Let’s begin this BD Cirque Ultra 25 with some basic facts, disclaimers, and a confessional. The Cirque Ultra 25 is what I’d call a touring vest with the functionality of a mid-volume touring pack for skiers—as far as I can tell, you’ll have to custom rig it to carry a splitboard. By vest, I mean…

BD calls this a pack, but it has Cirque 22 Ski Vest DNA—we’ll call the Cirque 25 UL a ski vest, too.

Seems like a pretty sweet pack.
It’s too bad the 35l doesn’t have the vest style pockets. And, one of my favorite things to keep on my shoulder straps is water, so rather than 2 zippered pockets, I’d prefer to have one zippered pocket and one bottle pocket.-
Hey Slim, I’ve been testing different softflasks in the zippered pockets. A 500ml Salomon flask (longer skinny) fits. My Nathan softflask (532ml/18 fl oz) is a bit shorter/wider, and fits perfectly. You can secure a Camp Action water bottle holder on the left shoulder strap, but it might be redundant since the stockier softflasks (not long and skinny) are an ideal fit.

No doubt a sexy pack. I’ve been looking for a touring pack with more shoulder strap features. I came across the Pingora Vivid line (27 and 35l I believe). Made out of heavier more traditional fabrics, with a nicer price point for me. Curious if anyone has experience with Pingora Vivid packs.
