Jones DSCNT Backpack

The 19L capacity is designed for quick tours and sidecountry missions where you only need to carry essentials like safety gear, an extra layer, and snacks. If you typically carry a full day's worth of supplies, extra clothing, or camera gear, you may find this pack too small.

The internal aluminum frame provides necessary structural support to keep the load stable and close to your back, which is crucial for balance during descents. While it adds support, the thermo-molded foam back panel ensures the pack remains comfortable and ergonomic against your body.

The DSCNT features an A-frame carry mode specifically designed for split-skis. It does not include a dedicated vertical or horizontal carry system for a solid snowboard.

The pack includes a dedicated hydro-pocket with an insulated sleeve. This helps prevent your hydration tube from freezing during cold days, though it is always good practice to blow water back into the reservoir after each sip to keep the line clear.

The straps and hip belt are designed to be tucked away quickly for a clean profile, which is particularly useful if you are traveling or need to avoid snagging on chairlift equipment. It is a simple, straightforward process that doesn't require extra tools.

Yes, the fleece-lined goggle pocket is sized to accommodate most standard and oversized goggle frames. The fleece lining also helps protect your lenses from scratches while they are stowed.
