For full days of climbing and skiing in avalanche country, this motion-friendly pack includes an integrated AvaLung, so it’s on board if needed. The unique Y-rod suspension and dynamic, thermoform back panel, hip belt and shoulder straps complement, rather than hinder, the motions of skiing. Its expandable, top-loading design features a side-access panel for grabbing gear on the fly. The 420d nylon fabric and 1300d Ballistic reinforcements offer water-shedding, long-wearing performance.

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.
