Whether you’re heading out for a few quick runs or a short alpine tour, it combines comfort, function, and avalanche safety in one streamlined design.

Despite its compact size, the Powder Rider 16 offers impressive organization.

The hydration system compatibility ensures you can stay hydrated on the go, while the diagonal ski-carry system lets you easily attach your skis when hiking steep terrain. There’s also a helmet net, hip belt pocket, and a key holder for added practicality.
