We don't want to feel like we're weighed down with a multi-day trekking pack we're headed out for a dawn-patrol session. The Dakine Poacher RAS 26L Pack has plenty of room for all of our backcountry essentials while still being compact enough for light-and-fast tours. The load-limiting shoulder straps and padded hip belt allow the pack to fit close to our body without shifting around for smooth, streamlined riding. The back panel access main compartment has room for snacks, maps, layers, and more while allowing us to access our gear without unloading the entire pack. A separate front compartment houses our shovel and probe for quick access, just in case the worst happens. The Poacher RAS 26L Pack is also compatible with Mammut's Removable Airbag 3. 0 System (sold separately), which inflates in seconds to prevent us from getting buried in the event of an avalanche.
