Mojave 60-70L Modular Canyoneering Backpack

The Sko Gear Mojave 60-70L is a modular drainage backpack built for canyoneering and multi-day adventures where your pack goes in and out of water. Unlike our airtight packs, the Mojave is designed to let water in and drain it out fast — so you're never hauling extra water weight on the hike out.

Note: The Mojave is NOT a waterproof/airtight pack. Use internal dry bags for items that must stay dry (phone, food, clothing). For a fully submersible waterproof backpack, see the Coqui 22L or Karpathos 34L.

Adjustable 60L to 70L Capacity

The Mojave expands from 60L to 70L with a quick zip, giving you room for multi-day gear, rope bags, harnesses, and supplies.

Rapid Drainage System

Engineered with drainage ports throughout, water flows out quickly after submersion. When you exit a pool or swim section in a canyon, the pack drains fast so you're carrying gear weight — not water weight. This is the key advantage over sealed packs in wet canyoneering.

Rugged Construction

Built with abrasion-resistant, puncture-proof materials. Tough enough to withstand sharp rocks, rough trails, and constant canyon wall contact. Backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Built For

• Wet Canyoneering — rapid drainage for pool-to-pool canyon routes
• Multi-Day Canyon Expeditions — expandable capacity for extended trips
• Backpacking with River Crossings — drains fast after fording
• Any Route Where Your Pack Gets Submerged — embrace the water

What to Pair With the Mojave

Since the Mojave drains rather than seals, protect your sensitive gear:

• Waterproof Phone Pouch ($44.99) — keep your phone dry inside or outside the pack
• Waterproof Crossbody Bag ($74.99) — carry phone, keys, and wallet in a sealed bag

Or pair the Mojave with a Coqui 22L — use the Coqui as an internal dry bag for electronics and food inside the Mojave.
