Black Diamond

Dawn Patrol 15L Backpack

Great for Resort Skiing

This bag has a different layout from the 25 l and 32 l variations but it works really well. Rather than having two main compartments and the the front access it splits one large compartment into two zones. The pockets accommodate avalanche gear, a couple of other small items, and hydration. This is not your bring everything bag. The small and large sizes are quite different so check the measurements and make sure you get the right one for you. I love the way that this bag's cargo area is shallow and stays very close to your body. It is definitely a great bag for skiing or other activities where you are moving a lot and need the load to remain secure.

As described

Can’t wait until the lifts start turning to try it out.

Great pack

I had an old model of this pack and when I lost it I was devastated. I was very happy to get a new version of it. And it stands up to BD quality and design. It's amazing, clean access, the pockets are a great size. Perfect for lift served or light jaunts outside the gates.

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.
