Poacher Ras 36L Backpack - Black FAQ
Is 36L enough room with the airbag system installed?
Yes. The Poacher RAS 36L still fits a large-volume zippered top pocket and full main compartment around the Removable Airbag System 3.0 by Mammut (sold separately, roll-top closure), plus splitboard poles and ice axe carry loops. At 36L there's enough room left for overnight or multi-day backcountry gear even with the airbag unit installed.
Can I carry my snowboard or splitboard with this pack?
Yes, it keeps vertical snowboard carry and diagonal or A-frame ski/splitboard carry alongside the airbag compatibility, so switching between splitboard touring and bootpacking doesn't require a different pack.
How do I get into the main compartment without messing with the airbag?
The Poacher RAS 36L uses back panel zippered main access, so you reach your gear from the back rather than through the airbag's roll-top closure. A deployable helmet carry in a dual position gives you external storage as well.
How is weight managed on a long day at 36L?
It uses a 38 mm padded hip belt with a side pocket, tightened from the front, plus a snow-shedding molded back panel to keep weight-bearing surfaces from soaking through. A rescue whistle on the sternum strap adds a safety touchpoint for extended tours.
How rugged is the fabric for repeated backcountry trips?
It's built from 100% recycled high-density nylon, a heavier-denier weave chosen to resist abrasion from rocks and the added bulk of an airbag system. That's the same fabric spec used across the non-RAS Poacher line for season-long durability.
