Black Diamonds' top-of-the-line Dawn Patrol pack is for those who love simplicity and well-thought-out features. This pack does A-frame and diagonal carry for skis, splits, and even solid board carry as well. The oversized hip belts are great for chipmunks who love unlimited snacking and those who want to tuck their skins in the hip pockets rather than store them in their jacket.
The super-versatile 32-liter Dawn Patrol comes in 3 amazing colors, all made with 100% recycled fabrics that shed snow easily. The exterior safety pocket holds a shovel, a probe, and a snow saw. We use this size pack for our all-day on-snow pursuits when we are going deeper into the backcountry.
This pack loves showing off when the day gets technical. With plenty of carry options and attachment points, you can grow into this pack as you progress further into the backcountry adventures. I recommend this pack for anyone looking for their first 30-plus leader touring pack. You won't regret it.
