What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The Mission Pro 25L is my go-to for short tours and sidecountry laps. It's compact but has all the right pockets-shovel/probe sleeve, goggle stash, hydration compatibility-and the carry options are dialed whether I'm on skis or a board. It rides close and stable, even when I'm booting up steep terrain." When fresh lines call just beyond the resort ropes, we pack the DAKINE Mission Pro 25L Backpack for dialed support in compact form. Designed for fast-paced backcountry travel, this low-profile pack holds all the essentials without weighing us down. A dedicated pocket organizes shovel and probe storage, while the clamshell main compartment carries layers, skins, and snacks with room to spare. Vertical snowboard carry and diagonal ski/splitboard carry offer reliable transport options, while a fleece-lined goggle pocket, zippered side stash, and hydration-ready design keep things organized on the move. Compatible with the DK Impact Spine Protector (sold separately), the Mission Pro 25L is the perfect pack for through-the-gate missions and short tours in the alpine.
