Osprey Switch 40+5
Description of Osprey Packs Switch 40+5 - 2500 cu in :
When Osprey asked us what we wanted we told them this: “We want a pack that you can yo-yo with that carries your water and a shovel.” Osprey’s answer: The Aquasource. It detaches from the main pack via 4 buckles and slides out from the back panel. It has one big zipper that opens at the bite valve for gulps on the fly. A second zipper allows access to the inside of the pack which bellows out just enough to carry food or your skins. On the outside of the pack, a bungee cord straps down a shovel. Next we said, “We want a designated tools pocket for a shovel, skins, a probe and crampons.” Osprey’s answer: A separate snow safety gear compartment with slider lock-off that has organizers for a shovel, skins and a probe. Crampons fit there, too. “We want a pocket on the top of the pack to keep food where it won’t get smashed.” Osprey’s answer: A big shelf pocket on top that drops into the body of the pack to keep food in tact. Of course, we wanted backside panel entry into the main body cuz it’s the handiest, and Osprey obliged. The panel-loading main pack has enough space for extra layers. Other great features include a front slash pocket with key clip, safety equipment pocket on the hip belt, foam reinforced sidewall crescents to keep the pack rigid, stowable and adjustable diagonal ski carry loops, reinforced ski carry straps, abrasion patches under compression wings that guard against snowboard edges, and reinforced wear points for horizontal snowboard carry. Can you think of anything else? Neither can we.
Bottom Line: Go fast, go light, stay hydrated and get more turns. The Osprey Switch 40+ 5 was designed with exactly that in mind.
