Buying a backpack for snowboarding is similar to choosing your snowboard; at the end of the day, it comes down to what kind of rider you are. There’s an abundance of backcountry-specific packs that will improve your day out of bounds, but the Rome Park Pack is an entirely different beast.

“It’s built of tough stuff, so leaving it in the snow is no big deal, and there’s heaps of pockets for essentials like your board tool or action camera”

The Rome Park Pack snowboard backpack has been around for a few seasons now, so you may already be familiar with it, but it’s looking better than ever in 2017/18. If you’re needing something that ticks all of your own personal boxes on the hill, and can serve a purpose off it too, look no further.

Thanks to the comfy straps and foam panels on the back, you can take the Rome Park Pack around the resort all day. However, as the name suggests, it’s prime function is to stash your shit whilst throwing down on the kickers and rails. It’s built of tough stuff, so leaving it in the snow is no big deal, and there’s heaps of pockets for essentials like your board tool or action camera.
