When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways.

Description

Why We Like The Ortovox Traverse Light 20L Daypack

We absolutely love the Traverse Light 20L Daypack for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is the lightest alpine pack available in the Ortovox collection. At just 14.5 ounces, it stands out for its incredibly lightweight design. This makes it ideal for those who prefer to move swiftly and effortlessly through mountainous terrains. Additionally, the pack features removable chest straps and a hip belt, allowing for a customized and secure fit. The durable nylon Robic face fabric is not only lightweight but also tear- and abrasion-resistant, guaranteeing its longevity.

What sets the Traverse Light 20L Daypack apart is its Airvent back system. This innovative feature not only ensures optimal comfort but also provides a close-to-body fit for enhanced technical performance during skiing, scrambling, or climbing adventures. Moreover, the pack boasts three shoulder strap pockets that grant easy access to essentials without needing to take off the pack. One of these pockets is zippered, perfect for storing a cell phone or GPS, while the other two are mesh pockets suitable for holding water flasks or energy bars.
