Product Details

The FREE RIDER 28 sits close to the back without making movement feel restricted. Its flat, elasticated CLASP FLEX BELT helps hold the pack securely, while the soft back pads follow the shape of the back. The fit can also be tightened on the move with integrated side straps, compressing the load into a flatter profile when the terrain gets technical. Inside, a separate pocket accepts the optional CLASP SPINE PROTECTOR, which is certified to motorcycle standards.

Organization is focused on freeride days and short passages on foot. Skis can be carried diagonally or at the sides, while an ice axe, rope, helmet, poles, and snowboard or snowshoes each have dedicated attachment options. A separate safety compartment keeps emergency equipment accessible, and the main compartment opens from the front or back. There is also room for skins and ski crampons, plus hydration-system compatibility, a valuables pocket with key clip, and an emergency card.
