Patagonia Descensionist 40L Backpack for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

You lug gear up mountains through brutal weather conditions for one reason and one reason only—to get the goods on the way down. Built for the backcountry powder seeker, the Patagonia Descensionist 40L Backpack offers out-of-bounds skiers and riders a lightweight, yet full-featured option for hauling all the gear they need for a long day in the backcountry. Recycled nylon fabric provides burly abrasion-resistance and protection from the snow in a lightweight and supple package. A dedicated avy tool pocket keeps your probe and shovel organized and easily accessible. The asymmetrical spindrift collar opens wide for easy packing and closes quickly with a single tug to keep blowing snow out. A roll-top closure compresses smaller loads for shorter tours and opens wide for bigger days. Front straps secure your skis or snowboard when you have to bootpack.
