Blue Ice Taka 30L Pack

Blue Ice has built a reputation for crafting lightweight, durable, and highly functional gear—and the Taka 30L Pack is no exception. A favorite among Skimo staffers, this pack brings together a sleek design and thoughtfully crafted feature set made specifically for ski mountaineering missions.

Minimalist in appearance but loaded with smart features, the Taka 30L includes a secure zippered crampon pouch, a separate side-access rope compartment, and a dedicated avalanche tool pocket—all designed to keep your gear organized and within easy reach. Inspired by skimo racing, the pack also includes a soft flask pouch and a quick-carry ski hook system, making transitions fast and efficient without needing to remove your pack.

Despite its clean design, the Taka 30L offers ample space for longer days in the backcountry. Multiple compartments and internal organization options allow you to divide and quickly access the gear you need. The full-length back panel entry adds convenience to snatch a deeply buried item. With its minimalist design and small footprint, the Taka 30 carries well and moves with you on the descent, with no extra bits and bobs to get hung up on tree branches or rocks.

Constructed from durable fabrics, the Taka 30L strikes the perfect balance between weight and durability and is built to last many seasons of touring and mountaineering.
