SALEWA Ortles Climb 25 Backpack red orange

The sun is just starting to set. You’ve made it to the Cima Grande ringband. The wind carries your exuberant shouts off towards the distant meadows of Misurina. It’s time to head back and find the descent.

The Salewa Ortles Climb 25-litre pack has a close-fitting, streamlined design that lets you climb without restricting your freedom of movement. Its split shoulder straps allow greater mobility, especially when reaching for high holds, while the Twin Compression System keeps the load and your centre of mass stabilized for better balance on slabs and small ledges.

The air-permeable Dry Back Contact carrying system provides outstanding ventilation, and together with the EVA padding with air flow channels, works to keep your back drier. The roll-top design with aluminium buckle closure and direct side access allows you to get at your gear quickly and easily at (hanging) belays. Together with the Twin Compression System, it enables good volume reduction, keeping the load close to your back.

Naturally, the Ortles Climb offers both secure rope and double ice axe attachment, a hydration system exit and side loops to attach gear. And to make sure it’s capable of taking plenty of abuse, Salewa make it from high-tenacity, durable and abrasion-resistant ripstop REGEN ROBIC, which is 60 % more tear-resistant than standard nylon pack fabrics and capable of withstanding hard hauling.
