The Vest That Carries Your Whole Safety System.
The Dakine Poacher R.A.S. Vest is built for the rider who goes beyond the resort boundary — heli, cat, or lift-assisted backcountry — and needs their safety gear organized, accessible, and out of the way until it isn't. The vest integrates with the Mammut R.A.S. 3.0 airbag system via a RollTop closure that keeps the airbag compartment sealed and secure, with front pockets and a dedicated snow tools pocket keeping your shovel, probe, and smaller items sorted without digging through a main compartment. Vertical snowboard carry and diagonal ski/splitboard carry mean you're not hand-carrying your board on the skin track. The 100% recycled high-density nylon shell handles the conditions. The rescue whistle on the sternum strap is the detail that tells you Dakine thought this through.
Note: R.A.S. Removable Airbag 3.0 and Cylinder sold separately. DK Impact Spine Protector compatible (sold separately).

Why We Carry Dakine
Dakine has been building rider-focused backcountry gear since 1979, and the Poacher R.A.S. is one of the most thoughtfully designed airbag-compatible vests on the market — not just a bag with an airbag slot, but a complete system organizer built around how backcountry riders actually move and work. We carry it because it makes carrying a full avi kit practical, not burdensome.
