About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 is a ski and snowboard-specific pack built around a 25-liter (1,526 cubic inch) main compartment and a packed weight of approximately 1,210 grams (2 lb 10.5 oz). The body is constructed from 500D CORDURA High-Tenacity Nylon, while the lining uses 200D recycled polyester plain weave, and the pack measures 21.3 x 11 x 9.4 inches when loaded. A spring steel frame flexes with the body while transferring load efficiently to the suspension, which includes dual-density shoulder straps with insulated hydration tube routing and a stowable, removable hipbelt with Hypalon-reinforced compression wings. A dedicated front avalanche tool pocket with tool sleeves, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, and a foam-reinforced front panel guard against ski and board edges. The helmet hammock accommodates A-frame or diagonal ski carry, and a stowable diagonal ski loop deploys quickly at the base. Dual expandable side zip pockets handle skins, gloves, or water bottles, and a suspended laptop sleeve stays low-profile when empty. The pack fits torsos from 16 to 22 inches and waists from 30 to 48 inches.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 for its durable 500D CORDURA construction, thoughtful feature set, and versatility across resort, sidecountry, and frontcountry skiing. The build quality and well-organized storage, including a fleece-lined goggle pocket, dedicated avalanche tool pocket, helmet hammock, and glove-friendly compression buckles, earn frequent compliments. Users also appreciate how compressible it sits against the back during lift rides. The most common complaints center on the diagonal ski carry system, which many find confusing due to unclear instructions and a seemingly missing top loop, as well as some users wishing for more pockets. Color accuracy versus marketing photos has also been flagged as a minor disappointment.
