Patagonia Descensionist Pack

The Patagonia Descensionist Snow Pack is purpose-built for dedicated backcountry skiers and splitboarders seeking reliable performance on extended tours and multi-day missions. Designed with fast-and-light alpine objectives in mind, this pack offers generous capacity without compromising agility or comfort. The exterior is crafted from a burly, 2-layer 210-denier 100% recycled nylon ripstop with a TPU coating, delivering excellent abrasion and weather resistance. The interior lining features 100% recycled polyester, while the breathable back panel and harness are made with bluesign-approved materials and DWR finish free from intentionally added PFAS. Built in a Fair Trade Certified factory, the Descensionist prioritizes both sustainability and ethical manufacturing, making it a solid choice for eco-conscious mountain adventurers pushing deep into variable terrain.

The Descensionist Snow Pack is engineered with highly functional features to support serious alpine missions. A snow-safety pocket with internal sleeves keeps your probe and shovel instantly accessible, while external loops and a cinch-top closure with a durable metal hook secure ropes, axes, or cross-carried skis and splitboards. Side access zips allow quick entry to the main compartment without fully removing the pack ideal in steep or exposed terrain. A-frame or cross-carry ski systems and removable snowboard straps provide versatile gear-hauling options, and an included helmet carrier adds even more flexibility. The top stash pocket protects goggles, while dual hip-belt pockets keep snacks and tools at hand. At just 1,460g, this 37-litre pack offers robust, storm-ready performance without weighing you down on the ascent.
