Jones Snowboards Higher Backpack
Best technical pack for serious backcountry splitboarders and mountaineers.
This is a technical workhorse built for those who prioritize efficiency in the backcountry. Its streamlined profile keeps your center of gravity stable during aggressive descents, though you’ll have to trade off some extra storage volume for that essential, low-profile agility.
