The Ortovox Cross Rider backpack is lightweight, compact, and perfect for daily outings and will carry all necessary items for a short excursion on the mountain.
The thermoformed back, ergonomic shoulder straps and hip belt help the Cross Rider hug the body rather than moving around during active pursuits. For adventurous types, skis can be mounted both diagonally and to the side through Ortovox's wide ski fastener.
For convenience, the pack can be accessed from both front and back, while 'Bright Inside' lighting allows you to quickly locate specific items. The Cross Rider also contains separate compartments for a shovel and probe that keeps emergency equipment within easy reach. Other storage features include fastening options for ice axes and poles, a helmet net to keep your bulky headgear protected from other belongings, and a compartment specifically for maps.
The Cross Rider is also equipped with a hydration system compartment, ensuring a high-quality, all-round backpack which caters to many demands. Ortovox are a specialist avalanche safety company who make some of the highest quality products in the industry. Whilst there can be no price put on safety, the Cross Rider doesn't settle for a compromise.
Yes, its good as expected. Also well priced. Well adjusted to my body even when skiing fast and aggresive. Could fit a surprising amount of equipment inside. Comfortable to sit with on chairlift. The loop to fit skis inside is too small, but the side straps were fine to transport the skis.
