Haute Route 40L Backpack

Why We Love the Ortovox Haute Route 40L Backpack

When embarking on long multi-day touring trips, we rely on the Ortovox Haute Route 40L Backpack to accommodate all our essential gear, additional layers, and nutrition required for days in the backcountry. This remarkably spacious pack comes with dedicated compartments and gear loops to keep our safety equipment, maps, ice axes, and other essentials perfectly organized for tackling challenging mountain lines. Crafted from durable Cordura ripstop material, the pack is resistant to abrasions caused by rocks and brush, and its PU coating ensures it repels snow during heavy dumps. Adding to its convenience, the dual-access main compartment enables us to retrieve our puffy jacket from the back without rummaging through the entire pack.
