Mammut

Nirvana 25 Backpack

Slashing through knee-deep powder on an untouched backcountry line is about as close to Nirvana as you can get, so it's fitting that the Mammut Nirvana 25 Backpack will make that experience even more enjoyable with its comfortable design and backcountry-specific features. Ideally sized as a pack for shorter excursions, the Nirvana 25 has an easily-accessible front pocket that'll keep your avalanche safety gear organized and close by if you need it, in addition to its main compartment that houses extra layers, snacks, and other gear. Speaking of layers, it's also got a jacket carrying system that'll keep your shell or puffy stashed but within reach when you decide to shed layers after a few minutes of hard climbing. Attachment points for poles and ice-axes keep important tools stashed when not in use, while ski and snowboard carries keep you prepared for more technical sections of bootpacking. Hydration compatibility lets you bring along your hydration bladder for hands-free drinking on the skintrack, and a rear-access panel makes it easy to access your stuff without rooting around too much.
