Being 15x stronger than steel and light enough to float on water, Dyneema is the perfect material for alpine adventures requiring high durability and weight savings. Built for extended day tours, hut trips, and anything in between, the Raide Research LF 40L pack harnesses the benefits of Dyneema to provide high functionality with minimal weight. With a removable aluminum frame, you'll be able to comfortably carry larger loads but have the option of removing the frame for ultralight missions. The separate safety compartment has been purposefully designed for quick access when needed while an individual probe pocket provides access without needing to remove the pack. The back panel is designed to encourage airflow while the zippered back panel access provides easy accessibility to needed items. While 40L is ample storage for many adventures, the rolltop closure allows the pack to be extended to 50L, making this perhaps the perfect companion for hut trips or other overnight adventures. Finally, the Ultra 400 TX Dyneema fabric is made to last and waterproof, ensuring both it and your pack's contents remain protected. From extended day tours in Colorado to hut trips in Montana, the LF 40L will do it all.

  • Rolltop closure system allows the pack to be extended to 50L for overnight missions.
  • Back panel access provides an easy way to quickly pick out a needed item.
  • Back panel has been designed to increase airflow and decrease a sweaty back.
  • Quick carry, a-frame, and diagonal ski carry options allow you to select the best carry method for your specific situation.
  • Dyneema Ultra 400 TX fabric is waterproof and built to withstand harsh environments.
  • Independent ice tool carry keeps the picks covered to prevent them from snagging.
  • Separate safety compartments for the shovel and probe provide quick access when needed and are self-draining.
  • Vertical snowboard carry is on deck if you are into that sorta thing.
  • Integrated helmet carry allows your noggin to be protected on the descent.
  • Removable frame allows you to shed weight for long alpine missions.
  • Plenty of stash pockets allow you to quickly stow and access needed items.
  • Ice clipper loop makes spring glacier travel more convenient.

Kinda seems like they took a great simple ski pack and added a bunch of unnecessary features.(zippers all over the place) Its a bummer they got rid of the gear loop and the metal buckle on the waist strap. Hopefully they also got rid of all the other buckles and added something a bit more user friendly, The UL buckles on the top compression straps and helmet carry have a tendency to get clogged with wet snow (Pnw bb) and in my experience be challenging to clear quickly. I replaced the helmet carry buckle with a G hook because of this.
I put the first gen pack through the wringer last season after getting it in January,Easily putting over a hundred days on it and i wouldn't have changed any of the features they did. But I guess Im just a ski bum not a product designer.
Time will tell about these so called improvements.

Bum they added zippers for the shovel and probe. Unnecessary, adds a little weight, increases complexity of the design, and creates points of possible failure.
