Ortovox Ski Plus 23 Pack

Item #ORT0058 | 16 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great fit, but bring your skinny boards.

By Ranked #118 - Winter Packs February 17, 2009

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.
