Ultralight 40L Guide backpack























Ultralight 40L Guide backpack
Developed with mountain guides. Prepared for the mountains.
Years of working alongside mountain guides has helped us shape this backpack. Designed around the demands of alpine use, it brings together the details, features and functionality needed for winter climbing, ice climbing, ski mountaineering and high-altitude guiding.
A lightweight, versatile setup for long days in technical terrain, where efficient gear organisation and quick access matter.
The frameless construction keeps the pack lightweight, flexible and close to the body. It moves naturally with you through technical terrain, without the bulk or restriction of a traditional frame system.
