CamelBak Powderhound 12 Hydration Pack 70oz, Grey/Orange insulated snow pack with Therminator tube sleeve

The CamelBak Powderhound 12 is a 70oz insulated snow-specific hydration pack built to keep water flowing and gear dry while you ski or snowboard.

Designed for winter conditions, the Powderhound 12 combines a Therminator-insulated harness, SnowShield fabric, and external carry options so you can take hydration, layers, and essentials on the hill without worrying about freezing tubes or wet pockets. The pack balances low-profile performance with practical storage and lift-access features for day trips and après-ski runs.

How does the Powderhound 12 prevent my water from freezing during cold days?

The pack uses CamelBak’s Therminator harness that routes the reservoir tube through an insulated sleeve in the shoulder strap to protect it from cold air. This reduces the chance of the drinking tube icing over so you can sip consistently on long chairlift rides and steep laps.

• Insulated tube sleeve integrated into shoulder strap
• Compatible with 70oz reservoir for extended hydration
• Zip closure keeps the tube snug and shielded from wind

Can I carry skis or a snowboard with this pack?

Yes — the Powderhound 12 includes reinforced external straps for multiple carry configurations. You can attach skis A-frame or diagonally and secure a snowboard with dedicated straps so your hands stay free when hiking, booting, or navigating lift lines.

• External ski straps for A-frame or diagonal carry
• Board carry points to keep gear stable on the go
• Low-profile design maintains balance while loaded

What features protect my essentials from snow and moisture?

SnowShield material sheds snow and prevents buildup on the pack surface, while weather-resistant pockets keep small items dry. The pack’s layout separates wet layers from electronics and snacks so you can reach what you need without digging through damp gear.

• SnowShield fabric repels snow and reduces sticking
• Dedicated zipper pockets to isolate valuables
• Removable stability belt keeps pack secure over rough terrain

How does the Lift Access QR harness make lift rides easier?

The Lift Access QR harness is tailored for chairlift use, positioning essential pockets and the drinking tube for quick reach while seated. It allows you to access gloves, goggles, or snacks between runs without removing the pack.

• Quick-reach pocket placement for lift-side access
• Harness design keeps the pack stable when seated
• Streamlined profile reduces awkward snagging on lifts

Who is this for: The Powderhound 12 is ideal for skiers and snowboarders who want a compact, winter-ready hydration solution with gear-carry options. Choose this pack if you need reliable insulated hydration, weather-resistant storage, and practical ski/board carry for day-long mountain sessions.
