The Outer Limits Pack by Patagonia is stout - light and large enough for a hut-to-hut tour or camping overnight in the backcountry. And it will portage your board or skis in either an A-frame or cross-carry configuration. For extra protection against metal edges - we use doubleweave ShiftLayer nylon - (see sidebar) of the heavier-duty - more abrasion-resistant weight found on our wheelies. The snow-shedding - stretch-woven molded-foam shoulder straps have anatomic 3D contouring and hidden tubes for the hydration pocket. The split waistbelt distributes the load evenly over hips. A zippered in.toolbox compartment in. stows a shovel blade and handle. The removable foam pad may be used as a bivy seat. Size: Regular Volume: 1 -500 cu.
