Sopris 40L Backpack - Women's

PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is a treatment that helps repel water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This is crucial for outdoor gear as it keeps your belongings dry while being environmentally friendly. Choosing PFC-free products means you’re making a safer choice for both yourself and the planet.

The Lightwire frame is designed to be lightweight yet strong, distributing the weight of the pack evenly across your back. This design reduces pressure points and enhances stability, making it more comfortable to carry heavy loads during activities like backcountry skiing or snowboarding.

EVA foam, or ethylene-vinyl acetate, is a soft and flexible material that offers excellent cushioning and support. In shoulder straps, contoured EVA foam helps reduce fatigue and discomfort, allowing you to wear your backpack comfortably for extended periods, whether you're hiking or skiing.

The A-frame and diagonal ski carry methods provide secure and convenient ways to transport skis on your backpack. The A-frame carry positions the skis in an "A" shape on either side, while the diagonal carry straps them across the back at an angle. Both methods ensure your skis are stable and easily accessible while you hike or climb.

The stowaway helmet carry feature allows you to securely attach your helmet to the backpack when it's not in use. This keeps your helmet protected and out of the way, making it easier to carry while hiking or traveling. It’s especially useful for skiers and snowboarders who want to keep their hands free.

Choosing gear with features like PFC-free DWR coating, Lightwire frames, EVA foam, and specialized ski carry methods enhances your overall experience. These innovations improve comfort, safety, and convenience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your outdoor adventures without worrying about your gear.
