Backcountry Access Stash Alp55 Backpack - 3356cu in description

Shoulder the Backcountry Access Stash ALP 55 Backpack and set out on a multiday alpine climb or overnight backcountry skiing trip. BCA's Stash hydration system runs the drinking hose through an insulated shoulder strap and down into the pack where it connects to a Nalgene bottle (not included). Outlast insulation inside the shoulder strap stores your body heat and releases it to warm the water when you're not movingyour water won't freeze on a long belay, or when you stop to dig a snow pit. A plastic frame sheet with aluminum stays comfortably supports the load while you're climbing up. BCA even gave the Stash Alp 55 Backpack a side zipper so you can see if your water is running low or pull out your belay jacket without unclipping the top pocket.

Bottom Line: Keep hydrated and moving fast on mountaineering trips or long tours with the BCA Stash Alp 55 Backpack.

This pack is awful. I would not buy this pack. I spent 2 days out in the backcountry in Utah skiing and this pack just does not hold up. If you are looking for an awesome pack check out the Black Diamond Anarchist. It is bomber proof.

At first this pack was great; light, lots of room, good storage, good hydration system, and comfy. Unfortunately after a year it is destroyed. All the cheapo zipper strings have come off (one ripped off the first day of use) and there are numerous holes in the light yet fragile material. Perhaps with a more gentle owner who also does not rock climb it would hold up better, but in my mind it is not a good value for what you pay (which is quite a lot).
