Mountain Hardwear

Snojo 20 Backpack

Whether you're headed into the backcountry or spending the day skiing groomers, the lift-friendly Mountain Hardwear Snojo 20 Backpack is bound to be your best friend. This slim, low-profile pack is made from tough-as-nails 600D polyester to resist snagging branches and rusty chairlifts, and ensure a long life. The unobstructed front panel zipper keeps things simple by delivering trouble-free access to the main compartment, which is divided into two storage areas: dry storage for your stash of extra layers and food; quick-access storage for your shovel, probe, and safety gear.

Eliminate thirst on the hill with the hydration sleeve in the main compartment. Its covered hose sleeve on the left shoulder strap keeps everything in place and reduces the chance of freezing. When it's a long, arduous bootpack you're enduring with a heavy load, the full-wrap compression system is glove-friendly and doubles as a carry system for skis (A-frame or diagonally) or snowboards (vertically). You don't want your pants pockets bogged down with unnecessary weight, so throw your extra pair of goggles, smartphone, wallet, and keys in the easy-access, fleece-lined zippered top pocket.
