Backpack Pinguin Ridge 28

This backpack is designed for day trips through the dreamy landscape on skis, splitboard or snowshoes. The short back length makes it suitable for smaller figures.

Two compartments - the front for separate storage and easy access to avalanche gear and the main compartment for carrying clothing, food and other essentials for traveling through dreamy terrain. Access to the water bag hose at the top of the pack between the shoulder straps. Inside the main chamber there is a divider separating the water bag from other gear. Spacious top pocket for carrying gloves, hat, ski goggles with an internal wallet pocket for valuables and a key loop.

Non-slip molded SNOFF system that does not stick to snow and is water repellent. The backpack's walls are reinforced with a removable HDPE plate with integrated duralumin reinforcement that helps distribute the weight of the transported cargo on the walls and eliminates the pressure of the transported items on the back.

The backplate can be interchanged with a SAS-TEC 450 certified back protector (supplied separately) to make the pack an uncompromising weapon for the open field.
