Arva - ST28 Black Backbag

As the most versatile mid-sized pack in Arva's Ski Trip series, the Arva ST 28 Black is tailored for riders who need a lightweight, high-performance daypack that transitions effortlessly from resort sidecountry to technical alpine ascents. Built using an advanced recycled ripstop fabric, it shields your gear from heavy snowfall, rain, and rough terrain while maintaining a remarkably light weight on your back.

The ST 28 focuses heavily on fast, uncompromised access. It features premium, water-resistant YKK AquaGuard zippers that open from both the top and the full length of the front panel, allowing you to grab deep-packed gear in seconds. For maximum backcountry security, your avalanche safety tools are isolated in a dedicated external front pocket for instant deployment. Comfort is managed by a structured, breathable Aero-Frame back panel that keeps the load stable during sharp turns. The ergonomic hip belt features convenient zippered pockets for your phone or snacks, and can be completely removed to streamline the pack for travel, daily commutes, or light resort laps.Key Features
