The CamelBak Powderhound 12 Snow Hydration Pack is purpose-built for winter riders who need reliable hydration and gear hauling in cold, snowy conditions. This 12-liter snow pack features a redesigned harness that keeps your water flowing even in freezing temps, plus a smart carry system for skis or a snowboard. Whether you're lapping the resort or earning your turns, the Powderhound 12 keeps essentials accessible and your back comfortable.
CamelBak Powderhound 12: Snow-Ready Hydration Pack
The Powderhound 12 includes the Therminator Harness, which insulates the drinking tube to resist freezing, so you stay hydrated from first chair to last run. The pack's snow-repelling fabrics shed moisture, preventing snow buildup and keeping your gear drier. Its Lift Access QR harness lets you swing the pack forward on the chairlift to grab goggles, snacks, or your phone without taking it off.
How to Carry Skis on the CamelBak Powderhound 12
External carry straps allow both A-frame and diagonal ski carry, plus a secure snowboard attachment. This system keeps your boards stable during boot packs, traverses, or lift rides, and frees your hands for poles. The pack is designed to handle one setup at a time—either skis or a snowboard—so choose your carry based on the day's plan.
Winter-Specific Features for Resort Days
With 12 liters of storage, the Powderhound 12 carries extra layers, gloves, goggles, and a small first aid kit. The removable waist belt and adjustable sternum strap keep the load secure during dynamic movements, while the Lift Access QR harness ensures quick access to essentials on the lift. The pack also features a dedicated goggle pocket and a helmet carry loop for convenience.
Fit and Sizing
The Powderhound 12 fits most torso lengths with its adjustable harness. The waist belt is removable for a more minimal profile on shorter tours. The pack is designed to sit close to the body to maintain balance when skiing or riding.
