Ski Touring & Racing Packs

This pack’s streamlined 15-liter design has all the features you need to blast your way to a podium spot, short of a jetpack or personal training facility at 3,000m. It’s light enough for ru..

The Kohla Space Pack combines one of the fastest race-pack layouts with the wonder material known as Dyneema*. Strong, light, waterproof, you name it.

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." While its predecessor bearing the same name was an instant hit, many noticed and wished it had a dedicated pocket for avalanche gear. Wanting to please the people, CAMP has done just that with this current iteration. With the dedicated avalanche pocket, you can now store your avalanche tools for convenient acc..

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..

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. Sometimes, you need a pack that can attach skis in an A-frame, carry multiple ice axes, and possess a back panel and hip belt that comfortably handles larger loads. It is for these days that we are reaching for the Ortovox Switchback 32. Among the most versati..

The Dynafit FREE 32 Pack seemingly takes from both the lightweight skimo world AND the definitely-not-skimo feature-rich world.

That is, the ability to travel on an airplane, multiple deployments on a single charge, and forgoing the hassle of needing to refill a canister after a single use.

After a full charge, the Litric Tour 28S will have enough power for two deployments, providing a margin o..

Predominantly built using recycled 210D CORDURA fabric, the Reactor Tour 28 UL..

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. But when you're out breaking trail and your backpack is left to bring up the rear, who has your backpack's back? The ARVA Helmet Holder is one candidate. It keeps the lines of your backpack* tight for th..
