I am surprised that Arcteryx could miss so badly. This pack is way too short and it sits very high on the back. The straps are also too close so the pack does not hug the back properly. The roll closure with the zippers is a neat idea, but the extra hardwear kind of gets in the way and the roll closure does not work as well as it used to work on the older RT series packs. Overall, a step backwards for Arcteryx.

I really like the 26L, but this one misses the boat completely (I was hoping to downsize a bit). It lacks the two main features that made 26L great: the stretch helmet pocket and the backpanel access. The helmet pocket on this pack is too small, no way a helmet will fit in it; on the 26L model the pocket is larger and it is made from a stretchy material. Backpanel access is essential for a ski pack- that way you can dump it in the snow with the skis on and get your stuff out. There is no way you can get your stuff out from the 16L version. Major disappointment.
