I have used this pack on at least 30 of Colorado 14ers. It is the perfect size whether it's 5 miles or 25 miles. Fits everything I need for a full day of adventure. It may not specifically be used for skis, snow shoes, or my dog but it has definitely held them all. I have used the pack so much the emblem on the pack has now worn off. Which is kinda sad. I wish they made patches so I could put it back on! Amazing pack I suggest it to everyone! Only brand of pack I buy.

I was worried that my 5 10 frame was going to be too tall for the women's version, but tall ladies have no fear the adjustable harness has more than enough length for our torsos. My main purposes for this bag were for day hikes near me and using it as a sturdy travel bag that I can use for hiking and sightseeing at my destination. My first real test of the travel component was my recent trip to Peru, and let me tell you it worked perfectly. It fit under the seat on the airplane fully packed, which is a huge plus. The shove it pocket was perfect for storing liquids in the TSA line and the slash pocket in top holds a passport and phone. besides all of the great features for travel it was so comfortable to wear. I brought this pack everywhere with, on bus, on 8hr walking tours, to the beach. My favorite thing about it though was that when it came time to do various hikes in peru, machu picchu, etc. it felt way better than many other "travel" packs. This pack is the pack that can do it all.

The Tempest 20 women's pack is the most adjustable and comfortable day pack I've ever put on. I was looking for a pack with a comfortable hip belt for long day hikes when I'm carrying water, food, and multiple layers of clothing for weather changes. On this pack, the torso is adjustable which makes it easy to ensure the hip belt sits in the right place. I was hiking for about 8 hours the day after I got this and unlike after carrying my old pack from a different company, my shoulders and back felt absolutely no soreness at the end of the day. I'm totally in love with it - it's lightweight unloaded, carries a lot, and rides light as air. It accommodates a bladder up to 3L, I was told, and I'll be considering getting one for hot/dry climate hikes. Highly recommend this pack!
