Raide’s rule is that a ski pack without back panel access isn’t worth carrying, so they built the lightest one they could that still has it. At 765g (685g with the frame removed) it opens fully from the back, so you can get to anything in the main compartment no matter how your skis are strapped on. The avalanche tools have their own quick-access pocket, and it fits shovels up to 12" wide.
The body is ALUULA Graflyte A125, a woven UHMWPE fabric (Dyneema family) that’s fully waterproof, with a lighter Graflyte roll top. The weight savings come at a cost: it’s less tough than a heavier pack fabric, so give it a bit of care around ski edges and sharp rock. The 7mm aluminum frame pulls out when you want to drop weight for a short tour, or stays in when you’re carrying more.
The roll top expands from 25L to 30L, and the roll top and cinch closure create a wet/dry divider that’s handy for skins. A quick-access top zip reaches the main compartment without opening the whole pack. There are two zippered pockets, a radio and hydration pass-through port, ice tool carry, lashing points, and four ways to carry skis. Shoulder straps have 5mm of foam padding.
It’s one size, fitting back lengths of 45 to 56 inches (base of neck to top of hip bone), and it’s meant for efficient half days and shorter objectives where you’re carrying tools, a shell, food, and not much else.
