Jones Snowboards Higher Backpack

Yes, 32 liters is a sweet spot for most day-long excursions. It provides enough room for your essential safety gear, extra layers, and hydration without becoming overly bulky or cumbersome during technical ascents.

Yes, the pack is designed for versatility. It features dedicated external attachment points that support vertical snowboard carry and side ski carry, allowing you to secure your gear efficiently regardless of your setup.

It does. The molded foam is designed to provide structure and cushioning against your back, which helps distribute the weight of your gear more evenly and prevents sharp items inside the pack from poking through.

The hip pockets are sized for quick-access essentials like snacks, multi-tools, or a compass. While they can fit smaller phones, larger modern smartphones might be a tight squeeze, so it is best to keep your phone in a more secure, central pocket.

The Higher Backpack is hydration compatible, meaning it includes an internal sleeve and routing for a hydration hose. It should work with most standard-sized reservoirs, though very large or unusually shaped bladders may be a snug fit.

The streamlined, rectangular shape is intentional; it keeps the pack's center of gravity close to your body. This minimizes the 'swing weight' you feel when making turns or navigating technical terrain, keeping you more balanced.
