Top of PageBackpacks are a vital piece of equipment for any off-piste skier or boarder. Comfort and space for all your essential gear are the main things to look for in a backpack. The choice on offer is large and can seem confusing, but with our range of backpacks you can definitely find something to suit all needs, from tiny lightweight packs for bombing around the resort right up to large multi-day alpine packs. A number of bags also come included with a hydration pack to keep you going throughout the day.
This section focuses on the smaller range of backpacks, used for short trips off-piste and resort riding. Of course they can also be used for all manner of other activities such as hiking and mountain-biking.
Take a look at this comparison table for more information on our full range of backpacks.
The Powder Rider and the Race Rider are both small lightweight options that won't hinder you at all on the mountain. At 18 and 20 litres respectively they have enough room for your essentials, including space for your avalanche safety gear. There is now a new version of the Powder Rider available for the 2008/09 season, the Powder Rider II.
The 20L Cross Rider is a little bulkier but features excellent fasteners for either skis or a snowboard, which are very handy if your planning on hiking for some powder or even just walking to the lifts.
Another new addition to the Ortovox range
is the Ski Plus. This has been designed with ski touring in mind, and is great for a day in the backcountry. The Free Rider 24L is another new model and is aimed, as the name suggests, at free-ride skiers and boarders.
All the packs in the Ortovox range are designed to fit a hydration pack, as well as having pockets for your avalanche shovel and probe.
New to our backpack range are these great packs from the off-piste specialists Back Country Access.
Designed to fit all your off-piste essentials, but give as little hindrance to your riding as possible, we have Stash and Stash Rider and Stash Diva models. All have 16litre capacity and come with integrated hydration pack. The Stash is aimed at skiers and the Stash Rider at snowboarders, while the Diva is designed specifically for women.
We sell the ever popular Dakine Heli Pro backpacks - there are two models Small Heli Pro and Large Heli Pro. Designed for both off-piste skiers and snowboarders, the trendy design and handy features have ensured the popularity of this backpack.
The Axis by Dakine is a handy 11 litre pack that comes with hydration pack included and is perfect for a hard day shredding the resort.
