Perfect for day trips in the backcountry - the Poacher 22L offers a low-profile fit and feel with enough space for your shovel, probe, skins, and a spare layer. This year, Dakine updated some of the features on this pack including a comfier backpanel and larger A-frame carry loops to accommodate wider boards or skis. On top of that, you get two-way radio compatibility as well as an insulated hydro sleeve to help keep things dialed when out of resort bounds.
DWR Coating - DWR (Durable Water Repellent) allows fabric to shed moisture and prevents saturation. DWR also helps repel oils and stains which can affect the fabric's breathability. Bags with a DWR finish are a must-have in snowy or wet conditions.
Waist Strap - Keeps your pack in place when you're moving, something you absolutely want on a pack that's going to be seeing any action.
Chest Strap - Assists with load distribution on your back.
External Snow Tool/Shovel Pocket - Dedicated area to conveniently carry your shovel and snow probes.
A-Frame Ski Carry - Allows you to carry your skis on both sides of your pack.
