Salomon S-Lab X Alp 20

The S-Lab X Alp 20 is a lightweight, close-fitting, climbing and backcountry ski pack. The X Alp 20 promises to hold just what you need for a day in the mountains, such as a rope, helmet, skis (diagonal carry), two ice axes or poles, and crampons in a padded protected "Extreme Box."

A stretch sternum straps moves with you for easy breathing on hard climbs. When you're ready to access your gear, you don't need to take off the X Alp 20. Instead take off its shoulder straps, twist the pack around to your front, use the full zipper on the back of the pack to open the pack and find what you need.

The pack features a hydration reservoir compartment, one mesh pocket on the shoulder strap, two hip belt pockets. It's made from 100D Triple ripstop fabric with 210D Dyneema ripstop reinforcements.
