This lightweight and simple backpack is equipped with the essential features for backcountry skiing. The main fabric is made of lightweight nylon using ripstop Spectra fibers, which have excellent cut resistance. You can attach skis to the backpack either in an A-frame style or diagonally, depending on your needs. For quick access to necessary items in the field, the main compartment includes a side zipper, and the front features an avalanche gear pocket. The roll-top design allows for easy capacity adjustment, and with compression on the sides and bottom, it is suitable for day trips to 1-2 night tours. Women's sizes are also available.

Reviews
Backcountry
It holds a lot of stuff.
The backpack itself is really light.
Compared to a rear open design, it is a bit less convenient to use.

Mountain climbing
Since you can access it from the side, it's easy to take things in and out. It also has a hydration hole, so that's good!
