Overview
Built for long days or multiday travel in the backcountry, the Descensionist Snow Pack easily handles larger loads while still moving fast. Intuitive organization and dedicated snow-safety pockets make essentials easy to reach, and the rugged exterior holds up to both storm days and unexpected branches. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Features
- Rugged, weather- and abrasion-resistant exterior fabric holds up to rowdy descents but is lightweight on the ascent
- Highly breathable harness and back panel keep you comfortable on long approaches
- Cinch closure is designed for quick access and to keep the elements out; a metal clip ensures a secure closure, carries a rope, or holds the top of cross-carried skis or a splitboard
- Snow-safety pocket with organization sleeves keeps tools at the ready; an ice axe can be carried on the outside or fits inside the pack
- Elongated zipper on one side provides quick access to the main body of the pack and allows access to supplies without fully taking off the pack
- Carry your equipment in a variety of ways: A-frame or cross-carry skis or a splitboard; use the removable straps to carry a solid board; attach a helmet to the outside with the removable helmet carrier
- Top pocket holds goggles or accessories, and hip-belt pockets keep tools or snacks easily accessible; made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
