Peak Light 38 S (Fall 2022)
Ortovox
Peak Light 38 S (Fall 2022)
$157.50
Description

  The Peak Light 38 S is Ortovox's alpine lightweight and your companion for demanding alpine tours. It is extremely light, technical and functional thanks to a climate-controlling SWISSWOOL TEC KNIT back system. With a packing volume of 38 liters, this backpack provides sufficient space for multi-day ski tours – without compromising on comfort.

  The Peak Light 38 S alpine touring backpack is specially tailored for people with shorter backs and thus sits perfectly. This backpack is very robust yet incredibly light thanks to the use of particularly tear and abrasion resistant Nylon 420D Oxford material. This nylon fabric is one of the lightest materials that Ortovox uses for their backpacks. The material is also water-resistant thanks to its PU coating.

  The triangular construction of the lid allows for variable adjustment with rope fastening without slippage. The lid is completely removable or storable in the main compartment. When stored in the main compartment, the lid’s zipper can still be easily opened. The lid compartment has two sections. Taped seams make the lid completely waterproof.

  And Ortovox has integrated additional important features: The Peak Light comes with a rope and ice axe fixation, load control cords, helmet net, material loops, hip pocket, a map compartment and a circumferential zipper for quick, front access to the main compartment. Safety equipment is held securely inside by means of a safety attachment. In addition, standard Ortovox pack features include an emergency card, chest strap with signal whistle, compression strap, bright interior color, hydration system compatibility and a ski holder. These clever features, low weight and the innovative back system make the Peak Light a highly functional alpine touring backpack where doing without means greater functionality.

  WARNING for California customers: This product can expose you to chemicals including dimethylformamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

    SWISSWOOL-TEC-KNIT back system
    The SWISSWOOL-TEC-KNIT BACK SYSTEM stands for the innovative synthesis of a TECHNICAL FOAM BACK with HEAT-PRESSED SWISS WOOL covered with a 3D HIGH-TECH KNITTED FABRIC. The wool pads are used in the zones that come into contact with the back, storing large volumes of moisture without feeling wet.

    SCALED DOWN TO REDUCE WEIGHT
    The PEAK LIGHT combines STABILITY, WEAR COMFORT and a LIGHT WEIGHT. The total weight of 1100 g* can be reduced by a further 380 g* by simply removing the TOP, HIP FINS, WIRE FRAME FOR THE BACK and other external fastening options. A minimal 720 grams* of weight thus widens the range of use, from long alpine tours to pitch after alpine pitch.

    * +/- 4% due to production and material fluctuations.

This Ski Resort Just Recorded One of the Largest In-Bounds Avalanches in Its History
  Mother Nature has provided another reminder that avalanches can occur on either side of a ski resorts boundary.   Earlier this week, patrollers at Colorados Steamboat Resort published images and video of a massive avalanche that swept down four closed runs on the morning of Wednesday, November 27. Nobody was injured in the slide, which occurred near the summit of 10,570-foot...

Front Basket, E-Assist, Just Add Kiddo: Urban Arrow Family Cargo Line Bike Review
  While Urban Arrow electric cargo bikes have been around for well over a decade now, this latest one with Boschs Smart System is the most refined yet.

Pittsburgh Newest Bouldering Gym Is in a Public Park—and It’s Free

The park boasts more than 100 problems, ranging in difficulty from VB to V10+, which will be reset twice...
ATV Versatility Meets UTV Utility: 2025 Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 Review
  Why have four wheels when you can have six? Bigger is almost always better, right? The Polaris Sportsman 66 570 certainly isnt a little machine.   I wasnt initially sure how Id feel about an ATV with so much additional length. In the area I tend to rip around in, being nimble is a requirement for an ATV. Honestly, my first...
How Can I Make Off-Season Strength Training More Fun?
  Every Sunday afternoon I sit down in my home office prepping for next week’s clients directly in front of one of my favorite quotes:   “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”   While George Bernard Shaw has many famous expressions, the words “grow old” in this particular quote could be replaced by any...
Mountain Bike Bends Around Turns, Literally: Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70 AXS Review
  Mountain bike design, especially suspension, involves managing tradeoffs. Weight, price, suspension travel characteristics, handling, and even pedal height (to avoid pedal strikes) must all be considered. The final set of compromises hopefully aligns with the designers original mission statement for the bike.   Rocky Mountain may have never received that memo, as its Instinct Carbon 70 AXS made it difficult to...

Need Reading Glasses But Don’t Want to Look Old? You’re in Luck.
  As a touring bluegrass musician, Tim Parr was passing through Malibu, California in 2017 when he decided to shop for reading glasses. At age 49, the outdoor industry veteran who’d worked at Patagonia and founded a bike company (Swobo) had never worn glasses before. But, Parr says, his younger band members had been giving him a hard time for having...
Is America’s Next Great Thru-Hike in Texas?
  What does an experienced politician, bicycling advocate, and native Texan do to fill up their time when they retire? If you’re Charles Gandy, you try to create a Texas version of the Pacific Crest Trail. Gandy is spearheading efforts to develop the xTx trail, a 1,500-mile thru-hike that crosses Texas from Orange to El Paso. We chatted with Gandy to...
Pro Skier Turns Nurse: TNF Athlete Muses on Career Changes, Self-Expression in ‘The War on Style’
  After podiuming at the Freeride World Tour, Hank Bilous wanted a change of pace. So, he decided to pursue a different passion for a while — medicine — and became a nurse. Both careers require extremely technical skill sets, and both frequently deal with life-and-death risks.   How did he translate his own self-expression from one to the other? And what does...
