Description of Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack - 1343-1953cu in: |
Whether you're out enjoying yo-yo out-of-bounds laps at the ski resort or pre-work dawn patrols, there's a Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack for you. The Covert pack is available in a 22L size for times when all you need is your avie gear, and there's a 32L size for half-day backcountry tours. This versatile pack carries skis or a snowboard, and its dedicated avalanche-gear pocket provides fast access to your shovel and probe when the clock is ticking. Black Diamond gave the Covert Pack a Y-suspension frame that moves with your body so you can tear up the backcountry no matter what kind of sled you're riding.
Bottom Line: Grab the Black Diamond Covert Winter Pack, and escape the clutches of chairlifts.

| Great Day Skiing pack for the BC 02-03-09 |
Andrew McLean (32):  |
| Im very particular about my backcountry skiing packs as they have such a big impact on a day of skiing. If they dont fit, have straps in the wrong place, or have features that dont work, you end up dealing with it multiple times per day which adds up to an annoying experience.
But not so with the BD Covert pack. I switched to it this season (from a Switchback pack and before that an Attack Pack) and have been very happy with it for days tours. I got the smallest size (22 liters) as I dont carry much on day tours, and with a small pack, you dont really have the option! It fits a good size shovel blade (G3 AviTech) and has a nice selection of holders for your shovel handle and probe. It also allows many ski carrying options, including my favorite, strapping them to the side.
The Covert comes with all sorts of extra straps which can easily be removed by unclipping them, which I do as I like a nice clean profile for skiing through trees or just keeping the dingle-factor at bay. I tried the AvaLung version of this pack a few years ago and didnt like it as the AvaLung mechanism took up too much room in the small sized pack, which meant I had to upsize to the larger pack to carry the same amount of stuff, which meant the pack was no longer as light and trim. Your mileage may vary.
On the negative side, once you put a shovel blade in the back pocket, it compresses the inside goggle pocket to the point where it is almost uselessly hard to get into, so I carry nothing in there. The hydration tube holder doesnt really keep water from freezing, so it is a bit of a moot feature.
But overall, this is my favorite backpack for day tours around the Wasatch. |

| Great pack for backcountry ski touring 12-10-07 |
Blade (1):  |
| I love sking in the backcountry where I am on the ski patrol. This area is very avalanche prone and all patrollers carry tranceivers, probes and shovels at all times. This pack makes getting to the avi gear super simple and fast. I also like the full zip insulated pack strap for routing the hydration tube, but wish that the end was a bit larger to hold higher end hydration mouthpieces.
This pack is my patrol pack containing my aid supplies, water, avi gear, food and seat harness/carabiner gear for extraction work. It will just carry all that stuff with careful packing, but I did not want a larger pack, this is big enough.
The interior storage for avi gear keeps the shovel and probe from snagging on tree branches when in tight situations.
All-in-all, this is a great back for working or recreational backcountry day trips. |
