Ortovox Free Rider Pack - 1464cu in

Fasten your skis or snowboard onto the Ortovox Free Rider Pack and head up the mountain. This light pack holds all of your extra layers, snacks, and safety equipment in six separate compartments without weighing you down. Ortovox used their Spine Protection System along with a comfortable neoprene hip-belt to protect your back. This system ensures that the pack will not shift if you fall, but does not restrict movement while you ride. It also distributes the weight of your pack to a wide area so your lower back won't suffer. Ortovox included features like two ice axe loops, water-resistant zippers, and hydration compatibility.

Bottom Line: Keep your spine safe and carry your gear with the Ortovox Free Rider Pack.

Very High on This Pack

By: Tom Pierce (1)
March 10, 2008

Although designed for the skiing/boarding crowd, I selected this as a compact day pack for winter mountaineering. I can fit a down sweater, fleece pullover, shell and 2.5L bladder, still with some room to spare. Not much, but I wanted a smaller pack and I love the low profile shape. The snowboard carry straps work well stowing snowshoes, and it'll cleverly carry a couple of ice axes. Cons: A bit heavy with the internal frame and the front hip belt pocket is very small. Otherwise an excellent pack, and I'm picky.

back protection makes it heavier, but after landing on my spine while trying a backflip the rock that should have cancelled my ability to walk never ever touched me! It flexes with my movements and carries the weight correctly for skiing. I love it's access to inside stuff and it's simplistic design. This is a very, very good pack for anyone who is serious about skiing, alpinism and the mountains. The features that aren't there are not there because they aren't needed. This pack rides well and will keep you from harm. A serious yes for those looking for a better pack.

Its a great daypack, but a few minor complaints

By: Heliski (1)

Pros: Great pack, excellent weight distribution and support. Storm proof zippers and a better helmet attachment system than Osprey (the osperey wont fit large helmets, fatheads like me are out of luck) and the most comfortable/secure waist straps of all the packs I've worn Cons: Not as much storage as a comparable pack, such as the osperey 26. The Orto is low profile but at a cost. Also camelback is on the panel that opens out for back acess, this means that it drags your hydration hose across making getting into your stuff a hassel. No insulated sleeve for the hydration hose and only 1 small hip pocket (Osperey has 2 big ones.) All in all, a great pack, but has a few small things they could have fixed. Perhaps in a future model. Still, I would recomend it, the Orto has features that the others dont, such as the SPS which is REALLY nice.
