We used the day pack in glacier national park as well as Yellowstone. It was awesome and served us well. It had plenty of space for everything we needed. It was lightweight.
I decided to purchase a new ski jacket and I'm so glad I went with this one. I love the fit, all the pockets, everything. Highly recommend.
The backpack is light and should be good for a daytime skiing or hiking and time will tell how well it's made
Excellent quality, looks good, seems like it will be very warm (haven't tried it yet).
