Perfect backpack alternative for day missions

I'll be honest: Natural Selection made me buy this. Totally influenced by Travis and co, I decided that I need this backpack/vest/avalanche backpack hybrid and I don't regret it one bit! I wasn't sure about the size, but ML fits me perfectly - I usually wear size Large or XL snow jackets (XL mostly because of my long arms), and since this product should not fit baggy, ML worked well for my 179cm / 82kg stature.
So far I have tested the product without the avalanche airbag system, but with shovel, probe and beacon. It fulfilled all my expectations, sitting well on the body and not shifting around during riding. My idea was that I can wear this vest instead of a backpack when blasting through the resort sidecountry, without having to wear a backpack, but still carry all my avalanche gear with me. The compatibility with Mammut's R.A.S. is the cherry on top, this way I can be even safer, whithout having to carry a big avalanche backpack.
I would recommend this product to everyone who likes to add some freestyle maneuvers to their powder lines or all those who are annoyed by a backpack shifting while riding. Tons of pockets are perfect for everything you need to have access to, like snacks and snacks and some more snacks. It's also possible to add a back protector, making an additional protector underneath obsolete. Thanks Travis for influencing me!
