Backcountry Access Stash Pack - 1150 cu in

Rating for this product: 4 March 25, 2005

I've only used the Stash for 3 days thus far...temps weren't too low but they were low enough that my buddy's camelbak was freezing.

The Stash never froze up once. Bite valve design works well and doesn't leak. Overall, the construction of the pack is thoughtful and detailed. I haven't found any evidence of poor construction yet. Hydration tube is easy to remove and stow in the strap with gloved hands. Pack is unobtrusive on the lift.

My only real complaint is that it feels like the main pack straps could be placed a bit better. I noticed that the strap with the hydration tube doesn't seem to fit flush on my shoulder; the inner edge of the strap is all that touches my shoulder/chest. If this were a heavier pack carrying more weight this might be a major problem but all I really carry around is an extra layer, cell phone, and energy bars so it barely matters.

I've looked at just about every hydration pack on the market for 2005 and this was the best I could find.
