Backpacks for BC courses

Can you recommend a 30L or 35L backpack suitable for back-country tour course?

Adam


Hi Adam,

There's a few backpacks that stand out.

The Ortovox 35 haute route is a good pack, comfortable and well made. Bit fiddly with the straps for carrying a board but once you get it dialled in its a very nice pack and probably my first choice.

If you're looking for something with a bit of avalanche protection thrown in the ABS packs and the snow pulse are the ones to look at. You buy a base pack with different size volumes that zip on.

BCA (Backcountry access) do a good pack called the 'stash', very simple, good board attachments, a no nonsense does everything pack!

Black diamond do a nice pack called the outlaw which comes with an Avalung. 35 Ltr, good straps, well made and a nice fit.


Check these out and see what you think.

Neil.
