Why We Love the Verto 18L Backpack

The Verto 18L Backpack is our go-to choice for conquering high-alpine summits. Its impressive features make it the perfect companion for any outdoor adventure.

This means quick and convenient access to our essentials, such as extra layers, when we need them most.

This design keeps the picks of our ice axes safely tucked away, preventing any snags or damage to our sleeves or rope whenever we sling the pack on or off.
