Description

Made for both in- and out-of-bounds skiing, the 20-liter, narrow profile Drift is designed for both quick trips into the backcountry and lift-accessed resort skiing. The pack can carry skis either vertically or diagonally and also can accommodate a snowboard or snowshoes using the same carrying system.

The Drift features a front and side pocket for storing a shovel blade, probe, and climbing skins, along with drainage points and side-zip access. To keep liquids from freezing in winter temps, a continuously insulated tube sleeve runs from inside the pack through the shoulder harness to protect your hydration system.

Capacity: 1300 cu in (20L)
Weight: 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
MSRP: $129

From Backcountry.com:
"Whether you ride the chairlifts or skin up a snowy ridge in the backcountry for your turns, the Gregory Drift Backpack holds everything you could want for a day of skiing. This backpack is a scaled-down version of Gregory's Targhee the Drift carries 35 pounds comfortably and holds your avalanche shovel, but it has a narrow profile to accommodate a chairlift seat. If you hike for your turns, load your skis onto the Drift vertically or diagonally. This hydration-compatible pack features an insulation sleeve so your water doesn't freeze. Gregory built the Drift with Exo Frame technology, which means that the back panel flexes and twists with you as you ski yet supports your pack's load with ease."
