For mountaineering and ice climbing adventures in the dead of winter, The North Face Cobra 65L will get us there and keep our gear organized for our fun-filled excursions. We like that this pack features semi-translucent fabric to help us see our gear more easily when everything is packed up, and that it's made from highly durable Teksever material, which reduces weight while reducing water and snow absorption. Designated ice-tool and axe spots help us carry our tools more easily while keeping picks covered, and an external stuff-it pocket holds crampons so we don't scratch up our pack or the rest of our gear. A rope carry at the top of the pack doubles as a compression feature, and a floating top lid with a zippered pocket is optimized for those smaller items we need to access easily.
