Dawn Patrol 15L Backpack

Great Smaller Pack

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

M/L

Another solid BD pack, I have numerous of varying capacities. It's my minimal, lightweight pack for the resort, side-country and quicker tours. Doesn't feel like you're wearing a pack when on, don't notice it when riding a lift except when carrying a shovel. Only complaint is that I wish the hip belt was removable for times I don't want or need it clipped but that is solvable but clipping and cinching it on the other side of the pack. Overall meets my needs, glad I purchased.

Great!

My only complaint is on the front of the pack, the excess strapping is longer and wish there was a way to wrap it and conceal it. Not a big deal but when you're going down the meowtain you have what look like tassels flying around. I'm going to pick up some black rubbing bands and just tie them up.

Great pack

Got this pack for boarding and it works great. Adjustable straps and waist belt are very comfortable and keep the pack secure. It's a great minimalist size so you don't over pack and affect your weight distribution.

Great Backpack

Everything seems to be of very high quality and well thought out. I am excited to use it this season!

Good compact inbounds and sidebounds pack

I bought this to replace an older avylung pack of slightly larger volume and considerably more heft. Superb BD build quality and just enough space and organization for a shovel and probe to be kept separate from other gear. I would like the ability to entirely remove the waist belt for lift riding (sternum strap is sufficient to control the load), and a shoulder strap mounted drawstring pocket for a small (8oz) waterbottle or two way radio, both of which I regularly use for resort skinning and riding

Perfect small pack.

I bought this pack for those times I just need to carry a few things and didn't want anything bigger. For that purpose the pack is perfect. With the small size and it's fit I don't even notice I'm carrying it. Looking forward to this being my go to pack to carry a few extra clothes and some snacks on winter adventures.

Dawn pack

Great fitting pack, a great size and fit for any snow or hiking adventure. Love all the pockets and other conveniences along with it. Very durable.

Great pack!

This thing holds way more than I expected and fits nice and tight to my body. I'm 5'11" and the waist strap is I a great spot with the m/L

Solid pack to resort days

I use this when I want to have avy tools at the resort. Also fits some food, water, and extra clothes. It's easy to get on and off, at the lift.

Bigger than it looks

Okay, this is a small pack, but I can fit the standard safety gear, a liter water bottle, snacks, goggles, shell, midlayer, and small miscellany in it, with helmet on back. The pocket on the left shoulder strap is a little awkward (large and floppy), would be cool if the zipper went in a way that my radio cable and unit could fit in the main compartment without disconnecting it.
