Alpinismo 55 Backpack by High Peak USA Review

Product Rating: 
4

Features:

From High Peak USA, "The Alpinismo 55 is so versatile. This 3 lbs, 5 oz., single compartment backpack is made for the multi-use trekker. It has daisy chains to attach gear to and an outside envelope for ropes or crampons. Is the 55 liter capacity too much this trip? The side compression straps wrap around the front to the opposite side of the pack so you can minimize your gear load and still keep everything securely in place."

2013 Polaris 800 Switchback Assault 144 Snowmobile Review

Product Rating: 
5

Features:

From Polaris, "The weapon of choice for backcountry freeriders and hillclimb racers is back and better for 2013. The Switchback Assault can run the logging roads or head for the trees. Deep snow flotation with trail gearing and the race-proven IFS for lighter steering effort."
