Sliding on fresh snow, crampons on your feet and ice axe in hand, your heart pounding with excitement at the alpine challenges. This is where the Switchback 30 S by Ortovox excels, designed to meet the needs of ski touring enthusiasts. This technical and lightweight backpack is your ideal ally during demanding ascents, thanks to its optimized design for performance on rock, ice, and snow.
In the field, functionality is king. The Switchback 30 S allows ultra-fast access to your gear, even without removing the backpack. The shoulder and hip pockets, the side compartment for crampons and other essentials, and the safety pocket for your rescue equipment are all assets to stay efficient and focused on your goal. Additionally, the ski attachment using a carabiner is done in a flash.
With its FULL CONTACT LIGHT BACK ergonomic system, this backpack distributes the load optimally, even when heavily loaded, for maximum comfort. And when the backpack is less filled, the three-point compression straps allow you to reduce the volume, for an ever lighter and more dynamic adventure. Ortovox knows what you need to live your passion without compromise.
