Ortovox Traverse 30L Alpine Climbing Backpack – Black Raven | 30 Liter

All-day support for bold climbs

The Ortovox Traverse 30L is built for climbers who want a pack that moves with them across rocky slabs and snowy bootpacks. At 30 liters, it balances storage and maneuverability, letting you pack essentials like a shell, mid-layer, hydration, and safety gear without turning your ascent into a chore.

From approach to summit, the bag's streamlined silhouette reduces snag points on technical terrain while keeping required gear accessible. The choice of lightweight materials helps you stay fast on foot, and heavy-duty construction ensures resilience against abrasions and weathering.

Comfort and airflow in action

The Comfort Contact Back System incorporates soft contour pads that sit against your back, promoting airflow as you move. This design reduces heat buildup during long approaches and hot days on exposed ridges. The back panel follows your torso for a secure, stable fit.
