Nirvana Pro 25 Backpack

Mammut's Nirvana Pro 25 Backpack boasts blissful storage options for backcountry skiers. The Nirvana boasts a 25-liter capacity that''s equipped to haul all of your equipment for a half day or longer, and you can access the main compartment from both the front and back of this pack, making it quick and easy to wrangle some snacks even with a snowboard strapped on. Both side or diagonal ski carry options offer the versatility you need in steep couloirs or glaciated traverses.

The U-Frame suspension system efficiently transfers your load for a more well-balanced haul, and the two-layer, EVA back padding delivers a comfortable feel. And, Mammut added a laminated stretch fabric to shed snow off your back in blizzards, which means you don't end up with a saturated or swampy backside.

In addition to its plank-friendly construction, the Nirvana Pro features a waist belt you can remove if your haul doesn't require the extra support. The front pocket accommodates your avy gear, which leaves enough room in the main compartment for your lunch, jacket, and electronics. The hydration system includes an insulated tube cover, so your water doesn't freeze when the temperatures dip below comfortably cool. Not to mention, the pack also carries both your helmet and goggles when you don't need them, and the pocket at the waist doubles as a good spot for sunscreen or lip balm.
