Skitouring photo backpack

I needed a skitouring pack for the winter, so I made this one. The goal was to create a backpack that works both for skitouring in winter but also as a mountaineering pack for summer that enables me to bring my camera gear on alpine missions.

So this ticks all the boxes:

  • Avalanche gear pocket
  • Snack pocket
  • Open pocket to stash skins or jackets with drainage
  • Rolltop to have more volume if needed
  • Full backpanel opening that fits my Fstop Camera Cubes
  • Internal pockets for bladder and small stuff like keys/wallet/batteries
  • Versatile Ski and ice axe attachments
  • Shoulder straps that can be fitted with different pockets if needed
  • Side zips for access or rope storage
  • 32-38l
  • 1100g

For fabrics, the whole outer body is from Ultra400X, stash and avalanche pockets are from Ecopak 200EPLX, inner pockets are lined with 70D ripstop to get a white inside.

Super happy with it so far, brought it on two hikes so far and it carries super nice. Definitely looking forward to bring it on the first skitours and mountaineering missions!
