Simond Alpinism Mountaineering Backpack

At 22 liters, this pack is designed specifically for day-long climbs or rapid ascents. It lacks the volume and load-carrying capacity required for overnight gear, so it is best suited for fast-and-light missions.

The large front zipper allows you to open the main compartment like a clamshell. This means you can reach items at the bottom of your pack without having to dump everything out, which is particularly helpful when you need to grab a shell or snacks quickly on the wall.

Yes, the pack includes dedicated attachment points designed for both skis and snowboards. Given its 22-liter size, it is ideal for short approaches or lift-accessed backcountry laps rather than multi-day ski touring.

Absolutely. It is constructed from 420D ripstop polyamide and 600D polyester, which are specifically chosen to resist tears and abrasion against granite and other rough mountain surfaces.

Yes, the pack is hydration compatible. You can easily route a hose through the integrated system to keep water accessible during high-output activities.

The pack features vertical foam padding designed to create airflow channels against your back. While it helps reduce sweat buildup during intense movement, it is a low-profile design meant to keep the load stable rather than providing heavy-duty ventilation.
