Switchback 32L Backpack

The Full Contact Light Back System is designed to evenly distribute weight across your back, which significantly enhances comfort and support. This means you can carry heavier loads without straining your back, making it ideal for long hikes or ski trips.

The A-frame Ski Carry method allows you to attach your skis to the backpack in a way that they form an "A" shape. This design keeps your skis secure and balanced, making it easier to walk or ski without worrying about them shifting or falling off. It’s perfect for those who need to transport their skis over long distances.

The Diagonal Ski Carry involves slinging the skis diagonally across your back, while the A-frame Ski Carry positions them in an "A" shape. The diagonal method can provide better balance and quicker access to your skis, making it easier to grab them when you need to hit the slopes.

The Ice Axe Carry feature includes designated pockets or loops specifically designed to hold an ice axe securely. This ensures that your ice axe is easily accessible when you need it for climbing or safety purposes, allowing you to focus on your ascent without worrying about where your gear is.

Absolutely! The Full Contact Light Back System is versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities, including hiking, climbing, and backpacking. Its comfort and support make it suitable for any situation where you need to carry a load for an extended period.
