Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal Backpack 25L
Sold out






The perfect ski pack for side and frontcountry with some resort sprinkled in.
When you're somewhere in between all-day skinning for a peak summit and joyriding lifts because you just want to experience it all, strap into our Gnarwhal™ 25L-the perfect pack for sidecountry and frontcountry ski days with a little resort time sprinkled in. We made this ultra-versatile carry more compressible in the back for lift-comfort, and a little less supply-oriented since you're likely hitting up the resort lodge for midday refueling. So if you're a do-it-all fan, it's the ideal off- to on-piste pick without adding weight.
