DAKINE

Pro II 26L Backpack - Women's - 1600cu in

Sometimes the best zones to shred are also the hardest to get to. Make sure you're ready for the long journey ahead with the Dakine Pro II Backpack. It's similar to the best-selling Heli Pro, but has a larger storage capacity so you can cram in more gear for longer excursions and is equipped with extra features like a deployable helmet carry. Plus, it has a contoured harness designed specifically to fit a woman's frame so you break trail in comfort.

The main compartment has a shovel blade sleeve and room for your probe, and loops on the exterior hold your shovel handle so your rescue tools are always easy to access. An insulated hydration pocket keeps your water from freezing, and a fleece-lined goggle pocket protects spare lenses from getting scratched. If you feel like bootpacking, you have the option of a vertical or horizontal snowboard carry straps, and retractable cables hold your skis if you're on two planks. A quick-draw ice axe sleeve allows quick access to your axe if you find yourself in a hairy situation, and an integrated rescue whistle on the sternum strap can help you if you really find yourself in a pinch.
