Patagonia Snow Drifter Pack

At 30 liters, this pack is best suited for full-day tours or sidecountry missions. While it has enough room for essential safety gear and layers, you would likely need a larger volume pack for overnight camping trips.

The pack features dedicated attachment points for both skis and snowboards. It is designed to carry skis in an A-frame or diagonal configuration and snowboards vertically, keeping your setup stable during steep ascents.

Yes, it includes a separate, quick-access pocket specifically designed for your shovel, probe, and snow saw. This ensures your emergency equipment is organized and reachable without digging through your main gear.

The Snow Drifter features a back-panel access design, which allows you to reach your gear without having to unstrap the pack or lay the front panel in the snow. This is particularly helpful for keeping your back panel dry while accessing layers.

The pack is hydration-compatible with an internal sleeve and a routing port for a tube, but it does not come with a reservoir included. You will need to purchase a bladder separately.

The pack is constructed with high-denier, abrasion-resistant nylon designed to withstand the wear and tear of backcountry travel. It is built to handle contact with ski edges and rough terrain without compromising the integrity of the bag.
