ORTOVOX Cross Rider 22 backpack, Petrol Blue

Ortovox Cross Rider 22 Ski Touring Backpack | Petrol Blue

The ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 ski touring and freeride backpack is the ideal companion for any skiing adventure. You'll appreciate the two practical access points on the backpack, with the back access being particularly useful when you have skis attached to the backpack. A practical feature is the separate compartment for a shovel and avalanche probe, thanks to which avalanche equipment will no longer press against your back, making the backpack even more comfortable and safer. Separate pockets also ensure that you can access your equipment in a matter of seconds. The comfortable back system made of EVA material, shoulder straps, and anatomically shaped hip belt ensure that the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack blends with your body, giving you the space to enjoy a perfect freeride.

Thoughtful Pocket System

Every pocket on the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack has its purpose and allows you to keep things readily accessible.

• A separate compartment inside the main compartment for the buckle is used for storing avalanche equipment – shovel and probe.
• The main compartment has a pocket for a water bottle or reservoir and a fastening clip – plus the option to route the hose over the right shoulder strap.
• An internal pocket for storing small items such as documents, cash, and valuables, with a key clip.
• The front zip pocket is designed for a map and compass.
• The hip belt pocket is suitable for a mobile phone, camera, or GPS.
• A helmet net is stored at the front of the backpack with a practical zip.

Equipment Attachment System

You can attach all the necessary equipment for a day spent in powder to the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack. Every piece of equipment has its place, is securely attached, and putting it on and taking it off is quick and easy.

• Skis (D-Skifix and A-Skifix) / snowboard / snowshoes
• One ice axe
• Poles
• Helmet

Full-Contact-Light Back System

This back system made of 3D foam is lightweight yet comfortable. One of the main advantages of the Full-Contact-Light system is its ability to distribute the load evenly between the hip belt and the slightly padded shoulder straps. A wide hip belt with a practical pocket and a sternum strap (equipped with an emergency whistle) also helps to secure the pack firmly to your back. The Full-Contact-Light back system can be found on the ALLMOUNTAIN and ASCENT models.

Robust Construction

The backpack uses extremely lightweight, durable, and highly resistant polyester fabric Polyester 600D (PFC FREE). A PU coating on the inside provides the backpack with the necessary water resistance, which is further enhanced by a DWR (water-repellent) treatment on its outer side.

Back Length "Regular"

The backpack is adapted for people with a medium back length of 42-50 cm – for a height of approximately 170-195 cm. The length is measured from the 7th cervical vertebra to the upper part of the pelvis. The backpack is not only adjusted in back length but also in the shape of the shoulder straps and the fit of the hip belt. This ensures the backpack fits ideally and stays securely on your back.

The Clear Choice for Minimalists!

Anyone who truly values low weight and essential functional features in a backpack will surely love the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22. With a weight of 850 g, this model is among the lightest, yet it offers users all the essential functional features – separate pockets for safety avalanche equipment, straps for attaching skis or snowboards, a system for attaching ice axes and trekking poles, the possibility of accessing the main backpack compartment from the front or back, and compatibility with hydration systems. The ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack provides you with enough space and functions for shorter trips and full days in the powder.
