had high hopes for this pack, but man what a let down. xpress system does not work. it is similar to a Dakine diagonal carry system with a few key differences. you cannot tell from the picture but the loop for the tails to go through is attached to the hip belt rather than the pack itself...HORRIBLE design. this puts the weight of the skis on your left hip, making the pack extremely off-balance and useless for its intended purpose. the tips of the skis attach to a metal hook on a lanyard that is attached to the right shoulder strap. when in use, the skis nearly pull the shoulder strap off forcing you to tighten everything down to the point of discomfort, even then the skis do not feel secure and shift position with every movement you make resulting in a more horizontal carry than diagonal. also, this system is billed as one that allows attachment and removal of the skis w/o taking off the pack. i found this to be near impossible with an empty pack and no where near realistic with anything in the pack. bottom line: save your money for a proven, effective system.
