Best Backpacks
Arc’teryx Quintic 28
Carryology score
avg. reader score
HAVEN'T RATED
The Quintic 28 is about getting from bottom to top, then back to bottom, with your skis, board, or whatever snow toys you play with. This is a versatile daypack for backcountry pursuits. The bonus is that this pack also gives you great access, works well in travel, and can even do double duty as a regular day pack. Oh, and the 3D pattern work is epic. We love it.
the good
- Awesome shape and paneling
- Carry skis or board in multiple ways
- Really well resolved pockets
the not so good
- It's not an avalanche airbag pack
- No water-resistant zips
- Capacity not as flexible as some
