“Jones Snowboards is centered around a belief of being fully educated and prepared when it comes to snow safety in the backcountry,” says Jeremy Jones, Founder of Jones Snowboards. “Good decision making is the most important tool in the mountains. However, the backcountry is an uncontrolled environment and even the experts can make a mistake. I hope to never need to deploy my airbag, but I have seen it save lives. This is why I ride with one.”
A lightweight and technical snowboard carrying backcountry pack, the 30L R.A.S. Ready Pack features a large cargo compartment, quick access avalanche tool pockets, padded waist straps with dual hip pockets, fine adjustment shoulder straps, thermo molded neoprene foam back padding, fleece lined goggle pocket, and a back panel zipper for easy access to gear. Made from ultra durable Dimension polyant ballistic nylon with aramid fiber, the 30L R.A.S. Ready Pack will take a beating and keep performing in the harshest conditions.
