The com-pact variant with lift support for a single day in the mountains – or more volume for long days in the backcountry. The base is also compatible with the touring zip-ons. Zip-on Sizes Freeride 16 S Freeride 18  Freeride 26 S Freeride 28  BASE: Thanks to CLASP back technology – the wide, flexible hip belt and soft shoulder straps – the versatile, lightweight FREERIDE BASE sits extremely securely while allowing complete freedom of movement.
