About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Gnarwhal 25 is a dedicated skiing and snowboarding pack built around a 25-liter (1,526 cu in) main compartment and a total weight of 1,206 g (2 lb 10.5 oz). Its body is constructed from 500D CORDURA High-Tenacity Nylon, a fabric chosen for its balance of low weight and durability, while the lining uses 200D recycled polyester plain weave. The pack fits torso lengths of 16 to 22 inches (41 to 56 cm) and waist sizes of 30 to 48 inches (76 to 123 cm), with dual-density shoulder straps that include insulated hydration tube routing and a removable sternum strap with a whistle buckle. A spring steel frame flexes with the body 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 that supports A-frame or diagonal ski carry, and a stowable diagonal ski loop with a quick-deploy tab. Dual side zip pockets with expandable bellows handle skins, gloves, or water bottles, and a foam-reinforced front panel guards against ski and board edges. An expandable suspended laptop sleeve and a stowable, removable hipbelt round out the organization. Pack dimensions measure 21.3 x 11 x 9.4 inches (54 x 28 x 24 cm).

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.
