About the Ortovox Free Rider 22

The Ortovox Free Rider 22 men's snowboard/ski backpack is ideal for freeride and backcountry adventures. With space for storing essentials and the facility to carry skis or a snowboard, snowshoes, ice axe, helmets and poles on the exterior.

Ortovox's own CLASP FLEX BELT provides optimal control on every descent in addition to reliable support, the technology means the pack fits to your back like a second skin. Soft back pads, hug the back without restricting freedom of movement allowing you to ride longer for longer.
