Ski Plus 23 Pack

Ortovox designed the Ski Plus Pack for mellow day trips and short technical tours into the backcountry. Ortovox gave this 23 liter pack an opening back panel and a convenient horseshoe-shaped main opening for easy access to all your essential gear. The Ski Plus features a ski carry system compatible with boards of any size, dedicated shovel and probe pockets and two ice axe loops for more exposed missions. Water resistant zippers keep your extra layers dry, an optional hydration system lets you drink on the go, and a signal whistle could come in handy in an emergency.

Bottom Line: Ortovox thought of everything you need for day trips in the backcountry, and then made the Ski Plus Pack.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Alright Bag - Akward Access

By:
February 26, 2010

I agree with the previous post regarding the ski carry sytem as it is a bit tight for wider skis. I also found the back panel access a bit akward as the shoulder straps are constantly in your way and prevent easy access. I miss my Lowe Alpine snow attack 20 +5. Going to opt for the Lowe Alpine snowstorm 27 instead.

Its A-Frame, and the product description is misleading. You can carry boards of any size, as long as they are narrow enough to fit within the ski straps on the side.

Great fit, but bring your skinny boards.

This pack is very well made, with a fantastic snug and streamlined fit to your torso. I really the simple, functional design. The back-panel access is a great design that works very well. I wanted badly to keep this bag, but the a-frame only ski carry system falls significantly short compared to other options out there. If you look at the profile shot of this bag, you are limited to skis no wider than those black straps on the side which are stitched down and fixed in length. If you drive fat planks, then your SOL. I sent this bag back to BC.com and got the BD Covert 22, which doesn't have as good a fit as the ortovox, nor the back panel access, but the highly functional ski carry of that pack took precedence for me.
