Slackpack Snow Backpack

About the The North Face Slackpack

What is the The North Face Slackpack Snow Backpack good for?

This 30-litre construction is designed for backcountry skiing, snowboarding and ski touring operations. It's built for riders who need reliable equipment organisation across various mountain environments. The Slackpack Snow works well in resort sidecountry, backcountry wilderness, and touring routes. This pack handles full-day missions requiring avalanche safety equipment whilst maintaining performance through skinning ascents and lift-accessed terrain.

The internal avalanche tool pocket at the top provides dedicated storage for safety equipment with rapid access capability. The close-to-body fit creates a slim side profile that improves freedom of movement during skinning and lift operations. Diagonal ski-carry straps offer versatile equipment transport options with secure attachment points. The pack also features on-body compression that stabilises load distribution whilst maintaining compact profile. Furthermore, the external fleece-lined goggle pocket protects eyewear with easy retrieval access. An adjustable sternum strap with whistle buckle provides emergency signalling capability alongside load stabilisation.

The North Face brings decades of mountain sports expertise to backcountry equipment design. Construction uses recycled materials including 420D nylon main body and 600D polyester sides with non-PFC DWR treatment. This integration of sustainable materials maintains environmental responsibility whilst delivering proven weather resistance. The pack's design reflects field-tested requirements for mountain safety and performance.
