Discription:
Designed over years of dreaming and testing packs on the market the Off Piste is our first ski touring pack. We wanted to create a pack that could be used all season from daily touring to overnight hut trips, to alpine missions in the spring. Following our classic design philosphy the Off Piste is as simple as possible without emitting the features needed to take you and your gear high and far.
The pack is a roll top design with a zipper pocket on top for a radio or tools. The production version of the pack will have a vertical zipper down the right side panel of the pack to allow access to the pack while it is still rolled. There is a CSM (formerly hypalon) iceaxe/tool cover on the center of the pack where the current San Util tag is.
If you want to hard carry a board, make sure to purchase our additional strap.
We are working on developing our own helmet net. In the meantime, any net that has g-hook connections will work with this pack (attaching to the vertical daisy chains).
Picking Fabrics:
Like all things in life there are pros and cons of each fabric. When choosing fabrics, think about your daily use and pick accordingly. We are trying to expand our Cordura line as we get further in 2024, but the EPX and ULTRA lines will stay the same.
