"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This vest-style pack is a total game-changer for backcountry days. It sits snug, doesn’t bounce, and keeps everything—radio, probe, snacks—right where you need it. I love that it’s compact enough for lift laps but still fits a layer and avy gear. Add the Safeback system, and it’s next-level safety tech.""A nice alternative to the typical backpack, the Db Snow Pro Vest 8L lets us carry our essentials close to our body while distributing the weight evenly around our torso. Built for skiers and snowboarders, this vest-pack features plenty of pockets for our skins, snacks, gloves, and avalanche equipment. The Snow Pro Vest is compatible with the Safeback SBX System (not included) for additional avalanche safety. With a run time of 90 minutes, this system pumps clean air into the backpack and through outlet hoses on the shoulder straps to direct airflow to the face for up to 90 minutes."
