SnowDrifter Pack 20L – Quick-Access Ski Touring & Splitboard Backpack
The Patagonia SnowDrifter Pack 20L is built for fast-moving backcountry skiers and splitboarders who want to spend more time chasing lines and less time digging through their pack. Designed with a streamlined avalanche-tool layout, quick-grab pockets, and a lightweight yet storm-ready recycled nylon shell, it thrives in cold mornings, tree-snag descents, and steep bootpacks. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, it delivers top-tier performance with an equally strong commitment to responsible production.
Who’s it for?
Dawn-patrol regulars, hut-trip veterans, and sidecountry explorers who want organized, glove-friendly access to essentials without breaking stride. Perfect for skin tracks, powder stashes, and those one-more-lap afternoons.


Why It Stands Out
- ✔️ Avalanche-Ready Storage: Dedicated sleeves for probe, shovel handle & blade
- ✔️ Fast Grab-On-the-Go: Lumbar and strap pockets for skins, gloves, or snacks
- ✔️ Diagonal Ski/Splitboard Carry: Secure your gear for bootpacks and scrambles
- ✔️ Lightweight & Rugged: Recycled nylon ripstop with TPU coating & PFC-free DWR
- ✔️ Fair Trade Certified™: Built to last — and built responsibly
Why You’ll Love It
- Shave precious minutes off transitions with side & strap-access pockets
- Grab goggles or gloves without unloading avalanche gear
- Comfortable uphill, stable downhill — even fully loaded
More than just a ski touring backpack, the SnowDrifter Pack 20L is your backcountry control center. From first-light ascents to bonus-lap sunsets, it keeps your gear dialed, protected, and always ready. Clip in, shoulder up, and drop into the line you’ve been dreaming about.

FAQ
Does it fit avalanche safety tools?
Yes — it includes dedicated sleeves for a probe, shovel handle, and shovel blade, keeping your rescue tools organized and accessible.

Absolutely. The diagonal carry system secures skis or a splitboard quickly, without taking off your pack — perfect for bootpacks and steep ascents.
Is it waterproof?
It’s highly weather-resistant thanks to its TPU-coated recycled nylon shell and PFC-free DWR finish. It’s not fully waterproof or submersible.
Does it work with hydration bladders?
Yes — it’s compatible with most 2-liter hydration bladders and features insulated routing to prevent freezing.
