 Poster: A snowHead

Hi can anyone recommend a good 40-42 litre ski pack which has separate shovel pocket, ski loops for both side-carrying and cross-carrying, hydration opening, strong back support, good webbing belt (ideally with small camera pocket). Either roll-top or zip is fine. Thanks.

That's big for a daysack and small for on overnighter I'd say.
Have you looked up Osprey packs on their site.

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

ClaraB, welcome to snowheads. Can't personally recommend anything in that size but facewest.co.uk have a reasonable selection and purchases made via the "right" links (i.e. that one there) will help support snowheads

It's to do 6 days on the Haute Route, hence need for larger than day pack. Thanks.

ClaraB, You need to try before you buy ! Rucksacks come in many shapes and sizes. You'll be carrying quite a weight on the Haute Route, and a poorly fitting sack will not add to your enjoyment, and may even cause you to have to abandon the attempt.

If you weren't set on a hydration opening I'd recommend the Marmot La Meije - really really excellent ski touring pack IMO. Capacity is only listed as 38l but it's so well designed that I could (if I wanted to) get in the same amount of stuff as I could in a 45l pack I used to have

Look into the Arc`teryx Silo 40, it is a good backpack, well designed and comfortable. A little expensive though, but quality.

Deuter Guide 45+, couple of litres more than your original spec but very popular bag. Simple design but with all the features required for long randonees; good ski carry system, twin ice-axe holders, seperate lower compartment for sleeping bag/wet kit/randonee rodent of choice etc. As ski, said ideally you should try before buy, it's important to get a pack with dimensions that are similar to that of your torso so that weight is evenly and correctly distributed.
