From long climbs to steep couloirs: ski tours in alpine terrain require optimum weight and functionality. The answer: SWITCHBACK 30 S/32, a lightweight, technically sophisticated backpack with alpine features for demanding ski tours. Pure performance for rock, ice and snow.

A particularly practical feature: quick access to equipment. Shoulder and hip pockets, a side compartment for crampons, sealskins and ski crampons and a rope are all easily accessible without having to take off the backpack. A carabiner can also be used to attach skis parallel to the backpack while wearing it. 

Emergency equipment and a light ice axe are stored in the separate safety compartment and can be quickly grabbed in an emergency, while all items in the main compartment can be accessed via the fully foldable back. A large separate compartment provides additional storage space on the top of the SWITCHBACK 30 S / 32. Two ice axe holders, a daisy chain, a rope attachment and a helmet net complement the versatile attachment options. 

In case of heavy loads, the ergonomic FULL CONTACT LIGHT BACK SYSTEM distributes the load optimally over the entire back. If the backpack is not too full, the volume can be effectively reduced by means of the A-Skifix 3-point compression straps. Low weight, maximum functionality.
