Since you're working hard, this pack has an Airmesh back panel a..

The Rapid is the brother of the world-renowned Rapid Racing pack; this version has a higher emphasis on day-to-day use outside of a race course. Built with more durable fabric, the Rapid is an excellent pack for everything from training to long days accessing technical lines.

Long used in distance running, “running vests” give an individual the ability to explore the furthest reaches of wilderness due to the extra goodies that can be brought along, without the bulky restrictive feeling of a pack. Because of this, the good folks at La Sportiva created the Course pack, which combines the comfort of a running vest with the simplistic functionality of a ski..

The Ski Raptor 20 is the embodiment of, "Ask for and you shall receive."

The original Ski Raptor Pack from CAMP toed the line nicely between a higher volume freeride pack but with the slick skimo features to make even the baggiest of pant wearing park rats feel like Kilian Jornet. Once again CAMP has outdone themselves with the Ski Raptor 20 Pack, a sleeker lower volume version of the Ski Raptor 30 Pack built for shorter missions. New ventilated back pa..

From accordions to armadillos, it is clear that an expandable-collapsible design can be useful. Dynafit has recognized this wisdom in their Speed 25+3 Pack.

This might come in handy carrying an extra puffy for ..

While booting often feels like crawling up the fiery slopes of Mount Doom, th..

One of the (very) few drawbacks of the amazing X3-600 pack is that gear on the bottom of the top loader can be hard to access. Well now CAMP has enabled you to go in through the back door. A secret zippered panel has been installed on the back for more direct access to that important stuff you accidentally packed first. And since the designers were already adding a few grams, they ..

There are two types of pack-wearing individuals; those who use just one pack for all their backcountry needs and those that have a pack for every subset of touring (e.g., a race pack, mountaineering pack, freeride pack, beer pack, etc…).

Here at Skimo Co, we love our ultralight race packs. But the reality is, for some missions, 20 liters just isn't enough.

It is for these days that we are reaching for the Ortovox Switchback 32. Among the most versati..

Backpacks are like best friends that hug you and keep you safe. They've always got your back and, as long as you remember to bring them along, will be there for you no matter what.
