To streamline off-piste travel, this low-profile Covert includes an integrated AvaLung. The pack is built from tough, water-shedding 420d nylon and 1300d Ballistic reinforcements using a clamshell design for easy gear access. On the exterior, an adjustable ski/board attachment system, ice tool loops, compression straps and a pocket let you conveniently carry your essentials, and the right shoulder strap features a zippered hydration tube pocket.

The Avalung system allows you to breath fresh air directly from the snowpack in case you are in an avalanch. If you enjoy the backcountry, avalanches are always a possiblilty. It makes perfect sense to have this system integrated in your pack, just in case you end up burried. It is a wonder no one thought of this sooner.
