Hey guys, looking to buy a ski pack and a back protector. Are there any small(ish) packs that come with a built-in protector?

Not a necessity, but if it is compatible with a hydration bladder thatd be tight too.

arva protector 22. Thing is extremely legit and super lightweight while holding 22L which is perfect for BC use.

So you dont have to buy a back protector and a pack. So you can toss the back protector and pack off whenever you want, without having to undress and remove the back protector layer you have on.

yeah that's the main reason. Although honestly unless you always strap it down extremely tight to where the pack won't even move, it barely does anything

yes exactly this is what i meant... its always going to move. i suppose its alright if you have a shovel etc in the pack, you dont want that digging into your back
