Anybody have suggestions on backpacks for gear while skiing. I have a Burton Focus 30L backpack but it is huge. I need to find something lighter that I can take up into the mountains.

Looking for something similar but it has to be able to take a fall on the back. I really don't want to risk my gear on the slopes. Skiing laid back is not an option.

FStop makes the best stuff IMO, and have a big variety of bags and ICUs to fit anyones needs

personally I use the Ajna and swap between the large and small pro ICU depending on needs for the shoot

Its super basic but I actually really like my Amazon Basics DSLR backpack. Its just the right size for your body and some extra lenses and easy to pack. The interior pockets are well laid out too. I use it when I dont need my big Dakine one. The pack actually fits really well under airline seats so its good for travelling too.
