About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 is a 25-liter ski and snowboard pack built for days on the mountain. Its body is constructed from 500D CORDURA High-Tenacity Nylon, a fabric known for its durability relative to its weight, while the lining uses 200D recycled polyester plain weave. The pack weighs 1,206 g (2 lb 10.5 oz) and measures 21.3 x 11 x 9.4 inches, fitting torso lengths of 16 to 22 inches and waist sizes of 30 to 48 inches. A spring steel frame flexes with body movement while transferring load efficiently to the suspension. Snow-specific features include a front avalanche tool pocket with dedicated tool sleeves, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, a helmet hammock for 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 handle skins, gloves, or water bottles. The pack is hydration reservoir compatible, with insulated tube routing through dual-density shoulder straps. An expandable laptop sleeve, foam-reinforced front panel, wicking stretch-woven back panel with HDPE framesheet, and a removable hipbelt round out the feature set.

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.
