Description
xOverview
The Ortovox Traverse 18L S is a compact alpine backpack designed for climbers who need an ergonomic fit on shorter backs (36–44 cm). Its lightweight construction pairs with a tailored silhouette to keep the pack close to your torso as you move across rocky terrain, scree, or light snowfields.
Designed for shorter backs
The S-Backpack system features thinner shoulder straps and an S-shaped profile, along with shorter conical hip fins, to deliver all-day comfort for both men and women within the 36–44 cm back-length range.
Comfort and airflow
The Comfort Contact back system uses soft, contoured pads to promote airflow and reduce heat buildup during sustained climbs, approaches, and rapid movement.
Smart storage and quick access
A circumferential zipper provides fast entry to the main compartment. Inside and outside pockets, a valuables compartment with a key holder, an inner zip pocket, and two elastic side pockets help you stay organized.
- Dedicated soft flask pocket for hydration on the move
- Sunglasses holder and helmet net for essential protection and convenience
Functional gear features
Additional features include a rain cover, hiking pole attachment points, compression straps, and gear loops for adaptable carrying across varied alpine days. The pack integrates 75% recycled polyamide for a durable, more sustainable build.
Why this size and fit work in practice
On day-long ascents or short glacial routes, the Traverse 18L stays stable close to your back, supporting a balanced load while you focus on your line. The result is a versatile companion that adapts to changing weather and terrain.
