Deep Dive
Why We Like The ARVA Tour 20L Backpack
The ARVA Tour 20L Backpack provides plenty of comfort and functionality in an eco-friendly package. The pack's Aero-Back is flexible and provides a comfortable buffer between the pack and our back to keep our back well ventilated.
The Tour also features easy-access pockets — such as the dedicated shovel/probe pocket and a large elastic side pocket where we can stuff our skins, water bottle, or fleece — as well as external attachments for our ice axe, poles, and skis.
On top of the comfort and functionality, the pack is made from 100% recycled fabrics and PFC-Free durable water repellent to reduce harm to the planet.
