Rab Descendor 30 Backpack

The ultimate lightweight 30L ski touring pack, packed with features to make transitions more efficient and streamline your search for unclaimed lines.

Offering the versatility you need for wide-ranging objectives, the Descendor is a true ski pack. With strippable parts and an adaptable feature set, it transforms from a gear-hauling beast to an agile summit pack at a moment's notice. Equipped with multiple carry options for ropes, skis, and ice tools, it's the pack you'll take for any ascent, whether it's alpine climbing, scrambling, Scottish winter cragging, or routes with an overnight bivi. Abrasion-, tear-, and water-resistant, as well as snow-shedding, this rugged recycled 210D nylon pack copes with all conditions and features a close-fitting TRI-FLEX back system allowing you to move freely and comfortably over demanding terrain. It supports the pack load for less strain during carry. The pack is searchable in an emergency thanks to an integrated RECCO reflector to aid search and rescue, meaning you can be more easily located in an emergency. The U-shaped opening allows you to hang the pack by the lid on a belay for easy access to kit, with further internal and external zipped pockets for organising kit. Carry your skis using the A-frame attachment, or the diagonal speed attachment for quick transitions, while the removable snowboard straps are perfect for splitboarders to attach their board. An integrated helmet holder lets you store your ski helmet when not in use, and the attachment points are ideal for fixing your ice axes to the pack.

The pack is designed with the mountains in mind, and as such it has a plethora of storage solutions. A main compartment features a side zip and is ideal for your bulky items and features an internal divider to help organise your contents. This helps create a bottom gear compartment, which is handy for on-the-go access to skins, ski crampons, or your water bottle. A dedicated front pocket offers quick access to avalanche safety equipment, and a port allows you to feed a rope from the main compartment, ideal for abseiling and glacier traverses. Additional storage options include a goggle pocket, chest strap storage, hipbelt pocket, and internal security pocket.
