Backcountry Packs?

[bird21]

I am looking for a new pack for all the essentials-- shovel-probe-extra gear-etc. I ride out West alot and in the UP off trail as much as I can. I have a SOS pack that is just about dead so I was looking at the HMK or Fly packs, anyone have any input on those or any others. I feel naked riding without one, and even in the UP I still bring all the gear with, to dig out , extra gear etc.

Thanks for any input. Heading to Parkview in the morning, so if your up there look for 2 Summits one 08 yelllow and 07 red white black.

my brother has the fly pack, it is awesome, hydration bladder, tool pockets, shovel holder, it is really a nice pack. I just bought a burton zoom 28l, it is a photo back country pack, but it still has a shovel holder, probe holder, no bladder , tons of pockets and tons of room, also comes with a removable camera block!

I have a True Adventure Gear Storm Pack and love it. I think it has the most room out of all the "snowmobile" packs out there at 2600 cubic inches (HMK is 1300 ci). It is comfy and has versatile.
