PATAGONIA SNOWDRIFTER PACK 20L 48192

Description

PATAGONIA SNOWDRIFTER PACK 20L is built for quick descents into the backcountry.  The ambassador-driven SnowDrifter 20L has a close-fitting, freeride-oriented design that stays steady (and comfortable) on the wildest descents. It opens via a long clamshell zipper that provides fast access to the main compartment, which includes individual sleeves for your snow safety tools. Sized to carry extra layers, extra calories and other short-tour essentials, it also provides multiple ski and board carry options (including a helmet) with front compression straps for boards and skis, and side compression straps for skis—all with locking cam buckles. A separate microfleece-lined pocket keeps your goggles handy and protected from sharp edges. The clean suspension system incorporates heat-venting, snow-sloughing mesh on the shoulder straps, back panel and padded waistbelt for all-day carrying comfort; zippered stash pockets on the waistbelt hold all the items you want to keep close at hand. The top-mounted haul handle is reinforced and sized for gloves, and the hydration-system compatible design has an insulated hydration sleeve to keep liquids from freezing. Made from 100% recycled fabrics including burly 420-denier 100% recycled nylon plain weave for puncture and abrasion resistance and a lining of 3.3-oz 200-denier 100% recycled polyester plain weave. Both fabrics have a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

Water Resistant
DWR
 (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Recycled Nylon
Although Patagonia has been using recycled polyester in our garments for 20 years, for some reason locked deep in polymer chemistry, nylon is more difficult to recycle than polyester. After years of research, development, and testing, we’re finally finding some recycled nylon fibers that are suitable for apparel.

Some of the recycled nylon we use comes from post-industrial waste fiber, yarn collected from a spinning factory, and waste from the weaving mills that can be processed into reusable nylon fiber.

Patagonia is diligently searching for a success story with recycled nylon. The challenge lies ahead of us, and we’re committed to discovering the best methods to recycle nylon fiber, but it appears this evolution will take many years.
