The quality of your backcountry experience largely depends on the pack that is carrying all of your gear; the Deuter Descentor EXP 22 Pack knows this and is designed for carrying everything you need for a day of thrills and chills. Designed to carry skis, a snowboard, or even large snowshoes, the Descentor EXP takes pride in its versatility. The mandatory tools of slackcountry and backcountry alike include a shovel, probe, helmet, water, and maybe even some extra goggles, so that's why the Descentor EXP 22 provided all of the above with their own specific pockets, leaving the main compartment open for layers, lunch, and camera.
