Four pads create a gap between the athlete’s back and the backpack for better ventilation, while the waist belt is equipped with a double inverse adjustable system for better positioning. Lightweight and resistant, it is developed with the ‘Back Door’ opening system, which allows easy access to each level of the backpack. It is also equipped with the ‘Xpress Evo’ ski carrying system to quickly attach and remove skis without removing the pack, two side mesh pockets for sealskins and pockets on the waist belt and shoulder strap.

The shoulder straps and back are particularly breathable and the waist belt is equipped with a double and inverse adjustable system. It is also developed with the ‘Back door’ and ‘Xpress Evo’ systems.

It is designed to accommodate two pairs of skis is equipped with an isotherm sleeve for a drinking tube, attachment points for a hydration bladder and a detachable inner pocket.
