Vests have become the most popular method for ski patrol to carry their gear but have distinct drawbacks impacting the patroller’s comfort and ability to complete tasks most effectively. This pack system addresses these issues by moving away from a one size fits all approach, instead prioritizing adjustability and comfort for both men and women. It’s designed with an emphasis on speed and ease of use, and built around the pieces of equipment that are most frequently and quickly needed.

This durable, weatherproof pack is built with distinct features unique to the market, combining the best aspects of a conventional backpack and patrol vest. These features include an easily detachable back compartment with interior and exterior openings, flip-down work station, dedicated glove pocket, and compatibility with existing rescue/life support backpacks. Built to be hassle-free and minimize rooting around for gear, it’s also safe and comfortable for long days and chair lift rides, thanks to the removable back and a design that eliminates dangling straps.
