Venturing into backcountry ski trails or hitting your favorite mountain slopes on your snowboard, we've got the snow backpacks you need to take on winter's worst.
Black-diamond-ready ski and snowboard backpacks
Skiers and snowboarders alike: these are your packs! Each of these snowboard and ski backpacks is made with powderhounds in mind. The outer slings for diagonal ski carry and secure snowboard carry aren't all. Keep your helmet on hand with integrated helmet carry. The exterior is water resistant, to protect your gear from snow spray as you go. The main compartment offers plenty of room for carrying safety gear like an avalanche airbag pack and a first aid kit alongside your must-haves like water. Plus, back panel access means you can get at your gear with ease on the slopes. Pull on your snowsports gear and get ready to shred some powder.
Men's and women's camping snow backpacks
Backcountry access doesn't stop on the slopes. Do a minimalist overnight trip with a 20L backpack and your cold-weather sleeping bag or stock up for a few nights out with a larger 45L pack. The unisex looks are great for campers of all kinds, with plenty of high-visibility colors that are perfect for the trails. Stash everything you need for the hike out to your campsite. Hipbelt pockets offer quick access to onhand essentials like a compass or map while sturdy nylon webbing supports your carry and offers a place to hang extra pouches for gear. Keep your ice axe on hand with a dedicated loop on either side of your pack. The main compartment safely stores your water bottle to stay hydrated on the go. Pull on your winter jacket and head out to your favorite winter campsite.
Versatile ski packs from The North Face
Far from being exclusive to snowsports, you can use our ski packs for all kinds of harsh-condition adventures. Hikers who like to go snowshoeing in the winter will love the space for trail snacks, spare clothes, and hydration packs. Use it as an ultralight daypack and venture from the ski lodge to explore a nearby town. When you've packed your snowboard bags away, you can even use your pack for a simple hike. Just trade your removable airbag for a map and an extra fleece jacket or vest and you're ready to go. Ripstop fabric keeps your bag whole on and off the slopes.
