We here at KMC recently had the good fortune of getting an advanced sample of the new Quintic 28 backcountry ski/snowboard pack from Arc’teryx. While we plan on running this little beauty through its paces this winter, we wanted to give you a quick look at the amazing structure and organization of this great touring pack. The Quintic will be available in a 28 ($199) and a 38 ($249) in Fall 2012. Check back with Arc’teryx for more information when the pack becomes available for mass consumption in a few months.
