Introducing the Peak S 32L Backpack - Designed for Mountain Enthusiasts
The Ortovox Peak 32 Short Backpack is specifically crafted for those with shorter backs who love tackling the mountains. This backpack is built to withstand alpine adventures all year round, whether you're exploring the highlands in summer or searching for fresh powder in the winter. It offers the ideal combination of comfort and functionality required for high-altitude activities.
Get ready for backcountry missions during the winter with its ski, snowboard, and snowshoe carry options. For big spring ascents, you'll find the rope and crampon attachments extremely useful. The backpack's PU-coated fabric effortlessly repels snow and rain, ensuring your gear stays dry regardless of the season.
Designed with innovation, the Swisswool Full Contact back system is made from pressed Swiss wool. It is highly effective in absorbing sweat compared to typical foam materials, while also providing superior breathability. The pack's stability is reinforced by two aluminum struts, which can handle heavy loads with ease.
In the event of an emergency, the separate safety compartment allows quick access to your rescue tools, making every second count. Ortovox takes safety seriously, so they've included alpine emergency signal illustrations on the backpack to help you communicate your situation to other mountain travelers.
