Recommended backpacks for the 2022-2023 season

POC｜DIMENSION VPD BACKPACK

It's cool anyway! Moreover, it can be used in earnest! ︎

◆ Official HP / https://www.full-marks.com/aclima/

Anyway, it's stylish and cool! Moreover, it can be used in earnest! ︎ Accessible not only from the back but also from the panel zip side on the side. A clever design with a double zip for easy access. The VAP AIR backplate on the back softens when the back warms and hardens when it receives an impact, which is a great example of POC's commitment to safety.

DEUTER｜FREERIDER PRO 34+

The triple threat of lightness, cheapness, and high functionality

◆ Official website: https://www.iwatani-i-collect.com/products/outdoor/item-21747.html

A good product with the triple threat of lightness, cheapness and high functionality. The fabric is thinner than other manufacturer's rucksacks, so it is very light and recommended for those who want to lighten their equipment as much as possible. The capacity is also large, so you can afford even a 1DAY hike.

PLUS ONE WORKS｜IRWAK 38

Designed to fit the Japanese skeleton, it is comfortable to carry on your back and has a sense of stability to prevent fatigue.

◆ Official HP / https://www.full-marks.com/plusoneworks

Newly designed from the structure, the back system has also been renewed.

Anyway, it is a backpack that is comfortable to carry, has a sense of stability, and is less tiring because it is designed to fit the Japanese skeleton. The independent 3-sided back pad, which was originally planned and developed, has a structure that stabilizes and stabilizes the sides of the spine. When you put a lot of luggage, it prevents the bag itself from becoming a sphere and maintains a good fit to your back. Avalanche gear such as shovels and probes can be stored in a dedicated compartment for quick access even with a snowboard or snowshoes on, so you can access them without hesitation.

It is safe to be able to act quickly in case of emergency. The rear access to the main compartment allows speedy access to the luggage compartment even in bad weather. The large goggle pocket is large enough to comfortably hold two goggles. The 3DS shoulder strap and 3DET frame, which are designed for the Japanese body type, reduce the weight of the load and hinder movement during gliding, and the CS waist harness has a fit that wraps around the pelvis, allowing the load to sway horizontally. prevent I think it's an excellent backpack that I can't stop giving evaluation points.

NORRONA｜lofoten 30L Pack

Perfect size for 1DAY BC, high durability and good fit

◆ Official HP / https://www.full-marks.com/norrona/

A backpack of the perfect size for 1-day backcountry, with a cool design that you will fall in love with at a glance.

Not only the design, but also the high durability, fit, and ease of use of the pocket reduce the stress in BC. It doesn't get in the way without stress when skiing, so it increases your attention and satisfaction when you're skiing. You can use it widely for both skiing, snowboarding, backcountry and sidecountry.

ORTOVOX｜HAUTE ROUTE 32

The placement of the vivid color and belts with high visibility is also clever.

In the world of backpacks, where there are many black and navy colors, this "HAUTE ROUTE 32" is available in four colors: desert orang, yellowstone, just blue, and dark navy. It comes in a variety of colors, so it is highly reliable in terms of safety. There is no doubt that it will be useful even in Japan where there are many cloudy days. One of the recommended points is that the belts are arranged so that they are difficult to see!

Backpack specialty brand OSPREY. "Solden 32" is a very popular model of backcountry pack that has been passed down for generations. There is no complaints about the ease of use and comfort that have been brushed up with each model change. Starting with the 2022-2023 model, the weight has been greatly reduced, making it even more attractive.

BCA｜STASH 40　

Most of the necessary functions are available, and there are not many unnecessary items, and the price is conscientious.

It has most of the features you need and not many you don't. The height-adjustable waist belt allows you to change the back length according to your height, and you can get a better fit with the back panel. The usability of the back side access is also good. The price is also conscientious.

BCA｜STASH 20

Just the right size for a day in the backcountry　

◆ Official website: http://www.k2japan.com/brand/bca.html

Just the right size for a day backcountry. There are two large pockets that can be separated from wet items. If you want to have a little more space than the "STASH20", we recommend the "STASH30". There is also a side pocket, suitable for long tours.

SCOTT｜PATROL E2 30L

The most advanced electric airbag in terms of perfection and weight reduction!

◆ Official HP / https://www.scott-sports.com/jp/ja/

I think that the future airbags for backcountry use will be electric.

Considering the two points of completeness and weight reduction among the electric airbags, this "Alpride 2" is the most advanced! ! the power is inferior to the gas type, the charging time is short and the charging medium is large. A considerable sense of security, such as dealing with dry batteries in emergencies, will be an advantage. In fact, I would like to open the airbag once! If it's electric, you can easily try it!

BCA has been manufacturing and selling float type airbags since 2010.

We will release a new battery-type float bag from the 2022-23 season. The adoption of a fan drive system called a supercapacitor has increased reliability at low temperatures and reduced weight.

It can be deployed any number of times by charging, so you can rest assured

The backpack itself is well made and does not interfere with slipping. It is lighter than the conventional model due to electrification. You can rest assured that you can deploy it as many times as you like by charging it.
