A low-profile and purpose-built pack for backcountry tours or hut trips. The quickly accessible front pocket stows avalanche or emergency geart. The Alpine carry system keeps weight close to your back, so you stay nimble and balanced. While it's a ski-specific design, it has climber friendly details including a removable cushioned "bum pad" for seated belays and a slight profile that suits climbing or scrambling. Built for those with a smaller frame, and is great for shorter torsos.
