Osprey Sopris 40L Ski & Snowboard Backpack – Black

The Osprey Sopris 40L Ski and Snowboard Backpack is built for backcountry ambition. It’s the largest technical pack in the Sopris line, designed with overnight hut tours in mind, yet versatile enough for day missions as conditions demand. The backpack blends durable, lightweight construction with a stable, women’s-specific fit to stay comfortable during gruelling ascents and dynamic descents. A front panel pocket keeps avalanche safety gear within easy reach, while the top and backpanel openings provide two efficient routes into a dry main storage compartment. This high-volume snow pack supports both ski and snowboard configurations, with newly enlarged ski loops to accommodate wider planks, a sewn-in helmet net, and improved buckles that can be operated with gloves on. In line with responsible gear design, bluesign® approved fabrics cover the main body and bottom, and DWR treatments are PFAS-free, reflecting a thoughtful approach to sustainability without compromising performance.

Smart access and cargo organization

• The main dry storage is accessible from both the top and the backpanel for rapid layer changes, safety kit access, or quick swaps on the move.
• A dedicated front panel pocket keeps avalanche safety gear and essentials within easy reach during transit.
• Internal GPS/Radio carry with mic harness keeps comms secure and integrated into your kit.
• Two access points to the dry storage reduce fiddling and save time when you need gear fast.

Ski and snowboard versatility

• Supports A-frame or diagonal ski carry, adapting to varied snow and terrain.
• Vertical front panel and horizontal snowboard carry provide stable, flexible options for bulkier planks.
• Enlarged ski loops accommodate wider planks, while a sewn-in helmet net keeps your helmet secure when not in use.
• Glove-friendly buckles simplify adjustments in cold, windy conditions or while wearing mittens.

Materials, comfort, and sustainability

The Sopris 40L leverages bluesign® approved main body and bottom fabrics, paired with DWR treatments made without PFAS, delivering durable performance with an eco-conscious touch. The design prioritizes a stable, lightweight feel for long ascents and confident control during descents, especially with a women’s-specific fit that helps maintain balance and comfort across dynamic movements.
