ABS Vario 30 http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Avalanche-Airbag-Reviews/ABS-Vario-30 winner of the 2013 Editor's Choice award. According to Gear Editor Ian Nicholson, "The Vario 30's design was our overall favorite for backcountry utility. It's a do it all pack ready to excell on any day tour or excursion where a smaller pack is more ideal."

The North Face Patrol 24 ABS http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Avalanche-Airbag-Reviews/Th... winner of the 2013 Top Pick award. Gear Editor Nicholson reports, "This product won for combining the twin ABS airbag system with an awesome lightweight pack. It's our favorite airbag design. It's easy to use and designed very well. It also has some great features like a tuck away ski carrying system and a big safety gear pocket."

The Ortovox Tour 32 + 7 ABS Pack http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Avalanche-Airbag-Reviews/Or... also won the 2013 Top Pick award. Nicholson says,"The Tour 32 has great suspension and support. It has a ton of features and would be great for single or multi day tours. It's capacity can be increased by 7 liters, hence its name, by unzipping it."

Mammut Light Protection is also winner of the 2013 Top Pick award. Gear Editor Nicholson declares, "This is one of our favorites for multi day adventures. It's extremely light and has a very cool adjustable length back frame. The PAS airbag system we think is the second best system available."

Backcountry Access Float 32 wins the 2013 Best Buy award. This award is goes to the contender that recieves both a high test score balanced with a reasonable price. Gear Editor Nicholson explains,"It's light, excellently designed and has the biggest volume of all of the packs we tested. Its cool features like the best ski carrying system we tested and foggle pocket lined with fleece are awesome but the best part is that it costs on average a few hundred dollars less than its competition."
