"Item arrived faster than I expected. We used this backpack while skiing and it was able to hold all of our belongings without an issue. Thank you BDE !!!"
"Small enough to not be cumbersome, big enough to fit all my goodies. Not snow season yet so I haven't had a chance to use on mountain, but its my new go to daypack for hiking / bouldering days."
"Love the Dawn Patrol 15! It's the perfect size and is very high quality, I'll be using it for years to come!"
"Perfect for day hikes"
"Super minimalist ski pack. Well thought out for basics. Well constructed."
"Great bag that fits snug against back for chair lifts or day outings in the backcountry. Well built and durable!"
"This pack easily holds my avy kit, spare goggles, 2 liters of water (in a hydration pouch), lunch, an extra layer, plus a pocket for small tools and minimal first aid supplies. The pack manages to fit snug to my body and rides easily on chair lifts. I don't feel like I have a big pack pushing me off the lift. It has a clever tuck away spot for the crossbody ski holders, which adds safety so that errant chords don't get stuck on a chair lift, which can be dangerous when getting off the lift. There is also a tuck away high or low helmet holder. BD made perfection here. It has burly ripstop material and expect to use this pack for a lifetime. I tried three other brands of packs before making my decision and the 15L BD dawn patrol stood above all. Most important, the pack skis great. I don't even know its on while I'm skiing tight technical terrain."
"I have not had a chance to use it yet, but looks like the perfect pack for inbound skiing. Probably not enough room for anything over a day in the backcountry."
"It can carry all my gear efficiently and comfortably Not to mention it’s pretty steezy"
"At 15L this is a small pack requiring a smaller shovel and limiting the amount of layers ect. you can bring with you. I was able to get BD transfer shovel in the pack but my Evac 7 made getting anything else in the bag difficult. While I can appreciate the secondary pocket for shovel and probe it does make getting other items in a pack this size harder. As I am primarily just using the bag in resort this is enough but for any real backcountry where I need a layer or two in the bag it is too small. I love the helmet carrying system and ski system though I have not yet tied to carry skies and my helmet on the bag a the same time which may be an issue. A bit of an annoyance is the bag does not have any elastic straps to help tuck away long straps which has lead to me tying up the board carrying straps and preying they do not get caught on the chair lift when wearing it in resort."
