Free Rider 28
$200.00
Description

  The Ortovox Free Rider 28 fits extra snugly against the back when freeriding in any terrain – just like a second skin. This is primarily down to the flat, elasticated CLASP FLEX BELT which provides control in every situation as well as reliable support. The soft back pads hug the back perfectly without restricting the movements of the spine. On the inside, the back of the backpack can be fitted with the CLASP SPINE PROTECTOR (sold separately). This spine protector is certified to motorcycle standards and slides easily into a separate inner pocket. The focus here is both on your safety and on the environment: This freeriding backpack is completely PFC-free and, thanks to the use of recycled polyester, also climate-neutral.

  In order to optimally adjust the backpack while on the go, it can be quickly compressed using the integrated side straps and folded into a flat-fitting second skin on the back. When it comes to rappelling into steep gullies or short walking passages, this freeriding backpack has all the necessary attachment options for skis, an ice axe or rope, not to mention the tried-and-tested helmet net, emergency card and hydration system compatibility. All the features are well stowed away on the outside to prevent them catching, even in difficult terrain.

  This pack also offers enough space for climbing skins and ski crampons, ensuring extra flexibility out on the mountain. Emergency equipment can be neatly stowed away and kept at hand in a separate safety compartment, while all other items in the main compartment are accessible via front or back access. The Free Rider 28 is a versatile companion for maximum flexibility and freedom of movement on skis.

  WARNING for California customers: This product can expose you to chemicals including dimethylformamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

$100,000 Reward: Groups Offer Huge Sum in Wolf Killing
  Colorado is at the center of a wildlife controversy. In August 2024, Parks and Wildlife were working to relocate the Copper Creek Pack from the area where they had been preying on livestock.

Salewa Drops Into U.S. With First Ski Kit: Sella Free 3L Powertex Review
  The 2024/25 ski season started in earnest overnight in Colorado. With 2 feet of fresh snow on the ground, I couldn’t help but cave to my powder addiction.

Are Wool Socks Really the Best Choice for Winter Wear?
  Having tested outdoor gear as my main gig for over a decade, I am used to finding myself on the same side as the experts when it comes to gear advice.
