Descensionist 40L Backpack

Addicted to the descent. You can't resist the thrill of skiing and snowboarding down steep slopes. The Patagonia Descensionist 40L Backpack is the perfect companion for backcountry powder seekers. It's designed to be lightweight yet fully-featured, allowing you to carry all the gear you need for a long day of backcountry adventures.

The backpack is made from recycled nylon fabric, which provides excellent abrasion-resistance and keeps you protected from the snow. Despite its durability, the fabric is lightweight and supple, ensuring optimal comfort. The backpack features a dedicated avy tool pocket, keeping your probe and shovel organized and easily accessible. Its asymmetrical spindrift collar opens wide for easy packing and closes tightly to keep blowing snow out. The roll-top closure system allows you to compress smaller loads for shorter tours and opens wide for bigger days. Additionally, the front straps securely hold your skis or snowboard when you need to bootpack.
