Just bought this bag and love it. I used to use the orange Black Diamond crampon bag and always found it hard to put crampons away in that small bag, especially when conditions are frigid and you don't have time to mess with such precise fit. The ToolBox is nice and spacious and I can EASILY put my spikes away and don't have to worry about them poking out through the holes (like the orange bag has) and ripping my other gear.

I debated between the Concourse bag and the cheaper Single Fall Line bag. The Concourse has internal straps to cinch down skis and poles, rather than external cinch straps, which I found to be a huge plus. I really like the full-lenthg padding too. My alpine skis are 169cm and my backcountry skis are 175's so I went with the 185cm bag. I also have extra room to stuff ski socks and base layers in too. Very happy with this bag!

For awhile I was using GoLite ski packs and finally got tired of the poor durability. I bought this pack and just tried it out on a bc ski trip. It took me awhile to figure out where all of the straps were (when the pack comes new, the straps are hidden). You have to pull out the diagonal ski strap from the bottom. Plenty of room for avy gear, extra clothes, crampons, food, etc. I am highly impressed. The only thing I'd like to have is an insulated water sleeve on the shoulder straps, but it's not a huge problem.

I have a normal-sized head and this hat fits perfect (I'm female). It fits to just below my ear-lobes. I really like the inside fleece-liner around forehead and ears so it doesn't itch. I also have room to wear a fleece headband underneath for extra cold days.

What a nice boot bag! Lots of extra room for hats, gloves, goggles (I put 2 pair in), etc. (not a helmet) after I put my boots in the bag.
