A smaller pack for the slackcountry, the Flake has the key specs of larger packs like an insulated hydration sleeve, A-frame and diagonal ski-carry straps, a wide hip belt, and a compact ice axe loop. The clamshell design opens easily to probe-and-shovel sleeves, though with just 18 liters for storage, it ain’t going up Everest.
