Why We Like The North Face Snomad 23L Backpack

A favorite amongst backcountry skiers and snowboarders, the North Face Snomad 23L Backpack impresses with its eco-friendly recycled construction, ensuring that we can explore the mountains while minimizing our environmental impact. But it doesn't stop there - this backpack also offers a comfortable and functional load carriage, keeping us going strong throughout the day.

Buckles provide a secure and comfortable carry of our skis or snowboard, offering the choice between a diagonal or A-frame carry. We can confidently scale the snowy peaks, knowing that our gear is held securely in place.

Accessing our essentials has never been easier with back-access to the main compartment. No need to dig through layers of gear - everything is within easy reach, ensuring a seamless experience on the mountain.

Our safety is paramount, and the North Face Snomad 23L Backpack recognizes that. It features an adjustable ice-axe carry that allows us to choose which side to mount our ice-axe, offering flexibility and convenience. Additionally, it boasts an integrated helmet carry, providing a dedicated space to keep our helmet secure and easily accessible. Furthermore, a separate compartment is specifically designed to safely store our avalanche probe and shovel, ensuring that we are prepared for any unexpected circumstances.
