Description

Part of Mountain Hardwear’s Objective Series (for climbing, mountaineering, and now snow sports), the Glisse is designed for the multi-board, backcountry user who snowboards one day and skis the next. The Glisse can carry either a board (between the pack and back suspension panel, secured with a strap) or skis (using either side compression straps for an A-frame carry or the reinforced front panel for a diagonal carry). The back of the pack unzips for easy access when skis are strapped to its front.

The Glisse features an aluminum-perimeter frame for support. A front pocket organizes your shovel, probe, or skins, and a main pocket stores clothing, snacks, and smaller items in several organizer pockets. An internal hydration pocket exits into an insulated shoulder strap cover, for protection from cold winter temps.

Capacity: 2050 cubic inches
Weight: 3 lbs. 5 oz.
MSRP: $120

From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain Hardwear's Glisse Backpack holds your touring gear for a day of backcountry fresh pow attacks. Pack your shovel and probe in the Glisse Backpack's snow safety gear pocket for quick, easy access, and stash your snowy skins for the ride down. A padded trampoline back panel keeps your back cool as you skin up, and the Glisse's padded waist-belt secures the pack as you carve turns through pristine snow. Mountain Hardwear included an insulated hydration hose sleeve in the dual density shoulder straps to keep your water from freezing, and gave the Glisse Pack a padded front panel to keep your skis from ripping holes in your pack. Stash your goggles or sunglasses in the fleece-lined organizer compartment. Grab the 31L or 28L pack and fit in another fleece layer for colder weather treks, or keep it super-streamlined with the 25L pack."
