Poacher 40L Backpack - Black FAQ
Is 40L enough for a multi-day or hut trip?
The Poacher 40L pairs a large-volume zippered top pocket with a full main compartment, plus a snow tool/shovel pocket, splitboard poles and ice axe carry loops, and vertical snowboard or diagonal ski/splitboard carry. That combination is sized for longer backcountry days or overnight loads.
How do I access gear without unpacking from the top?
The Poacher 40L has back panel zippered main access, so you can reach in from the back panel instead of pulling everything out through the top opening. That's especially useful once the pack is loaded near its 40L capacity.
Can I carry a helmet without losing main pack space?
Yes, it has a deployable helmet carry in a dual position, letting you mount your helmet externally in whichever spot works for how the pack is loaded. That keeps the main compartment free for a shovel, splitboard poles, and overnight gear.
Will this pack hold up over a full season of backcountry use?
It's built from 100% recycled high-density nylon, chosen for abrasion resistance against rocks and repeated heavy loading. The snow-shedding molded back panel resists soaking through, and a rescue whistle on the sternum strap adds a safety point for longer tours.
How is the weight carried on longer days?
The Poacher 40L uses a 38 mm padded hip belt with a side pocket and reverse-pull waist belt, letting you tighten the load from the front rather than reaching around your back. That matters at 40L, where a full load needs to stay close to your center of gravity.
