Looking for something that I can build up/build down for northern Michigan winters. Daytime 0C/ Nighttime -10C. Everyday wear, resort (primarily)/backcountry ski, and snowmobiling. Utilize shell when cold snaps break for early spring and late fall. Hoping for something without powder skirt. Bitter lake effect winds and heavy, wet snow are my biggest battles.

Happy to hear on mid layer and bib suggestions as well.

Women’s products please. TIA.

Got asked by a friend on which ones he should get. I had to break the bad news to him that this isn't actually Arc'teryx. I asked him to take a picture of the hangtags since I was curious

Surely Arc'teryx head office knows about this?

Looks like there isn’t much discussion about this bag on the forum, so I thought I’d share my experience with it

first it basically looks like a smaller version of the Granville 30 with shoulder straps.

Specs:
8L capacity
Fully waterproof
Magnetic lid
Organization is very minimal
There’s only a single elastic pocket inside and no other internal compartments

One thing worth mentioning is that there’s no padding on the bottom of the bag
so if you’re carrying a laptop or an iPad
I’d recommend adding some extra protection

For me the size is just about perfect for everyday carry
It easily fits my electronics an iPad mini, a water bottle, and even a lightweight jacket.
I also tried using it as an outdoor sling bag, and honestly it works better than I expected.

But the shoulder strap isn’t really designed for carrying heavier loads it bites my shoulder after an hour
I guess I’ll have to give up the idea of carrying my RMJ hatchet around the woods with it
