Ortovox Haute Route 35L Snow Pack:
Part of the Tour line from Ortovox, the Haute Route 35 is a full-featured pack for extended day cruises. The outer most safety compartment houses all you avi gear, including avalanche probe, shovel handle and shovel blade. Bright red zipper pulls identify this pocket for quick access. Two perimeter zippers on the front and back of the pack give you unparallel options on accessing your gear. If you are carrying your skis or snowboard across your back panel, no worries, you can get to you stuff by access it through the back panel. The back panel itself was developed in part by a team of doctors who created the O-Flex Frame. This suspension system helps distribute the load between the shoulders and the hips and its aluminum frame can be bent to fit your back. If that wasn’t enough, using various attachment points, the Haute Route 35 gives you flexibility on how you can attach you skis, snowboard and helmet. If you are traveling on a glacier, a hip belt gear loop keeps the ice screws, prusiks and cordelettes handy. And regardless of where you travel, you can add an aftermarket hydration reservoir to keep you in the game. A worthy nod to the famous ski tour the Haute Route, the Ortovox Haute Route 35 is a fitting tribute as one of the best ski backpacks you will ever own.
