Sledding pack

[Greg5658]

Where do you guys buy your backpacks? I'm looking for a good pack with shovel and probe but not airbag. I live over in peopletoba so online preferably as there's a lack of mountain sledding suppliers in the area. Also recommendations on brand etc. Thanks

Look in classifieds on here or kijiji or there's lots of buy/sell groups on Facebook. If you are interested in good used stuff. Otherwise any sled shop in Alberta or BC has backpacks.

I bought this one years ago. Probably around 2006 or 2007.
Still in really great shape. I really like it.
It's big tho. Holds a lot of stuff. So it can become heavy.

I upgraded to a Avy bag for this year. And keeping this one for trails around home.

But I would recommend something like this for flat land riding.

^^^^ those are a great pack I still have 2 of them use for hunting and spent a month in costa rica with it

Does it come with shovel and probe or do you buy that separately? Sort of new to buying mountain gear. Around here I just bungee a pos folding shovel I bought at Costco to my tunnel.

Buy separately.

HMK makes a nice pack, non avy style. It has the shovel and prob holder built into the pack. Very nice pack and well design.

Canadian Tire now sells them aswell.

I use an avy bag now but prior to purchasing that I used a Klim Nac Pac backpack and really liked it.

Another vote for the HMK non avy pack, it's what I use when stubble jumping and ice fishing in the flatlands. Picked mine up at Prairie Recreation in Prince Albert. I dont think they have online shopping but I know you can call in and have it shipped.

Both HMK and BCA shovels fit in the HMK bag, however the HMK shovel handle does not fit in a BCA pack, so I had to buy another shovel. FYI

I use this one ...BCA Throttle 25. Separate compartment for shovel & probe, lots of room for other items.

I see the new version includes an outside mount for your shovel

I used the klim pack for a few years, found it to be fairly good.
