Ortovox Haute Route 38 S Backpack

Choose the Ortovox Haute Route 38 S backpack for demanding ski tours. A 38-litre model ideal for smaller users, it has a short back length to improve carrying comfort.

The O-Flex-2 back system includes load control straps, an S-shaped stabiliser, and wrap-around hip fins to distribute weight evenly. A central foam cut-out saves weight and improves ventilation. Made from Cordura and 420 denier polyamide, the PFC-free fabrics have a PU coating for increased water and abrasion resistance.

For packing versatility, you can open the main compartment from the top or rear. Inside, there’s room for a hydration bladder, while the light-coloured fabric lining makes items easier to spot. The separate front compartment is sized to fit a shovel and probe, ensuring quick access to your emergency equipment. There are side and diagonal ski fastenings plus snowboard and snowshoe attachment points. An integrated helmet net, rope, crampon, and ice axe loops keep climbing equipment secure. With plenty of space for your layers, safety kit, food, and water, the Haute Route 38 S has your ski touring needs sorted.
