Description:
Developed in partnership with mountain running legend Markus Kröll, the Steep-Line 25L+ is designed for fast ski ascents in technical alpine terrain. Crafted from durable Ultra400X fabric with reinforced bottoms for enhanced longevity, it balances robustness and functionality. Features include dual shoulder strap pockets for essentials and soft bottles, an external back zippered entry, and a compartment for keys or wallet. The side stretch pocket allows skin storage without removing the pack, while ice axe holders double as side straps for rope security. The padded EcoPak EPLX450RS back panel and removable 38mm webbing hip belt ensure comfort. Additional innovations include a magnetic roll-top closure, a removable ski carry adjustable strap also usable as top lid strap for rope security, and a bottom-access avalanche gear compartment adaptable for rope storage on summer days.
