Why We Like The North Face Snomad 34L Backpack

The North Face's Snomad 34L Backpack is our top choice for a lightweight and streamlined backpack that keeps everything organized. Whether we're carrying a full load or exploring the backcountry, this backpack is designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit.

One of the standout features is the durable framework and dual-side compression straps, which ensure that our gear stays in place and our load is evenly distributed. With treated fibers, this backpack is also resistant to sprindrift and spray, making it perfect for winter adventures.

When it comes to organization, the Snomad 34L Backpack doesn't disappoint. It has a dedicated compartment for avalanche gear, ensuring quick and easy access when needed. Additionally, there's a soft-lined pocket for goggles, keeping them safe and scratch-free. Plus, the A-frame design securely holds skis, providing a convenient way to carry them.
