marked backcountry nordic trails. This pack comfortably and conveniently carries everything I need for a day of skiing, including a minimal amount of survival gear. The one thing I would change is the design of the hydration pocket, which makes it more difficult than it should be to arrange your gear in the space around it. The pocket should have been sewn to the backpanel rather than being attached to the partition between the front and back.
