The 25L is a tight fit once you pack everything for a day tour, I wouldn’t go any smaller. upNorth replied to the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 4 years, 3 months agoI picked up the Mammut Nirvana Pro 25 this season and so far I’m liking it.

Was that experience with the Freeride or Backcountry? If you ordered them in the US, can you recommend a retailer? upNorth started the topic Fitwell Sizing Help? in the forum Boots 4 years, 6 months agoI’m looking to order up a pair of the Fitwell Freeride boots but need some advice on the sizing. I have never ordered footwear in mondo sizing before and I want to make sure I get these in the right size.
