Our Backcountry Pick: Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 32L Backpack
Buy Now: $150, regularly $220
A good touring pack is well worth its weight in gold (but preferably lightweight). The Dawn Patrol is a longtime favorite for backcountry skiers because of its ample external pockets and one dedicated to avy equipment. The pack comes in two sizes, so whatever your preference, you can remain comfortable.
Our Steep and Cheap Pick: Daking 30L Boot Bag
Buy Now $25, regularly $50
These days, $25 can barely get you a burrito from Chipotle, so when we spotted this boot bag for 50 percent off, we had to share it. Dakine’s 30-liter boot bag is functional with no frills. It has two major pockets: one for your boots, and one for smaller accessories like hats, glasses, and some snacks. There’s a simple shoulder strap, and that’s about it. It’s the everyman’s bag, and with a lifetime guarantee, you can get the cost per wear down so low, it’s basically free.
Our Wild Rye Pick: Jane Legging

Wild Rye is one of our favorite female-owned brands, so they understand fashionable gear without sacrificing function. The Jane leggings check both boxes with 100-percent merino wool and a stretchy waistband that stays put all day long. With flattering details and unique patterns, there’s no shortage of fun. Make it a full kit with the Evie Raglan top, also on sale for $74 (normally $125).
