Salomon

X Alp 23L Backpack

You prefer going at your own pace when you're alpine touring or ski mountaineering, and it just so happens that your pace is faster than most skiers on the mountain. Salomon styled the X Alp 23 Backpack to suit speedy skiers like yourself. with a back panel that lets you access the pack without taking it off completely. You'll still have to slip out of the shoulder straps, but then you just flip the pack around your body and open the back panel without taking the waist belt off. Another unique feature is the bottom compartment that stores crampons or rando ropes, and there's a small opening so you can efficiently dish out your rando rope whenever you see sketchy traverses, unstable couloirs, or quick rappels.
