A call to CAMP USA revealed why it has been hard to got one around here (the USA)--it has been discontinued. But wait! They said they are coming out with a new model in September 2013.

Have any of you folks had experience with how cleanly this pack works carrying a lightweight ski helmet? If so, how well does it go on and come off and how secure is it while it is on there? Thanks.

At any one time I have 5 rucksacks (rock, alpine, ski tour, general treck, running) and camp X3 is my favourite to date. Yeah the material is very thin but also reasonably durable. I bought it as I had it's also lightweight orange X4 ski touring/alpine predecessor which I still use even though falling apart now due to age and wear. Buy it. You will love it.

But in case it hasn't been mentioned, these packs are available directly from CAMP. They are currently having a sale on a heavier version of the X3 here ; http://www.camp-usa.com/products/packs/closeout/x3.asp I did not read all the comments.

I really like the idea of putting skis on my pack without removing it (because I am exceptionally lazy, and also because it seems somehow akin to that wonderful feeling of stripping/applying skins without removing skis) but I can never get my ghetto version to work quite right. Some of your other posts discuss this, but they mostly show the top connection. With the da kine style that has an extending cable at the bottom, does that cable actually bear any weight?
