Designed for the backcountry skier or snowboarder, the Arc'teryx Silo 30 Backpack is equipped to carry all the essentials for all-day out-of-bounds powder searches. An internal shovel and probe sleeve system provides quick and easy access in the event of an emergency, while the Wrap System board carrier offers solid holding power for extended step-kicking sessions. No matter what board you choose they're not the easiest thing to carry; but the combination of thermoformed shoulder straps, hip and back padding, plus a HDPE frame sheet and thoracic v-stays provide comfortable support that makes long climbs comfortable. For climbs that are rewarded with an untracked run at the end, the Arc'teryx Silo 30 Backpack includes two ice axe loops and Velcro axe keepers.
Extremely Well Constructed
This pack is bomb-proof! It's large enough to go light and fit water layers, snacks, and avalanche gear for a day in the back-country, yet small enough to ride the lift up to access back-country gates. The low profile hip-belt is also key for skiing and climbing! It's removable too!
love it
Only used a couple times but it worked great. Used for day hikes, it fit well I couldn't even tell I was wearing it
Exceeded expectations
I've gone through a lot of packs and I really like this one. Fits like a glove and you don't really feel it on your back....meaning it really becomes a part of you-which is important when snowboarding. I love the clean design which works for me in the snow. Zippers work effortlessly and I like how they have a longer grab point especially working with gloves on. The snowboard lock down straps really hold your board,it does not slide down and compresses the pack nicely. No bulk, just clean design, which is the best part. I use it for my photo equipment. I'm a photographer and I don't like photo packs on the mountain, but for on the mountain, I like mountaineering packs and this is perfect since I'm only into snowboarding. And another thing, it looks killer!
