Ortovox Switchback Backpack

Yes, 25L is the sweet spot for fast-and-light alpine missions. It comfortably holds your essential safety gear, extra layers, and snacks without adding unnecessary bulk that would hinder your movement on technical terrain.

It is designed for efficiency. You can reach into the side pocket to grab or stow your crampons without taking the pack off your back, which is a significant advantage when you are transitioning on steep, exposed slopes.

The pack features dual-entry access, including a back panel entry. This allows you to lay the pack down on the snow and access your gear without getting the shoulder straps wet or snowy.

Yes, it is hydration compatible. You will find an internal sleeve and routing for your hose, keeping your water accessible during long ascents.

The pack is constructed from Cordura, which is highly abrasion-resistant. It is built to withstand contact with sharp rock, ice, and ski edges, making it reliable for demanding alpine environments.

Absolutely. It includes dedicated, secure attachment points specifically designed for skis, ropes, and ice axes, ensuring your gear stays stable and balanced while you are climbing or skiing.
