Snowboard Luggage/Bags

Anyone have strong feelings on a small (~12-14L) sidecountry pack that holds avy gear and water + vertical board carry? My DK heli 20 is functionally fine & great size for a tour, but I don't need the extra room when we hike from the chair. Just thinking slim.

I'm looking at the oneball little wing 12, and Dakine poacher 14, maybe heli 12. Have looked at others & am most attracted to those.

I like vests a lot for this purpose. They're a lot more expensive, but keep stuff close to center of gravity and just ride better IMO.

Most easily accessible ones are the Volcom Guch and the Dakine one. I have a Whatvest I like (probably ~18-20L capacity?), @pow_hnd has the AK Dispatcher. I think Db came up with one with Sage?

I have a small Mystery Ranch pack but it only has diagonal ski carry which is a deal breaker. It is really comfy and has some great features but no board carry.

You can fit whole bottles of wine in the front pockets if that's your vibe too.

That is, in fact, my vibe.

Consider the Burton Dispatcher 18l if you can find it (I think Burton only has the 25l and 35l in the product line-up these days):

18l might sound big, but I think it runs very slim. I have the 25l and I actually wear it on resort days/on lifts sometimes because it fits so streamlined - similar or slimmer than the Heli Pro 20. Really like it a lot.

Whine is my kids vibe also.

Most of my coworkers too now that I think about it.
