Details Salewa Ortles Guide 45 Alpine Rucksack A lighter mountaineering and climbing rucksack that frees you up to move faster in high alpine terrain, Salewa's 45-litre Ortles Guide is a large-capacity, fully-featured alpine climbing pack for mountaineering, ski touring and trekking expeditions. For fast access to gear, in addition to the roll-top, there is direct access via a YKK AquaGuard® water-repellent side zip and a separate front compartment with a water-repellent zip. When you want to reduce weight you can strip the pack down by removing the detachable, height-adjustable lid, removable back panel and hipbelt padding. The Ortles Guide 45 has tube guides and an exit port to accommodate a hydration system. There are load control straps, side compression straps and a top rope strap with secure magnetic buckle designed for a more stable carry. Further attachment solutions include: pole fastening, parallel ski attachment, diagonal ski attachment (using the detachable straps, included with the backpack) and front ice tool attachment. The Dry Back Contact carrying system has a padded EVA back panel and 3D channel ventilation to promote good air flow and breathability at the back. With its low-profile split shoulder straps and adjustable sternum strap, it ensures a close, steady carry and maximum freedom of movement. Hardwearing & sustainable, the Ortles Guide is made from 100% REGEN ROBIC®, a double ripstop, high-tenacity nylon with additional stretch performance. It’s 60% more tear-resistant than standard nylon pack fabrics and capable of withstanding hard hauling. The bottom panel is reinforced for added durability. REGEN ROBIC® is 100% recycled and demonstrates our commitment to sustainable production. The additional reflective logo print aids visibility during alpine starts and dark descents.
