Osprey Sopris Backpack

The back-panel entry allows you to open the main compartment while the pack is laid flat on the snow, keeping the harness and back panel facing up. This prevents your shoulder straps and back padding from getting wet or covered in snow while you access your gear.

Yes, the front panel pocket is specifically designed for rapid access to avalanche safety gear. It is sized to accommodate most standard-sized shovel blades, handles, and probes, keeping them separate from your dry gear in the main compartment.

Yes, the Sopris features versatile attachment points that support both ski and snowboard carry systems. This makes it a great option if you switch between disciplines or ride with friends who use different gear.

Yes, it is hydration compatible. You can easily integrate a reservoir to stay hydrated during long ascents without needing to stop and unpack your water bottle.

For most backcountry skiers and snowboarders, 30L is the sweet spot for a full day. It provides enough room for your safety tools, extra layers, skins, and snacks without being overly bulky or heavy during the descent.

The helmet net deploys from a dedicated pocket to secure your helmet to the outside of the pack. It is particularly useful during transitions or when you are hiking up and want to keep your head cool without losing your helmet.
