ALL-ROUNDER FOR SKI MOUNTAINEERS

Highly technical, lightweight backpack for demanding ski tours

Highlights

  • The most important items of equipment can be stowed or retrieved without having to remove the backpack
  • Features tailored to ski touring
  • Very lightweight, minimalist and compact

From long ascents to steep couloirs: Ski tours in alpine terrain require optimum weight and function. The answer: The SWITCHBACK 30 S / 32, a lightweight, technically sophisticated backpack with alpine features for demanding ski tours. Pure performance for rock, ice and snow. 

One especially practical feature: quick access to equipment. Shoulder and hip pockets, a side compartment for crampons, climbing skins and ski crampons, and a rope can all be easily accessed without having to remove the backpack. A carabiner can also be used to attach skis parallel to the backpack while it is being worn. 

Emergency equipment and a light ice axe stored in the separate safety compartment can be quickly grabbed in an emergency, while all items in the main compartment can be accessed via the fully fold-out back. A large, separate compartment provides additional space in the upper part of the SWITCHBACK 30 S / 32 . Two ice axe holders, a daisy chain, a rope attachment and a helmet net complement the versatile attachment options. 

When heavily loaded, the ergonomic FULL CONTACT LIGHT BACK SYSTEM distributes the load optimally across the back. If the backpack is not too full, the volume can be effectively reduced using the A-Skifix 3-point compression straps. Low weight, maximum function.
