I have owned a BCA, black diamond, and osprey ski touring backpack. None of them I like nearly as much as this pack. This Sanutil pack is the perfect combination of style and function. Looks amazing, I get compliments on it all the time. And the roll top allows for so much storage. A lot of thought and love has been put into this pack being perfect for those who like to go hard in the mountains. I have taken it ice climbing too, simply amazing. Made by a mountain person, for a mountain person.

Ordered this pack for my wife, but I steal it sometimes for myself, too. It's great. Looks killer, carries great (even though her pack is small for me), and seems plenty durable while still being pretty light. Adam is also great to work with.

I can’t lie. I haven’t owned many backcountry ski packs, but there are MANY pluses to this bag design that doesn’t compare to others.

First — the straps. I usually deal with collar bone pressure points especially with the bibs I wear — always making me want to readjust, tighten as much as possible but with these straps being less bulky & also 3 inches instead of the standard 2 inches makes them the comfiest I’ve ever worn.

Second — the side zip = LIFE. I didn’t think I’d like it as much (maybe too small of an entrance) but it works perfectly. I used to have a pack with the back entrance but started having zipper issues due to stuffing my pack with all the essentials. The side zip so far works flawlessly, doesn’t snag like my old pack and again is the perfect size to get to my snacks, water, and other items.

Third — top pocket access is clutch. When out ski guiding I like having easy access to sunscreen, my observation/avy book along with my scraper in case of skis icing up etc.

Forth — the roll top. I haven’t personally stuffed it to its max but will be soon, however it works well to compact it down for a day tour but stoked to see how much I can really squeeze in there.

Lastly, the straps for putting on skis to hike work just like the others and is essential for any mountaineering adventure you want to go on. Hyped to see how this pack holds up + a huge shout out to the Sanutil crew for making my orange dreams come true!

This pack is absolutely bomber and competes with any other lightweight ski pack on the market. The expandable roll top and side access make this pack super versatile from inbounds hike-to's to overnighters and big lines. Top it off with fun color options and supporting a rad local business and you have what I would consider the best ski pack on the market.

Could not be more stoked on the performance of the pack. Just spent the past few days on monarch pass really putting it to use. The pack performed great you can tell that it was made with quality and performance in mind by individuals who pursue outdoor adventure. I love how simple but effective the pack is. My favorite part is the side zipper that gives easy access to the main compartment, I prefer this style much more than a U or J style access zipper. Being able to over stuff and pack the bag is also so nice, my avi gear helmet and extra layer easily fits in the bag and has enough space for double the gear.

I love talking about the bag and using it great job Sam Util family!
