Features

Weather Tech

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.

Straps

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.

Details

RAS 3.0 Compatible - This backpack is fully compatible with the Mammut RAS 3.0 Removable Airbag System (sold separately) for proper avalanche safety. Don't forget to pair it with Mammut's Compressed Gas Cylinder (sold separately), as well.

This is just right

Excellent fit and adjustments for a close fitting backpack that won't shift and move around while riding. You can cinch the pack up tight. The vest part has great pockets that are both easily accessible and also secure with good zippers. Not too heavy but very sturdy. Even though the sides have an open design that can help with ventilation when it is zipped up tight to you it does restrict pit zip venting. But the design does attempt to allow pit venting and if you have it on loose like you do when hiking it's no problem. Really a good design as a pack for riding along with being able to add an avalanche airbag. It's just right.

Looks great, feels great. Now if only it would snow…

DAKINE Poacher RAS Vest / Backpack - black
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my sister since she’s really into snowboarding. Same day I ordered it, my mother, who is also a big snowboarder, had one come in the mail (so I panicked a bit, haha). Turns out she bought it for herself (whew).
When my sister opened it up, she was super excited. It fits great! I purchased the small and it fits her (5’ 2”) great when she has all her layers on. Only issue so far is that our local ski area has no snow. Fingers crossed for snow but so far I’m super happy with the vest!
(Also, don’t know if this would help for anyone else in terms of sizing but it fits me (M, 6’, 160) snugly with no layers on)
