Full-day backcountry missions need more room than a lift-assist pack, and the Poacher R.A.S. 36L sizes up accordingly while staying airbag-ready. It's a panel loader with dedicated avalanche tool storage and back panel access to the main compartment, and the body-hugging molded back keeps the fit snug even when you're riding aggressively with a loaded pack. Like the 26L, this one accepts the Mammut Removable Airbag System 3.0 through Dakine's exclusive RollTop airbag closure, sold separately, so you can add active airbag protection to this exact pack.

BUYERS' GUIDE
Same rule as the 26L: this pack does not come with an airbag included. R.A.S. stands for Removable Airbag System, and this one's built to accept Mammut's R.A.S. 3.0 unit, sold separately. If you already own that unit, this is a straightforward way to size up your pack for longer days. If you're buying new, budget for both pieces, check we've got the Mammut unit in stock, and don't assume the pack alone gives you airbag protection. Compared to the 26L, this is the pick for genuine full-day and multi-day backcountry missions rather than heli or cat laps, the extra 10L gives you real room for extra layers, food, and safety gear on a longer objective, with the same dedicated avalanche tool storage and spine protector compatibility.
