Black Diamond

Dawn Patrol 15L Backpack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the pack I grab for storm days and big resort laps when I only need the essentials. It fits close to my body, so it doesn’t bounce around on aggressive descents, and I like how the insulated shoulder pocket keeps my soft flask from freezing. The tuck-away ski carry is super handy when a bootpack is on the menu."

We count on the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 15L Backpack when traveling light makes the difference between chasing one more lap or calling it quits early. Built from 100% recycled fabrics, this streamlined pack carries the essentials—snacks, water, avy gear, and an extra layer—without weighing us down. The form-fitting suspension keeps everything tight and stable, letting us charge big freeride lines or link lift-access powder runs with ease.

The Dawn Patrol 15 is purpose-built for fast-moving mountain missions. A dedicated avalanche safety pocket organizes rescue gear, while the oversized insulated shoulder pocket keeps hydration close at hand. Quick-access zippers get us into the main compartment without fumbling, and tuck-away ski and snowboard carry systems make bootpacks simple. With external attachment points for helmet and piolet, this minimalist pack delivers maximum performance for minimal load.
