An allrounder for the mountains

Versatile, functional and comfortable year-round mountain backpack

Highlights

  • Optimal load distribution 
  • Comfortable, well-ventilated back system 
  • Robust and sustainable with recycled polyamide

TRAVERSE backpacks are made for use all year round on summits great and small, although the TRAVERSE 30 is best suited to longer single-day and multi-day tours.

A well-ventilated back system and good load distribution are especially essential in a backpack. Thanks to the ribbed, webbed material and perforated foam in the back pads, the Comfort Contact back system provides excellent air circulation and improved comfort. Ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and a broad hip belt distribute weight evenly across the body.

Even when it comes to technical features, the TRAVERSE 30 has plenty to offer: its main compartment has several sections with enough room for your equipment, while smaller objects can be quickly stowed away in the slot compartment on the front. Your drink bottles will always be close at hand in the elastic side pockets. An integrated helmet net, hiking pole fastening, and stowable material loops at the end of the shoulder straps make the TRAVERSE 30 the optimal companion for alpine terrain. Additional features such as hydration system compatibility, rain cover, hip pocket and holders for items such as sunglasses on the shoulder strap round off this versatile backpack. In the interests of sustainability, 72% of the outer material is now made of recycled polyamide, making the TRAVERSE 30 extremely robust, with the smallest possible ecological footprint. The TRAVERSE 30 is thus the perfect companion for mountain adventures in summer and winter.

Ich habe den Traverse für's Wandern gekauft - bisher aber nutze ich den Rucksack für das Joggen zur und von der Arbeit nach Hause. Unerwarteterweise (eigentlich ist es ja nicht der Ensatzzweck des Rucksacks) macht er sich da wunderbar. Man bekommt alles unter, von Wechselklamotten bis hin zum Laptop. Auch am Rücken ist es luftig genug beim Laufen, gerade beim Joggen ja ein wichtiger Punkt. Auch beim Wandern empfand ich das System als angenehm. Daher finde ich das Rückensystem sehr gelungen. Der Rucksack macht sich beim Wandern kaum bemerkbar, ist bei richtiger Einstellung sehr angenehm zu tragen. Hervorheben möchte ich auch den Zugang zum Inneren, über den langen Reißverschluss. Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich es bei einem Rucksack derart erlebe und es ist wirklich Gold wert. Man kann schnell an das Innere gelangen, muss dafür oben nicht öffnen. Die Verarbeitung des Rucksacks im Allgemeinen finde ich sehr gelungen, weshalb ich derzeit keine Punkte sehe, die mir negativ aufgefallen ist. PS: Beim letzten Wandern allein kamen mir drei Leute mit dem Traverse 30 entgegen. Das hat zumindest meine Kaufentscheidung erneut bekräftigt. I bought the Traverse for hiking - but so far I've been using the backpack for jogging to and from work. Unexpectedly (that's not actually the backpack's intended purpose), it works wonderfully. You can fit everything in it, from a change of clothes to your laptop. There's also enough air on the back when running, which is an important point when jogging. I also found the system comfortable when hiking. That's why I think the back system is very well done. The backpack is hardly noticeable when hiking and is very comfortable to wear when adjusted correctly. I would also like to highlight the access to the inside via the long zipper. This is the first time I've experienced this with a backpack and it's really worth its weight in gold. You can get to the inside quickly without having to open it at the top. I think the workmanship of the backpack in general is very good, which is why I can't see any negative points at the moment. PS: The last time I was hiking alone, I met three people with the Traverse 30. At least that reaffirmed my decision to buy.

Pro: Der Rucksack trägt sich sehr gut und hat ein gelungenes Tragesystem. Ich habe mehrere Marken getestet und fühle mich im Ortovox mit Abstand am wohlsten (habe übrigens auch den Traverse 40, der nicht so gut sitzt wie der Traverse 30, aber auch noch gut). Habe beide Rucksäcke unabhängig voneinander bei zwei Fernwanderungen über jeweils 10 Tage getestet. Der Tragekomfort ist durchweg gut. Auch das Gewicht von (bei mir nachgewogen) 1080g ist in diesem Zusammenhang super. Rücken, Schulterriemen und Hüftgurt sind sehr stabil, geben Halt und sind gleichzeitig angenehm zu tragen. Pro: Was die Ausstattung angeht, ist für mich auf alle Fälle der lange Reißverschluss das Highlight, weil er ganz oben beginnt und ohne Unterbrechung durchgängig an der Seite entlang und dann am unteren Ende ein bisschen weiter auf die andere Seite verläuft. So lässt sich das Hauptfach nahezu komplett öffnen, wenn der Rucksack vor einem liegt. Ich finde das einfach genial und so weit ich weiß, ist es ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal von Ortovox. Wenn man es einmal in der Praxis ausprobiert hat, möchte man nichts anderes mehr zum Be- und Entladen. Pro: Regenhülle in einem extra Bodenfach ist sinnvoll und am praktischsten Ort platziert. Das ist sehr durchdacht. Contra: Ich mag es zwar, dass der Rucksack direkt am Rücken anliegt, weil er dadurch gut sitzt. Man schwitzt dadurch im Vergleich zu anderen Rucksäcken aber schon etwas mehr und nach einiger Zeit wird dadurch der Innenraum feucht. Wenn man Packsäcke verwendet, ist das nur bedingt problematisch, aber diese färben dann auf den Innenraum ab (was auch keine Tragödie ist). Es ist eine Abwägungssache: Mir ist der gute Tragekomfort und die Gewichtsverteilung nahe am Körper lieber und dafür nehme ich das Schwitzen in Kauf. Contra: Die Vorrichtungen (vier Laschen) für die Helmhalterung sind brauchbar (bitte belassen), aber die Helmhalterung an sich ist (für mich) überflüssig, leider fest in der Tasche vernäht und nimmt Platz weg. Ich habe sie gnadenlos abgeschnitten und habe dafür eine kleine Außentasche mehr. Contra: Die Tasche am Hüftgurt ist zu klein für (größere) Smartphones. Das ist der größte Schwachpunkt, weil ich dort mein Handy am liebsten trage und es so am einfachsten zum Navigieren herausnehmen kann. In der Praxis hat mich das wirklich oft eingeschränkt. Das ist nicht gut durchdacht (wie auch bei einigen anderen Herstellern. Es wundert mich, dass darauf nicht geachtet wird). Ich musste mir mit einer Extratasche behelfen. Contra: Es gibt nur eine Hüfttasche. Liebes Ortovox-Team, bitte, bitte überdenkt hier noch einmal das Design und schenkt dem Nachfolger eine zweite Tasche. Dann wäre der Traverse der perfekte Rucksack (und bei der Überarbeitung bitte keine Einsparungen vornehmen, die sich auf Kosten des Tragekomforts auswirken). Pro: The backpack is very comfortable to wear and has a good carrying system. I have tested several brands and feel most comfortable in the Ortovox by far (I also have the Traverse 40, which doesn't fit as well as the Traverse 30, but is still good). I tested both backpacks independently of each other on two long-distance hikes, each lasting 10 days. The carrying comfort is consistently good. The weight of 1080g (I weighed it) is also great in this context. The back, shoulder straps and hip belt are very stable, provide support and are comfortable to wear at the same time. Pro: In terms of features, the long zipper is definitely the highlight for me, because it starts right at the top and runs continuously along the side and then a little further to the other side at the bottom. This means that the main compartment can be opened almost completely when the backpack is in front of you. I think that's just brilliant and as far as I know, it's a unique selling point of Ortovox. Once you've tried it in practice, you don't want anything else for loading and unloading. Pro: A rain cover in a separate bottom compartment is useful and placed in the most practical place. It's very well thought out. Cons: I like the fact that the backpack sits directly on my back because it means it sits well. However, compared to other backpacks, you do sweat a bit more and after a while the interior gets damp. If you use stuff sacks, this is only a minor problem, but they then rub off on the interior (which isn't a tragedy). It's a matter of weighing things up: I prefer the good wearing comfort and the weight distribution close to the body and I'm willing to put up with the sweating. Cons: The devices (four straps) for the helmet holder are usable (please leave them), but the helmet holder itself is (for me) superfluous, unfortunately sewn firmly into the bag and takes up space. I mercilessly cut it off and have an extra small outside pocket. Cons: The pocket on the hip belt is too small for (larger) smartphones. This is the biggest weakness because that's where I like to carry my phone and it's the easiest way to take it out for navigation. In practice, this really limited me a lot. It's not well thought out (as with some other manufacturers. I'm surprised that they don't pay attention to this). I had to make do with an extra pocket. Cons: There's only one hip pocket. Dear Ortovox team, please, please rethink the design here and give the successor a second pocket. Then the Traverse would be the perfect backpack (and please don't make any savings when redesigning it that would come at the expense of comfort).

Lo zaino è molto bello e confortevole, unica nota negativa la rete delle tasche laterali, usata per riporre la borraccia, dopo l'utilizzo di pochi giorni si sta rompendo. The backpack is very beautiful and comfortable, the only negative note is the mesh of the side pockets, used to store the water bottle, which is breaking after being used for a few days.

Bin ziemlich enttäuscht von der Qualität des Rucksacks. Das Material für die Trinkflaschenhalterung auf der Seite ist überhaupt nicht robust und hat jetzt nach nur wenigen Wanderungen bereits Löcher drin. Darum ist der Rucksack vielleicht für Wanderungen auf Wiesen im Flachland ok, aber nicht für alpine Touren und definitiv nicht zum klettern. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of the backpack. The material for the water bottle holder on the side is not robust at all and already has holes in it after just a few hikes. That's why the backpack might be OK for hikes on meadows in flatland, but not for alpine tours and definitely not for climbing.

Hi Michael, vielen Dank für Deine Bewertung. Wir geben Dein Feedback an unsere Produktabteilung weiter. Dieses hilft uns, uns und unsere Produkte stetig zu verbessern. Unsere Traverse-Linie ist hauptsächlich für das Bergsteigen unterhalb von 3.000 Metern Höhe gedacht. Er ist unser Klassiker unter den Rucksäcken und bei Bergsteigern jeden Alters beliebt. Allerdings haben wir spezielle Rucksäcke für das Klettern im Sortiment, die selbstverständlich noch robuster im Einsatzbereich des Kletterns am Fels sind: Gemeint ist das Modell "TRAD", welches Du hier finden kannst: https://www.ortovox.com/de-de/shop/rucksacke/c35502-rucksacke-zum-klettern Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback und sportliche Grüße,

In Summe ein toller Rucksack mit viel Platz und hohem Tragekomfort. Nutze ihn sowohl zum Bergsteigen, als auch zum Skitouren gehen. Einziger Kritikpunkt, mir geht die Schlaufe für den Pickel ab. Eine Frage an das Ortovox-Team: kann man die Schlaufe nachrüsten oder gibt es alternative Möglichkeiten zur Befestigung? All in all, a great backpack with lots of space and very comfortable to carry. I use it for both mountain climbing and ski touring. My only criticism is that I miss the loop for the ice axe. A question for the Ortovox team: can the loop be retrofitted or are there alternative ways of attaching it?

tldr: Consiglio questo prodotto unicamente a chi utilizza un sistema di idratazione e non si porta appresso materiale tecnico. Tasche laterali inutilizzabili. Qualità e portabilità ottime, accessoriabilità che lascia a desiderare. Posseggo già 2 altri zaini ortovox, trace 25 e haute route 40, che trovo perfetti nella loro applicazione specifica. Essendo alla ricerca di uno zaino da trekking ho allora acquistato senza dubbio alcuno il traverse 30. Forse era meglio se lo avessi guardato più da vicino prima di passare alla cassa... Uno zaino da trekking di questa dimensione deve fare 2 cose: portare vestiti e sussistenza. Per la parte vestiti nulla da dire, molto pratico il tascone esterno per il maglione/giacca da mettere e togliere frequentemente. Non è accettabile che in uno zaino non sia prevista una tasca per una borraccia. Le tasche laterali sono troppo piccole per bottiglia da 1L (si vede anche nell'immagine sopra che il thermos sta per cadere fuori dalla tasca). Addirittura, se lo zaino è pieno, si fa fatica anche a infilare una bottaglia da 0,5. La geometria della tasca è tendenzialmente conica, ho già smarrito una bottiglia, perchè quando lo zaino è pieno fa effetto "calippo" e le cose scivolano verso l'alto. Quando i bastoni sono riposti nel loro laccio e assicurati con le fibbie laterali rendono inutilizzabile la tasca di sinistra. Se gli elastici fossero più verso il retro dello zaino e fosse presente un laccio dedicato nella parte alta sarebbe più comodo. Altra mancanza fastidiosa, non c'è l' occhiello per la piccozza. Non si pretende un sistema come quello del peak, ma un semplice anello come sul trace aumenterebbe di molto la versatilità. Piccozze molto compatte ( tldr: I recommend this product only to those who use a hydration system and don't carry technical gear. The side pockets are unusable. The quality and portability are excellent, but the options for accessories leave much to be desired. I already own two other Ortovox backpacks, the Trace 25 and the Haute Route 40, which I find perfect for their specific applications. Since I was looking for a trekking backpack, I immediately purchased the Traverse 30. Perhaps it would have been better if I had looked at it more closely before checking out... A trekking backpack of this size needs to do two things: carry clothes and sustenance. As for clothing, there's nothing to complain about; the large external pocket for a sweater/jacket that you put on and take off frequently is very practical. It's unacceptable for a backpack not to have a pocket for a water bottle. The side pockets are too small for a 1L bottle (you can also see in the image above that the thermos is about to fall out of the pocket). In fact, if the backpack is full, it's difficult to even fit a 0.5L bottle. The pocket's geometry tends to be conical; I've already lost a bottle because, when the backpack is full, it creates a "calipp" effect and things slide upward. When the poles are stowed in their straps and secured with the side buckles, they make the left pocket unusable. If the elastic bands were further back on the backpack and there was a dedicated strap at the top, it would be more convenient. Another annoying flaw is the lack of an ice axe loop. I'm not expecting a system like the Peak, but a simple loop like the Trace would greatly increase versatility. Very compact ice axes (<40 cm) fit inside the flexible pocket; I haven't found a way to hang them on glacier models. The bottom pocket is extremely small; I usually remove the backpack cover and put a poncho inside, but even one of the most compact ones on the market barely fits inside. It would be nice to be able to use this space for something else. Besides the four side buckles, there's no other system for attaching gear to the outside. This means that three of the five sides are unused (except for the helmet holder). 2/5 instead of 1/5 because it actually carries very well and is lightweight. There's nothing to complain about in terms of quality, but I had no doubts about that when I bought Ortovox. I probably should have opted for a Peak, but the minimum size of 35 seemed excessive for a day bag, and I place a lot of importance on weight.
