Osprey Kode 22 Ski Pack

Osprey Kode 22 – sleek backcountry ski pack
The Osprey Kode ski backpack features a minimalist design that includes everything a skier or snowboarder needs for a day of backcountry touring. The pack carries a snowboard vertically on the back of the pack or skis diagonally in the A-frame style on the sides of the pack.
The Kode 22 features zippered panel access to a large internal compartment with plenty of space for all your snow tools including a pocket perfect for stashing your snow probe and shovel. Separate wet and dry compartments keep your dry clothes away from your soggy layers.
An internal insulated hydration sleeve keeps your water from freezing and handy hipbelt pockets provide easy access to your small essentials. Each Kode backpack also has a lined fleece compartment to keep your ski goggles scratch free. The Kode 22 comes in small, medium, and large.
