Just made a few quick edits to my Black Diamond Quantum review page.

I’ve now had the pleasure of using both 45 and 55-liter versions of the Quantum.

I like the extra volume of the 55, because it makes it easier to sneak your ski boots into the pack for those oh-so-brutal dry Eastern Sierra approaches.

So, no surprises here: I continue to love the Quantum. Of all the packs I’ve tried in the light-enough-to-ski-in but big-enough-to-carry-multiday-gear category, the Quantum really rises above the competition. I’m not willing to declare my quest for the perfect backpack over, but I’m certainly happy enough to give the Quantum my unqualified recommendation as a ski mountaineering pack suitable for overnights.
