About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 is a 25-liter ski and snowboard pack built for on-mountain use, weighing approximately 2 lb 10.5 oz (1,206 g) and measuring 21.3 x 11 x 9.4 inches when packed. Its body is constructed from 500D CORDURA High-Tenacity Nylon, known for its durability relative to weight, while the interior is lined with 200D recycled polyester plain weave. The pack fits torso lengths of 16 to 22 inches and waist sizes of 30 to 48 inches, with a stowable and removable hipbelt and dual-density shoulder straps that include insulated hydration tube routing. A spring steel frame transfers load efficiently while allowing natural movement. Ski-specific features include a front avalanche tool pocket with dedicated tool sleeves, a helmet hammock that supports A-frame or diagonal ski carry, and a stowable diagonal ski loop with a quick-deploy tab. Dual large side zip pockets with expandable bellows accommodate skins, gloves, or water bottles. A fleece-lined goggle pocket, foam-reinforced front panel, wicking stretch-woven back panel with HDPE framesheet, and an expandable suspended laptop sleeve round out the feature set.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 for its excellent build quality, with the 500D CORDURA construction noted as noticeably durable and lightweight. The fit and comfort earn frequent compliments, and users appreciate the thoughtful feature set, including the fleece-lined goggle pocket, expandable side pockets, glove-friendly buckles, and the A-frame ski carry system. It is widely regarded as a well-sized, versatile pack for resort and sidecountry days. The most common complaints center on the confusing diagonal ski carry system, with multiple reviewers unable to figure out how it works due to a missing or unclear upper loop. A secondary gripe is that color options look significantly different in person compared to marketing photos. Some users also wish for more pockets given the price.
