Blue Ice Kume Pack

The 40L size is primarily designed for long, gear-intensive day missions. While it can handle a fast-and-light overnight trip if you are disciplined with your packing, it is best suited for carrying extra layers, safety gear, and climbing equipment for a full day in the backcountry.

The dedicated snow safety pocket is designed to keep your shovel and probe separate from your main gear compartment. It is built with durable, water-resistant materials, but like any pack, you should dry your gear out thoroughly after each trip to prevent moisture buildup.

Yes, the Kume is engineered for versatility. It features dedicated, secure attachment points for ice tools and multiple carry options for skis, allowing you to transport all your technical equipment securely during complex alpine approaches.

The hip belt is integrated into the pack's suspension system to ensure stability during movement, so it is not designed to be removed. It does, however, include convenient hip pockets for quick access to snacks or small essentials.

Yes, the Kume is hydration compatible. It includes an internal sleeve and routing for a hose, allowing you to stay hydrated without stopping to unpack your gear.

The pack features a quick-access rope pocket designed to keep your rope secure and easily deployable. This setup keeps the weight centered close to your back, which is crucial for maintaining balance while climbing or skinning.
