Black Diamond

Dawn Patrol 25L Backpack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is my go-to pack for dawn patrol laps or quick storm day missions. It hugs my body without feeling bulky, and I love the back-panel access for digging out layers fast. The insulated shoulder pocket is clutch for keeping my hydration tube from freezing, and the tuck-away ski carry system makes transitions smooth and easy."

We rely on the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 25L Backpack when early mornings and quick missions call for efficiency. Designed with 100% recycled fabrics, this lightweight pack carries everything we need for a fast tour or in-bounds powder day, from avalanche tools to an extra layer and lunch. Its body-hugging suspension system makes for stable movement whether we’re skinning up or arcing turns back down.

The Dawn Patrol 25 is loaded with features for functional backcountry travel. A dedicated snow safety pocket organizes our avy kit, while oversized hipbelt pockets easily stash climbing skins for quick transitions. Zippered back-panel access makes it easy to grab layers without dumping gear, and an insulated shoulder pocket keeps hydration flowing in cold conditions. With tuck-away ski and snowboard carry options, plus attachment points for helmet and piolets, this pack is versatile enough for everything from quick dawn laps to technical spring missions.
