The dual PickPockets™ keep ice tools secure and instantly accessible, and the A-frame ski carry handles skis without extra straps. Whether you're simul-climbing a classic ridge or skiing a steep couloir, this pack moves with you, not against you.

Ideal use cases

• Glacier travel and crevasse rescue scenarios

Good to know

The Speed Ultra 35 is designed for athletes who value speed and simplicity. All non-essential components can be removed to reduce weight, and the pack is compatible with hydration systems for hands-free drinking on the move. The S/M size fits torsos from 41 to 48 cm, making it ideal for smaller-framed climbers. Storm Gray is a versatile, low-profile colour that hides dirt and matches any kit.
