lacking in design
I expect a lot from Burton, they have done great things for snowboarding! So this new feature described as low-profile, sled ready, horizontal board carry is just two straps up the sides to hold the board right on your back. There is no fold down panel to put the board behind to protect your jacket from your edges. What a joke! This shows Burton is feeling the hard times, and cutting corners while trying to create new features. Not cool! I sent the pack back!
