The Best Ski Touring Backpacks: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Outdoors & Fitness
Arc'teryx Aerios 35
A well-made day-hiking and overnight pack that has no ski carry, no shovel pocket, and no back access, so it is the wrong tool for the skin track.
Why we skip it: Arc'teryx describes it for day hikes and overnights, and the page lists no ski carry.
