Powderhound 12

Made for all-day lift laps and short in-bounds boot packs. The Powderhound 12 keeps your water flowing in the cold, swings round on the chair and straps your skis or board on for the short boot pack.

Who it's for

Skiers and snowboarders doing all-day lift laps, short in-bounds boot packs and the odd sidecountry trip. Out for a day or the whole season, it is built to be the pack you reach for.

Capacity, and what actually fits

You get 12 L of storage plus a Crux 2 L reservoir: room for extra layers and your essentials. Snow Shield technology keeps your gear protected through a long winter day, and Snowshed material repels snow and stops it sticking to the pack.

How it carries

External straps carry skis A-frame or diagonally on the outside of the pack, and also secure a snowboard. The removable stability belt keeps the pack steady over technical terrain, and comes off when you do not want it.

Fitting it

The sternum strap slides up and down the harness, for a custom fit.

Access and organisation

The Lift Access QR harness is made for chair rides: swing the pack around and reach your essentials quickly. A secure zipped pocket looks after the small stuff.

Drinking and refilling

Your drink tube zips into an insulated sleeve in the shoulder strap, the Therminator harness, which protects it from freezing and keeps the water flowing. The Crux reservoir has an ergonomic handle for easier refilling and an on/off lever to shut it off.
