This is my second Gregory pack for shorter 2-3 day excursions, especially in winter, for which the Targhee 45 is designed with ski and board straps. It works fine in summer, too. When I got it, I loaded it up with 60 lbs of weights and trotted up and down the steps at Red Rocks here in Colorado. It's a really wonderful feeling when you've found a great pack, like a great friend, which they are, like my Gregory Expedition that I've had for over 20 years. With the summer sales going, I got the Alpinisto 35 for my gf in crevasse blue. She's a bc girl and really likes it even for short day hikes. It's also a snowpack for 1-2 day excursions. Our Dynastar Cham 107's fit fine in the straps with tech bindings.
