Arva Ski Trip 30 Backcountry Backpack - 2022

Inspired by decades of experience in the mountains, the all-new ST30 is your go-to companion for any adventure. By streamlining the seam count and crafting this pack from durable N400D PU2 waterproof ripstop fabric, Arva achieved a minimalist design that excels in versatility. Whether you're embarking on a sidecountry adventure or tackling backcountry freeride tours, this pack effortlessly transitions to more mountaineering-focused activities. The adaptable strap system ensures efficient gear carriage in any scenario and the AquaGuard zipper on the side allows for easy access. Safely store your shovel and probe in a dedicated compartment for easy retrieval during emergencies without adding bulk.

Multi-Purpose Straps: Using a Daisy Chain system and multi-purpose straps, the ST30 is capable of carrying skis, a snowboard, ice axes, as well as any other piece of gear that you consider essential. These straps can be used for compression on outings when your pack is not full, making the ST30 even more streamlined and close-fitting.

Internal Pocket For Snow-Safety Gear: Designed to keep your shovel and probe readily accessible no matter the load, you will forget they are in this completely separate and closed compartment most of the time, yet have split-second access in an emergency situation. When placed in their dedicated sleeves, your shovel and probe will not move an inch (or even a centimeter).

Magnetic Buckles: A brand new system to close and open your backpack even quicker. 

Water Resistant: To tackle the snow, rain, and any other wet environment, the ST30 is designed with YKK AquaGuard® zippers and N400D PU2 fabric. It is water-resistant and will never let you down when the going gets tough.

Thermoformed Back Panel Designed With Alu-Fit Technology: ALU-FIT technology provides you with exceptional support and comfort. The more you wear your pack, the more the back panel molds to your physique for the perfect fit. Combined with a comfortable, water-resistant, thermoformed form-fitting back panel, the ST30 will hug your back. If you want to shave off some weight, you can remove the ALU-FIT system and save 50g.

Fully-Equipped Waist Belt: With its two large pockets, two accessory loops, and a sleeve to stow the excess strap after tightening, you will be pleasantly surprised by this ergonomic waist belt’s comfort and functionality.
