Mile High Mountaineering Salute 34 pack -REVIEW

Mile High Mountaineering is one of the most innovative pack companies I know of. Their packs are well designed, look great and function well on the trail. In 2012 we here at Backcountry Skiing Canada reviewed the MHM PowderKeg 32 ski touring pack. We loved this pack and, consequently, it won our prestigious Gear of the Year Award.

The subject of today’s review, the Mile High Mountaineering Salute 34 pack, is designed with the same chassis and principles as the Mile High Mountaineering PowderKeg 32 ski touring pack. These principles include creating an innovative, feature rich pack with a clean exterior design. We’ve been eagerly waiting to get our hands on the Salute 34 and it proved to be every bit as great as we had hoped.

Did I mention the best feature of all? The Snake-Loader zipper. Read the rest of the review to see what this revolutionary feature is all about.
