Camelbak Snoblast Caper 14L

Though you can fit shovel and probe for a quick backcountry tour, the Snowblast Caper’s small yet smart profile shines as an in-bounds daypack or as a sidecountry hauler. A well-padded back panel adds comfort and a touch of protection in case you take a digger, while comfortable shoulder straps, a removable waist belt and a sternum strap cinch and secure the backpack—even on fast and/or technical terrain. An overall burly build (backed with CamelBak’s lifetime guarantee), intelligently designed features like the diagonal ski carry strap, the helmet carry and the fleecy goggle pocket as well as the company’s famous hydration tech (a 3L Antidote Reservoir with a tight-locking valve, easy open wide-mouth lid and insulated PureFlow tube) made the Caper a major hit among testers in Chile.
