Thule have released their new range of backpacks for 2015-16 and have somehow managed to improve still further on their product range.
The Upslope 35L backpack is the perfect backpack for the backcountry, designed to eliminate the hassle of removing your backpack every time you need access your water bottle, skins or helmet.
Features:
- Avalanche compartment with dedicated probe and shovel handle sleeves keep tools separated from dry gear in the main compartment.
- Bottom loop quickly adjusts for varying widths of skis and boards and stows to prevent snagging.
- Stowable ice axe loop holds a mountain tool and can be tucked away to prevent snagging.
- Roomy side pockets provide on-trail access to a 1L water bottle or climbing skins.
- Versatile carry options include A-frame and diagonal ski carry or horizontal and vertical snowboard carry.
- Carry your helmet either on the bottom of the backpack for easy access or on the front.
- Easily access gear in the bottom of your pack and keep your back panel snow free thanks to the back panel access into the main compartment.
- Insulated hydration sleeve and dedicated reservoir pocket helps prevent your hose from freezing. The reservoir pocket is separated from main compartment in-case of leaks.
- Protective goggle pocket with soft lining.
- Top compression strap cinch down your load to prevent gear from sloshing around.
The bag has a recommended retail price of £110 and the smaller Thule Upslope 20L backpack is also available for £85
