Ortovox Haute Route 40 Ski Pack

The Haute Route has been around nearly as long as ski touring itself, and it's earned its reputation by working well on long, demanding objectives season after season. At 40L it covers everything from a big day tour to a multi-day hut traverse without asking you to compromise on what you bring.

The O-Flex 2 back system is the reason guides have used this pack for years. An S-shaped stabilizer distributes load between hips and shoulders across long days with heavy kit, and the hip fins wrap inside the back system for seamless body contact rather than sitting on top of it. Load control cords dial in the fit under a moving load. At 1,420g for a 40L pack with a proper frame, it's impressively light. The fabric is double-layered 420D Cordura Nylon Oxford with PU coating throughout. 

Access is top and back, which means you can get into the main compartment without laying the pack down on wet snow. Dedicated safety compartment for beacon, probe, and shovel. Eight compartments total handle layers, food, technical gear, rope, maps, and anything else a serious day or multi-day tour demands. Diagonal and side ski attachment, wide ski fastener up to 150mm, snowboard and snowshoe attachment, crampon attachment, ice axe and pole holder, fixed helmet net, gear loops, map pocket, hydration compatible. There's also a Bright Inside lining so you can actually find things at the bottom of the bag.
