Peace Of Mind
Avalanche danger is a real hazard of backcountry travel, but the Dakine Poacher RAS 36L Backpack gives you a potent tool to mitigate that risk. That’s because it’s compatible with Mammut’s Airbag System 3.0 (sold separately), which allows you to deploy a rapidly-expanding airbag with the pull of a cord, giving you extra floatation in an avalanche, which can reduce the likelihood of getting buried in a slide. The medium-large volume gives you capacity not only for your snow safety tools, but for additional layers and food for longer tours. And external carry options for skis or snowboards, plus poles and ice axes, lets you go from the skin track to the boot pack without any drama. It won’t prevent avalanches, but this pack puts potentially life saving technology close at hand, giving you a powerful tool that, when used correctly, can improve your odds if you find yourself caught in a slide.
