The winners:

CiloGear 30L WorkSack http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Mountaineering-Backpack-Rev... winner of the 2013 Editor's Choice award. This award is given to a product that excels at a specific application. According to Gear Review Editor Chris Simrell, "The WorkSack could possibly be perfection. It's big enough for day trips and car-to-car alpine climbing but could also work for for a few days if you travel ultralight. Because it is so durable it is great for technical rock climbing. It is also very comfortable."

The Hyperlite Mountain Gear 3400 Ice Pack http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Mountaineering-Backpack-Rev... wins the 2013 Top Pick award. As stated by Gear Editor Simrell, "This was our favorite for ice climbing and is very comfortable for multi-day hikes and ski touring. It has a unique attribute in that it is 100% waterproof. It's constructed from a material that is very light and strong and it features an abrasion resistant Cuban/Polyester hybrid fabric on the bottom for increased durability."

Black Diamond Speed 30 http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Mountaineering-Backpack-Reviews/Black-Diamond-Speed-30 is the winner of the 2013 Best Buy award. This award goes to a product that not only recieves high scores on our test but is also very reasonably priced. According to Simrell, "The Speed 30 is reasonably durable, well featured and sports a decent price. There might be lighter options available by competetors, but this one gives the most bang for the buck."
