Arc'teryx Quintic 16L Backpack
Meet your fast-lap rig: a compact, stable 16 L freeride pack built for riders who like clean lines and zero faff. The Arc’teryx Quintic 16 hugs your back with an ergonomic S-curve panel and light internal frame, keeping the load centered whether you’re carving under the lift or booting up a chute. A full back-panel zip gives quick access to layers and avy tools without snow filling the main compartment.
The build is classic Arc’teryx—N400r AC² laminated ripstop in the wet zones, N420p Cordura for abrasion, and taped seams for stormproof durability. There’s a microfleece goggle pocket, diagonal ski and vertical board carry options, a helmet sling, and a hydration sleeve for longer pushes. At just under 940 grams, it’s tough, clean, and purpose-built for freeride laps, heli drops, and short tours where stability matters more than volume.
Who it’s for
Skiers and snowboarders who want a sleek, bombproof daypack for resort storm days, bootpacks, and sidecountry lines. Ideal for those who pack smart and move fast—think minimal gear, max flow.
What’s new vs. the previous 16L Arc’teryx ski pack
-
Better access: Full back-panel entry replaces the older side/top zip design—faster, cleaner, less snow in your gear.
-
Improved fit: The new S-curve back panel hugs tighter for a more balanced, stable ride.
-
Upgraded materials: Stronger N420p Cordura and N400r AC² fabrics replace lighter denier textiles, trading a few grams for a big durability boost.
-
Hydration-ready: A proper hose port and sleeve—missing on older models—make this one ready for all-day missions.
-
More structure: Slightly heavier but more robust, with added shape retention and support under load.
Bottom line: The Quintic 16 is a freeride pack with stormproof armor, stealth access, and refined carry. Tougher, smarter, and sleeker than its predecessor—it’s made for riders who prefer tight lines, quick laps, and zero fluff.
