Osprey Karve 16 Backpacks

Forget dogs. The Osprey Karve 16 Sidecountry Pack will be your best friend while skiing or snowboarding. It has plenty of pockets to lug around not only the essentials, but all that useless crap you haul because you claim one day you'll need it, but you never do. The large cargo pocket holds the hydration sleeve, great for long excursions, as well as food, extra clothing, and gear. So fill 'er up; maybe today is the day you need that basketball air pump while snowboarding, who knows.Being back heavy can cause a lot of problems with your balance, as well as making you look like a turtle. That's not a good look for anyone, trust us. But this pack has quick release side compression straps to keep your over packed load tight and closer to your center of gravity. Maybe now you won't tip over backwards while setting up at the top of the slope. Although, that was pretty funny. We laughed at you. Sorry.
