The WeighMyGear Shop Supplied by

You lug gear up mountains through brutal weather conditions for one reason and one reason only--to get the goods on the way down. Built for the backcountry powder seeker, the Patagonia Descensionist 40L Backpack offers out-of-bounds skiers and riders a lightweight, yet full-featured option for hauling all the gear they need for a long day in the backcountry. Recycled nylon fabric provides burly abrasion-resistance and protection from the snow in a lightweight and supple package. A dedicated avy tool pocket keeps your probe and shovel organized and easily accessible. The asymmetrical spindrift collar opens wide for easy packing and closes quickly with a single tug to keep blowing snow out. A roll-top closure compresses smaller loads for shorter tours and opens wide for bigger days. Front straps secure your skis or snowboard when you have to bootpack.
