looking for a not too small not too large ski backpack to carry a dslr and an extra layer or something, it does not need to be big. feel free to drop opinions reviews and what you could be selling

I just got a Saga Fatigue Pack and love it. Its a regular backpack but has a giant ass pouch, bigger than any bag I've seen that isn't the size of a hockey bag and it has a bunch of small pockets for extra stuff. Ive also heard the Line street pack is a great choice as well

Are you looking for a regular bag or a camera specific bag with extra room? I'd recommend you look at dakine, mountain smith, or f-stop although some of their bags are pretty damn pricey.

If price is a concern buy a cheap walmart school bag, waterproof it and line it with a roll of foam.

Dakine mission's are sick I have two of them and they fit really well, not too bulky but have a lot of room. My brother has a heli and those are sweet too

The Dakine Heli Pro or Dakine Mission Photo are both good packs from what I've heard.

I have Ospreys and Dakin bags. Ospreys are way better. The kode series is amazing. If you can get that, do it. If not dakines are still pretty good.

The Line pack will probably be better as it will hold equipment better. The saga pack has one giant ass pouch and about 5-6 small zipper slots. Check out the Line Pack, I don't think the saga will be what you are looking for

QFT. I have used my Kode 22 almost every day for the last three seasons and it still looks brand new.

Dakine packs are ok if you have never experienced an actual pack.
Osprey, Gregory, Arcteryx, Mammut for the non custom offerings are all way better designs.

I've got a Black Diamond Covert pack and I love it. Relatively minimalistic, but has everything I need.

Dakine Heli Pro. I have a few hundred days with mine, it's held up great. Very comfortable. Makes a good cycling/hiking pack too.
