Dakine Poacher Backpack 22L
DESCRIPTION
A versatile, low-profile ski and snowboard pack for missions inbounds and out.
When the backcountry gates beckon, the Poacher 22L offers enough space for your shovel, probe, skins, and a spare layer. Its contoured, low-profile fit still carries close, while the updated backpanel construction improves overall flex and comfort. Larger A-frame carry loops accommodate wider boards or skis when the bootpack calls, and two-way radio handset and insulated hydration compatibility help keeps you stay dialed when exiting the resort boundary.

Care
If your Dakine bag gets dirty, we recommend hand washing with mild soap (like Nikwax Tech Wash), cold water and a soft bristle brush. If hand washing is not going to do the trick, use a front loader washing machine. To ensure your backpack doesn't get tangled, place inside a pillowcase or mesh bag before washing. Always use cold water, mild soap and run on a gentle cycle. Never bleach your pack. Hang to dry in a warm but shady place, ensuring both inside and out are dry before storing.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: Is 22L enough for backcountry skiing?
A: Yes for short tours or sidecountry. It fits avalanche gear, water, food, and a layer—but it’s not for long or technical multi-hour objectives.
Q: How is it different from the Snow Pro or Backcountry 25L?
A: The Poacher 22L is more lift-friendly and compact, while the 25L+ models are better for longer or more gear-heavy missions.
Q: Can it fit a laptop?
A: Not properly. It’s not designed for tech carry or protection.
Q: Is it comfortable for skiing all day?
A: Yes—this is one of its strengths. It sits close to the body and doesn’t bounce.
Q: Is it waterproof?
A: No, but it is highly water-resistant and snow-ready.
Q: Who should avoid it?
A: People doing long backcountry days or needing large gear capacity (go 25L–36L instead).
