The Gara Aero pack from Ski Trab is uniquely designed skimo pack that has an integrated hydration system. If you prefer to drink water from bags, you will want to check out this pack's included two liter sleeve with a hose that slides neatly through the insulated left shoulder strap to a bite valve with a shut off switch. It has a dedicated internal compartment and is securely fastened at the top of the inside of the pack so your life blood is always flowing downhill. Also included are the checklist features of a modern ski mountaineering pack:
- Integrated ski carry system can be used without taking off your pack, with velcro to stop the strap from dangling when not in use.
- Side access crampon pocket with zipper gives you quick-yet-secure access to your crampons, jacket, or backup watter bottle.
- Two top access zips help you keep avalanche gear and other items organized.
- Comes with a wide-mouthed hydration bladder (144g) in its own compartment and a hose that runs through the shoulder strap.
- Ice axe holder consists of a loop of static cord on bottom and elastic cord on top with an adjustable buckle to fit any length axe.
- Upper elastic cord can also be used to carry skis diagonally if that's what floats your boat.
- Bonus zipped side access pocket on the left has a mesh expansion system that can hold skins or a big sandwich.
- Plastic sheathing lines the lower ski carry loop to keep it open wide and quickly accept skis with tails up to around 130mm.
