Unlimited freedom of movement: The Ortovox Free Rider 28 has been completely overhauled to fit snugly to the back when freeriding in any terrain.
This is due to the Flat, Elasticated Clasp Flex Belt, which provides control in every situation as well as Reliable Support.
Highlights:
The Freerider 28 is ideal for rappelling into steep gullies or short walking passages, the Free Rider series has All the Necessary Attachment Options for skis, ice axe or rope, not to mention the tried-and-tested helmet net, emergency card and hydration system compatibility.
All the features are well stowed away on the outside to prevent them catching, even when in rough terrain. All models also offer enough space for climbing skins and ski crampons, ensuring extra flexibility on the go.
Softback pads hug the back perfectly without hindering the vertebrae in their movements. On the inside, the back of the backpack can be fitted with the separate Clasp Spine Protector, which is Certified to Motorcycle Standards. It can be slid easily into a separate inner pocket.
In order to optimally adjust the backpack while on the go, it can be quickly compressed using the integrated side straps and folded into a flat, second skin on the back.
Clasp Back System
The Clasp Back System with the elastic Clasp Flex hip belt stands for perfect fit, comfort and flexibility in the Freerider Series.
You can find this Clasp Back System in the following:
The contact pads in the back system are Soft and Comfortable even In Cold Weather, yet allow plenty of Freedom for the vertebrae To Move between the pads.
Sold Separately, The Clasp Spine Protector is a separate spine protector specially designed for Freeride Series backpacks. Capable of withstanding multiple impacts, the Flexible Protector Made From SAS-TEC Foam is concealed in a separate pocket on the inside of the backpacks, ready for use when required.
With no Noticeable Weight Difference or restriction of movement, it offers Maximum Protection of the Spine. During slow force applications, the foam has a cushioning effect thanks to soft compression. In the event of a high-impact or high-speed fall, the foam’s microstructure results
in minimal compression and becomes instantly rigid, providing Optimum Protection for the spine.
The Wide Elastic Clasp Flex hip belt underscores the tight fit of the back system and provides perfect Support and Control in any situation.
In addition, the backpack insert can be adjusted closer to the body’s centre of gravity as required, thanks to Lateral Compression Straps adjacent to the hip belt.
This means the backpack Securely envelops the back without restricting freedom of movement.
To determine your back length, use a tape measure to measure yourself from the top of your hip bone to the very top of your back just before the neck. Use the size guide image in the image gallery to calculate your size.
