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 2 years, 4 months ago I picked up the Mammut Nirvana Pro 25 this season and so far I’m liking it.

You can’t go wrong with the Osprey either, I have a Kode 38 that was my primary riding pack for the past 5-years but I wanted something new and smaller. I went with the Mammut mostly…[Read more] upNorth started the topic Eyewear – Googles, sunglasses or both? in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 7 months ago I typically carry both a pair of googles that I wear only when riding in addition to a pair of sunglasses that I wear while skinning/climbing.

These boots put every other pair of snowboard boots I have…[Read more] upNorth started the topic Lightweight/minimalist packs and opinions on A-frame carry only packs in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 8 months ago I have been using an Osprey Kode 38 pack for 5-6 years and am looking for a smaller, lighter, minimalist pack for day trips. I have been looking at packs from Hyperlite, I have their Daybreak pack for hiking and the quality is outstanding. I was considering one of their 2400 series packs for splitboarding, the issue is that they only offer it…[Read more] upNorth replied to the topic Fitwell Sizing Help? in the forum Boots 2 years, 8 months ago Thanks for the reply. 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 2 years, 8 months ago I’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.
