Touted as “the ultimate packs made for all snow-play activities,” Osprey’s Kode series of backpacks offer versatile features like ski and snowboard carrying straps, an insulated hydration-reservoir sleeve, and wet and dry organizational pockets.
The Kode 30, the middle size pack in the line, has 1,800 cubic inches (30 liters) of capacity — good for daylong adventures in the snow. $139, www.ospreypacks.com
