Description

Part of Mountain Hardwear’s Objective Series (for climbing, mountaineering, and now snow sports), the Huckster is designed for the multi-board, backcountry user who snowboards one day and skis the next. A smaller-capacity version of the Glisse, it’s designed for a closer-to-home load.

The Huckster 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). It 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: 1500 cubic inches
Weight: 2 lbs. 13 oz.
MSRP: $100
