Splitboarder here. Overall, this is a great pack. All the main stuff needed is there from avy section to helmet stash to radio routing to the important and appreciated Osprey carry comfort & fit. However a couple things need improvement to make this into a highly recommendable pack for fellow splitboarders: (1) My biggest complaint: lower A-frame carry straps do not fit most split skis, so we are relegated to the vertical carry only which I, and many of us, do not prefer. So the lower straps needs more adjustability range to fit split skis. (2) The straps need more sewn gear attachment points. My radio clipped to the one attachment point ends up being nearly on top of the shoulder rather than in front/on my chest where it's more easily accessible. I end up fumbling around to find the radio and button. Perhaps slightly longer straps as well. (3) The hip belts could be a bit bigger, along with a wider/more substantial webbing belt and buckle. Pockets on both sides would be preferable, and can still keep the gear loop on one side along with a zippered pocket. (4) Side zipper access to main compartment. (5) Lastly as a bonus as icing on the cake, an external water bottle pocket and a little more padding on the back panel.
