Free Rider 28
$200.00
Description

  The Ortovox Free Rider 28 fits extra snugly against the back when freeriding in any terrain – just like a second skin. This is primarily down to the flat, elasticated CLASP FLEX BELT which provides control in every situation as well as reliable support. The soft back pads hug the back perfectly without restricting the movements of the spine. On the inside, the back of the backpack can be fitted with the CLASP SPINE PROTECTOR (sold separately). This spine protector is certified to motorcycle standards and slides easily into a separate inner pocket. The focus here is both on your safety and on the environment: This freeriding backpack is completely PFC-free and, thanks to the use of recycled polyester, also climate-neutral.

  In order to optimally adjust the backpack while on the go, it can be quickly compressed using the integrated side straps and folded into a flat-fitting second skin on the back. When it comes to rappelling into steep gullies or short walking passages, this freeriding backpack has all the necessary attachment options for skis, an ice axe or rope, not to mention the tried-and-tested helmet net, emergency card and hydration system compatibility. All the features are well stowed away on the outside to prevent them catching, even in difficult terrain.

  This pack also offers enough space for climbing skins and ski crampons, ensuring extra flexibility out on the mountain. Emergency equipment can be neatly stowed away and kept at hand in a separate safety compartment, while all other items in the main compartment are accessible via front or back access. The Free Rider 28 is a versatile companion for maximum flexibility and freedom of movement on skis.

Women’s Hiking Pants That Do It All: Patagonia Quandary Pants Review
  They’re gusseted, with articulated knees for mobility and freedom of movement, and you can roll and secure them with tabs at the calves or knees.   A zippered fly, button closure, and waistbelt with belt loops make these look and feel like traditional hiking pants. And a midrise fit ensures they don’t ride down underneath your backpack’s waist straps.   Patagonia Quandary...

Sherpa Climbers Score Bevy of Himalayan Records in One Week
  Climbing the worlds 14 highest peaks —all located in the Himalayas —has long represented the ultimate objective in alpinism. From K2 to Annapurna, these mountains present some of the toughest mountaineering challenges in the world.   And now theyve been climbed by a teenager.

Frontside Trench Digger: Blizzard Anomaly 102 Skis Review
  Not every skier wants a ski to be easy on them. While other ski brands swap metal for carbon and soften things up to appeal to a wider audience, Blizzard has kept expert carving skiers happy with stiff, damp all-mountain skis.   The Blizzard Anomaly lineup promises a slightly more forgiving ski. But fans of their previous models will be relieved...
‘Super Blade’ Claims 10x Stronger, Sharper Steel: DiamondBlade Knives Summit Folder Review

Lightweight Frontside Overachiever: Renoun Endurance 98 All-Mountain Skis Review
  Ski construction hasn’t seen a ton of game-changing innovations since shape skis came out. Sure, every year new skis come out that combine carbon, metal, wood, and plastic in unique ways, but nothing earth-shattering.   Direct-to-consumer, Renoun uses a non-Newtonian polymer (I’ll attempt to explain later) to give their skis variable vibration damping. And they have a case for being the...
