This is the minimalist, low-profile avy-tools pack for the front country and beyond. The minimalist Bandit has a low-volume, zippered main compartment with an interior shovel and probe organization compartment and hydration bladder sleeve plus just enough room left over for a wind shell, hat or extra gloves. Skis can be carried diagonally on the pack without blocking access to the insulated hydration sleeve or the exterior stash pocket where you can stow your keys, energy gels or cell phone. The Bandit is available with a cleanly integrated AvaLung, a crucial avalanche safety device for anyone traveling in the backcountry.
