Features
Versatile, technical and comfortable ski touring backpack for demanding tours. The HAUTE ROUTE has been around almost since the birth of ski touring. Our enduring classic is perfect for longer ski excursions.
Cordura®, double-layered Polyamide 420D Oxford and PU coating on all fabrics make our HAUTE ROUTE 30 S extremely scuff and water resistant. This backpack fits perfectly thanks to its load control cords and ergonomically shaped O-Flex-2 back system with S-shaped stabilizer, which distributes weight evenly between the hips and the shoulders, even over lengthy periods. The hip fins connect inside the back system so that they wrap comfortably and seamlessly around the body. The HAUTE ROUTE 30 S has a specially designed shortened back system for smaller people.
With its larger capacity, the HAUTE ROUTE 30 S has space for all you may need. The spacious main compartment is accessible from the top and back, which means all backpack contents will be easily accessible, while a separate safety compartment provides rapid access to emergency equipment. Thanks to the rope attachment on the lid, you can pack and unpack your rope without having to open the backpack. In addition to the crampon fastening, ice axe and hiking pole fastening and fixed helmet net, there are also fasteners for a snowboard, for example. Skis can be fastened using either the classic or diagonal method.
No matter how long and challenging the tour, the HAUTE ROUTE 30 S will equip you well for any multi-day tour.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Haute Route 30 S
How does the sizing run on this backpack?
The Haute Route 30 S has a shortened O-Flex-2 back system sized for torsos measuring 14.2–17.3 in (36–44 cm). This shortened fit is intended for smaller people on longer ski tours.
Can I adjust the straps to fit my shoulders properly?
Load-control cords and the ergonomically shaped O-Flex-2 back system with an S-shaped stabilizer help dial in the fit across your shoulders. The system is built to distribute weight evenly between your hips and shoulders over lengthy tours.
How much can I actually fit in this backpack?
This backpack has a 30L capacity and seven compartments for organizing ski-touring equipment. Its larger-capacity layout is intended for demanding, multi-day backcountry ski excursions.
Are there separate compartments to keep things organized?
This pack has seven compartments, including a separate safety compartment and a hip pocket. You can reach the spacious main compartment from either the top or the back, while emergency equipment has dedicated quick-access storage.
Can I attach skis or a snowboard to the outside?
This pack carries skis using side/classic or diagonal carry, and it includes snowboard and snowshoe attachment points. The wide ski fastener accommodates skis up to 150 mm wide for secure external carry on approaches or transitions.
How is the weight distributed across my shoulders and hips?
The O-Flex-2 back system uses an S-shaped stabilizer to distribute weight evenly between your hips and shoulders. Connected hip fins wrap around your body to create a comfortable, seamless carry over lengthy periods.
Is this backpack waterproof, or will my gear get wet in snow and slush?
Cordura®, double-layer Polyamide 420D Oxford, and PU coating make this pack extremely scuff and water resistant. This construction is built for snow-focused ski touring, with water resistance rather than a waterproof rating stated for the pack.
Is there a dedicated spot for a hydration bladder or water bottle?
This backpack is compatible with a hydration system. You can integrate a hydration system for long ski-touring and multi-day backcountry objectives.
Is there a way to compress the pack when it's not full?
This backpack includes compression straps to reduce and stabilize the load when you are carrying less gear. They complement the pack's load-control cords and O-Flex-2 frame for a more managed carry on the skin track.
Does this backpack work for both skiing and snowboarding?
This technical ski-touring backpack supports both ski carry and snowboard attachment. You can carry skis at the side/classic position or diagonally, while snowboard and snowshoe attachments broaden its backcountry use.
