Ortovox Switchback 30 S bag 2024

A versatile backpack for ski mountaineering

From long ascents to steep couloirs: Ski tours in alpine terrain require optimum weight and function. The answer: The SWITCHBACK 30 S, a lightweight, technically sophisticated backpack with alpine features for demanding ski tours. Pure performance for rock, ice and snow. One especially practical feature: quick access to equipment. Shoulder and hip pockets, a side compartment for crampons, climbing skins and ski crampons, and a rope can all be easily accessed without having to remove the backpack. A carabiner can also be used to attach skis parallel to the backpack while it is being worn.

Full contact light back system
When heavily loaded, the ergonomic full contact light back system distributes the load optimally across the back. If the backpack is not too full, the volume can be effectively reduced using the A-Skifix 3-point compression straps. Low weight, maximum function.
