Raide Research 35UL Ski Pack
A fast, light ski touring pack for big days where every gram counts. The 35UL is built from fully waterproof ALUULA® Graflyte and weighs just 800g, or 720g with the frame removed. It still has everything you need for serious backcountry days: quick avy tool access, four ways to carry skis, and a rolltop that expands from 35L to 40L when you need more room.
Ultralight Construction
Raide stripped out everything that wasn’t essential and used the lightest materials available. The body is ALUULA® Graflyte A125, a 100% UHWPE fabric that’s fully waterproof, and the rolltop is the even lighter Graflyte 97. A removable 7mm aluminum frame adds support for heavier loads and comes out when you want to go as light as possible.
Avalanche Tool Storage
Raide’s patented avy pocket keeps your shovel and probe organized and easy to reach without taking off your pack, so you’re not digging through the main compartment in an emergency. It fits shovels up to 12" wide.
Four Ways to Carry Skis
Carry diagonally (in three positions), A-frame, skimo style, or with a vertical snowboard carry. The A-frame and vertical carries attach to the frame for extra stability.
Built for Changing Conditions
The rolltop and cinchtop combine to create a wet/dry divider, so wet skins stay separate from your dry layers. The waterproof rolltop stows away when you don’t need it, and a quick-access top zipper gets you into the main compartment fast. Back-panel access lets you reach gear at the bottom of the pack too.
