Black Diamond Anarchist Avalung Pack (Large) $200 + shipping. Pack is brand new, still in original as shipped condition including the cellophane seal on the avalung mouthpiece. Due to some miscommunication I ended up with two last spring and never got around to returning the second one.

It is the 42L (2563 cu in).

A few other features:
Top loading with a pocket in the lid. The lid also has an stretchable piece of mesh that can be deployed to hold a helmet.

It is hydration compatible - the hose can be run through an insulated sleeve in the right shoulder strap.

Diagonal zipper on the left side of the pack for quick access to the main compartment.

Vertical zippered rear exterior pocket for shovel, probe, etc.

Plus all of the usual compression straps, ice axe loops, hip belt, yadda yadda yadda.

FYI BD packs always seem to run a little bigger then the stated size. I've owned both the slide and revelation packs and BOTH carry way more then comparable sized packs I've had from other companies.

I'm not sure why that is though
