The Best Ski Packs of 2026
Oct 1, 2025
Dakine
$190
With the nod of approval from legendary freerider Karl Fostvedt, you know the Team Mission Pro 25L is a great choice for aggressive resort and light backcountry days. This pack trends toward the minimalist side of the spectrum but comes equipped with a dedicated avy tool compartment for your shovel and probe, an insulated hydration sleeve, a fleece-lined goggle pocket and a zippered exterior pocket. The pack is set up to carry skis diagonally and is also compatible with Dakine’s DK Impact Spine Protector (sold separately) if you’re looking to get extra sendy. Not quite ultralight, the main compartment is just big enough for an extra layer and skins, making the pack ideal for riders who prioritize easy access and fresh lines in or around the resort. Of course, a touch of Crazy Karl styling keeps you looking good while you’re out there, too.
