DAKINE

Team Poacher Ras Vest Karl Fostvedt

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This vest is the most dialed piece of kit I’ve used for fast backcountry days. It fits snug, carries everything from a shovel to goggles, and works with the Mammut RAS system. You can ski hard without it bouncing and forget you're even wearing it."

When we want to move fast and light in avalanche terrain, we throw on the Dakine Team Poacher RAS Vest. Designed with feedback from Karl Fostvedt himself, this utility-packed vest delivers everything we need for a big mission in a sleek, no-bulk silhouette. By ditching the backpack, we stay agile on tight bootpacks and technical descents without sacrificing safety or storage.

This vest is fully compatible with the Mammut Removable Airbag System 3.0 and the DK Impact Spine Protector (both sold separately). With vertical snowboard and diagonal ski carry options, reinforced tool sleeves, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, and a snow-shedding back panel, it’s clear this vest is engineered for real-time use in the mountains. Add Karl’s personal design flavor and fully recycled materials, and you've got a go-to layer that blends performance, responsibility, and style.
