The Haute Route 40 from the Ortovox brand is a technical backpack for mountaineering and ski mountaineering, with a 40 liters capacity. It is ideal for the most demanding athletes. With a robust construction, it highlights the great comfort and functionality of all the features it offers.

Cordura®, PFC-free double-layer 420D Oxford polyamide and PU coating on all fabrics make our HAUTE ROUTE 40 extremely resistant to scratches and water. This backpack fits perfectly thanks to its load control cords and the ergonomically shaped O-Flex-2 back system with S-shaped stabilizer, which distributes the weight evenly between the hips and shoulders, even for prolonged periods. The hip fins connect into the back system so they wrap comfortably and seamlessly around the body. The HAUTE ROUTE 38 S has a shortened back system specially designed for smaller people.

It has space for everything you might need. The spacious main compartment is accessible from the top and rear, meaning everything in the pack will be easily accessible, while a separate security compartment provides quick access to emergency gear. Thanks to the rope attachment on the lid, you can pack and unpack your rope without having to open the pack. In addition to the closure for crampons, the closure for ice axes and hiking poles and the fixed helmet net, there are also closures for a snowboard, for example. Skis can be attached with the classic method or diagonally.
