Overview

Meet the Ortovox Haute Route S 30L Backpack in Black Raven, a compact 30-liter pack built for backcountry ski tours and mountaineering. It uses durable, water‑resistant materials to withstand windy ridgelines and snowy decks, while keeping your essentials organized and protected.

Comfort that travels with you

The O‑Flex‑2 back system with an S‑shaped stabilizer is designed to move with you. The ergonomic fit distributes weight evenly between hips and shoulders, helping you stay balanced on uneven terrain. Integrated hip fins wrap around the torso for a secure silhouette, enabling comfortable carries on long days with gear for through‑sun and through‑snow missions.

Smart storage for fast access

Two main compartments are laid out for quick access when skis or a rope are attached to the top of the pack. A helmet net, side and diagonal ski fastening, snowboard/snowshoe and crampon attachments, plus a map pocket, give you versatile ways to organize gear and reach what you need without removing the pack.

A separate safety compartment is designed for avalanche safety gear such as probes and shovels, providing rapid access when it matters most.
