Free as a Bird!
For riders seeking ultimate freedom of movement, the CALGARY 18 delivers a lightweight design packed with features. It offers ample space, practicality, and style for day-long adventures. Need to climb a bit to reach your dream descent? The side straps allow skis to be carried in an A-frame style, while a snowboard can be attached to the front. The pack includes a dedicated pocket for avalanche rescue gear, saving valuable seconds in emergencies. Plus, it's made entirely from 100% recycled materials.

Key Features

Quick and Easy Ski Carry System
Skis can be attached to the backpack with just two clips. The A-frame system works particularly well for wide skis. For added stability, we recommend using a strap to secure the ski tips together.

Freedom of Movement
A narrow hip belt and thermoformed back panel provide flexibility and comfort, allowing unrestricted movement all day long.

Dedicated Avalanche Gear Pocket
Designed for quick access to avalanche rescue tools, the pack features a separate, easily accessible compartment for a probe and shovel.

Thermoformed Back Panel
The comfortable, water-repellent back panel molds to the shape of your back for an excellent fit.

Recycled Fabrics
This pack is crafted from durable recycled fabrics, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The 300D and 150D polyester linings are both made from recycled plastic, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to virgin materials.

Available in 3 colors.
