ORTOVOX Cross Rider 22 backpack, Black Raven

ORTOVOX Cross Rider 22 Ski Touring Backpack | Black Raven

The ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 ski and freeride backpack is the ideal companion for any skiing adventure. You will appreciate the two practical entry points, with the back entry being especially useful when you have skis attached to the pack. Also practical is the separate compartment for a shovel and avalanche probe, thanks to which your avalanche equipment will never press against your back, making the backpack even more comfortable and safer. The separate pockets also ensure that you can reach 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 blends with your body, giving you the space to enjoy the perfect ride in open terrain.

Well-thought-out pocket system

Every pocket on the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack has its purpose and allows you to have things immediately at hand.

• A separate compartment inside the main chamber with a buckle serves for attaching avalanche equipment – shovel and probe.
• The main chamber has a pocket for a water bottle or reservoir and a clip for attachment – plus the option to route the hose to the right shoulder strap.
• Internal pocket for storing small items such as documents, cash, and valuables with a key loop.
• The front zippered pocket is designed for a map and compass.
• The pocket on the hip belt is useful for a mobile phone, camera, or GPS.
• The helmet net is stored at the front of the backpack with a practical zipper.

Equipment attachment system

You can attach all the necessary equipment for a day spent in powder to the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 backpack. Each piece of equipment has its place, is attached firmly, and putting it on or 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 but at the same time comfortable. One of the main advantages of the Full-Contact-Light system is that it can evenly distribute the load between the hip belt and the slightly padded shoulder straps. A wide hip belt with a practical pocket and a chest strap (equipped with an emergency whistle) also help to secure it firmly on the back. You can find the Full-Contact-Light back system on the ALLMOUNTAIN and ASCENT models.

Robust construction

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

Regular back size

The backpack has been adapted for people with a medium back length of 42-50 cm – for a height of approximately 170 to 195 cm. The length is calculated from the 7th cervical vertebra to the top of the pelvis. The backpack is not only adjusted in back length, but there are also changes in the shape of the shoulder straps and the adaptation of the hip belt. The backpack thus fits ideally and holds more firmly on the back.

A clear choice for minimalists!

Everyone who really cares about low weight and essential functional elements in backpacks will definitely fall in love with the ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22. Thanks to its weight of 850 g, this model ranks among the lightest, but at the same time offers users all essential functional elements – separate pockets for safety avalanche equipment, straps for attaching skis or a snowboard, a system for attaching an ice axe and hiking poles, the possibility of accessing the main chamber of the backpack from the front or back, and compatibility with hydration systems. The ORTOVOX CROSS RIDER 22 will provide you with enough space and features for shorter trips as well as whole days in powder.
