 Poster: A snowHead

|
I am thinking of purchasing the Scott BC Guide 30L airbag backpack and wondering if any owners can share are any long term ownership reviews of the pack? I am keen to know what it is like to live with in areas such as general use, practicality, bulk, packability and durability. I will mostly use as a day pack for lift-served or boot packing off-piste skiing - carrying avalanche kit, water bladder and extra layers and perhaps skins. No flying issues as it will stay in France hence opting for gas instead of the electric version. I am 5'10" but with a slightly shorter than average torso.

I've been selling the Scott packs for 8 years and they have been excellent in every respect - which is why I've now dropped other brands and only sell the Scotts.
The only issue long term that I've seen is colour fading of the fabric but that happens with all outdoor fabric.
The 30L pack will be perfect for your requirements and will fit you fine.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@spyderjon, in the light of this thread, do you think Scott are going to have trouble over them using the term "Backcountry"? #backcountry.com are-evil-gits:

Didn’t Scott fill the role of trade mark bully boy against an indie ski mfr a few years back? Memory is a bit hazy...

Googled it - the ON3P Great Scott was renamed as the Cease and Desist thanks to Scott’s legal team
