Whether ducking out of bounds, knee deep in a multi-day backcountry tour, or pushing to the top a a big-mountain objective, the Mystery Ranch Patrol 45 Pack is a burly, rough-and-ready option for tackling the fresh and staying safe while you're at it. Besides coming standard with A-frame and vertical ski and board carry options, the Patrol 45 features a specially designed avi-tool compartment that lets you stay organized and ready should you need to deploy your shovel and probe in the advent of a slide. The durable Cordura nylon is tough enough to take a licking from your freshly tuned ski edges, and the fiberglass reinforces the whole pack, making it strong enough to carry loads up to 50lb. And to top it all off, the rear-entry zippered back enables easy access to the Patrol's central compartment when you're all rigged up halfway to your objective, so you don't need to de-rig the whole thing just to get at a snack or extra layer.
