Why We Love the Ortovox Free Rider S 26L Backpack
Gone are the days when an avalanche shovel was considered sufficient protection for freeride skiers. Thankfully, the Ortovox Free Rider S 26L Backpack has revolutionized backcountry skiing with its ingenious design. What sets this backpack apart is its Clasp Spine Protector, which consists of 8 flexible pads that provide unmatched comfort and confidence even in freezing temperatures.
