The Burton AK Japan Guide 32L Backpack is a full-sized, framed backpack designed for the hardworking backcountry guides in the powder meccas in Hokkaido and Honshu. At 32 liters, it's big enough to fit everything you need for a big day, and is designed with thoughtful, backcountry specific features like a vertical board carry, easy access internal shovel and probe pocket, and a back panel accessed main compartment. The bottom is reinforced and waterproof so it doesn't soak through when you're digging around for a snack, and the whole thing is sleek and ergonomic.
