Pingora

This pack is everything you are looking for for a daytrip in the backcountry. Plenty of storage, hidden compartments, and quite comfortable to wear. I am 5'6" and order a size small which works perfectly. The only concern is that the lower straps may be too short/narrow for an A Frame carry of skis that are wider than 106mm underfoot.

This bag is incredible for ski touring and ski patrolling/rescue. I bought this pack because of the oversize avalanche tool pockets. This remains my favorite part of this backpack. I can so very easily access my tools and have no issues getting them in and out like my last pack. I love that there is enough room for a 2nd probe and for my snow saw. The 35L is perfect for my needs. The roll-top allows me to pack all of my items easily with out shoving stuff in. The straps on the sides pack down extremely well if you do not need all 35L. The trail running vest style pockets on the shoulder straps is very neat and can be used in so many different creative ways. Same with the hip belt pockets. However, one small thing i have dealt with is the zipper on one of the hip belt pockets feels loose and creeps open once in awhile. Other than that, I have been highly recommending this backpack to my ski patrol team and excited to see where this pack evolves too.

Great pack. I was nervous it wouldn’t fit my black crow artis birdies (105 mm under foot) when I’m boot packing, but it worked awesome. Took it the next day to my beer league ski race and it also fit all my gear (as long as you’re cool slinging your boots over the back of your pack) which I’ve always done away. Great day bag. Absolutely love the colors. Oh I will say for all my big chested girlies the chest strap was quite tight on me while hiking 😅 even when extended to the fullest; so if you’re bigger than DD this may not be the pack for you. Otherwise get this pack it’s sweet. 🤙

Great pack, I like the how the waist belt is attached closer to center of the back.

The Vivid 27 is perfect for my backcountry ski day trips.Its well made and a great design

love the space and organisation features. fits everything i need for backcountry travel, ski patrol, and rescue equipment.

I’ve searched for a replacement messenger bag for at least 3 years. After a dozen tries I found this one and I love it. It’s the perfect size and weight for daily and weekly travel use. It fits under an airplane seat with legroom to spare. The logo is bigger than I prefer but not enough to affect my opinion of this design. Well done!

overall a great ski pack. avy gear packs nicely and plenty of room for long day trips. would go with the 32 L if you need to carry more , but good enough for 6 hours of touring for sure. Only thing, no specific way to carry water, but I just put a soft sided flask in the avy compartment. I'm 5'9 175 and went with the medium. Large would have been ok as well, but fits nice.

I am going on a multi day hiking trip this summer and needed a larger day pack to carry rain gear, a warm fleece, and other essentials and my current day pack was too small. A friend had just purchased a Pingora Lucid 25L Hiking Backpack. I borrowed it and was easily able to load it with everything I would need to have with me on a daily basis. I am extremely happy w my new Lucid 25 l pack!!! I have taken it out twice now fully loaded and it is incredibly comfortable. I love all the outside storage area it has on the front of the shoulder straps, the sides of the pack, and on both sides of the hip belt. There is an internal compartment that is perfect for keys and which and will be perfect for travel documents. The adjustment for cinching the pack to the hip belt was definitely needed since I am 5'6" and 120lbs. I am so happy I bought this pack and am very happy with the price that I paid as well😀.

It's got everything I need for rigorous day hiking and shopping. I'm a pro level hiker/guide. This is the only pack i found with all these features. Price is great.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Great!!! Nicely built

Super impressed with the quality of this pack. This is my first Pingora pack so I have no previous experience. But the stitching, and material quality is top notch. Only played in the backyard so far, but very happy with purchase. Ill grab the larger one too for longer trips. Great job Pingora.
