What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "When I'm heading out for shorter, fast-paced tours, the Soelden 25 is my go-to. It's compact but doesn't compromise on avy gear storage or carry options. The LightWire frame gives it great structure for its size, and the snow-shedding backpanel keeps things clean when I'm bootpacking. It feels light and agile but still has the durability to handle repeated use in the backcountry." For quick missions into the alpine, we trust the Osprey Soelden 25 Backpack to carry just what we need without weighing us down. Designed with input from professional guides and athletes, this smaller-volume snow pack combines avalanche safety storage with a lightweight, stable frame that moves with us as we skin, bootpack, or descend. The recycled ocean-sourced nylon construction reflects a thoughtful commitment to sustainability while still delivering the toughness required for rugged mountain travel. The Soelden 25 features intuitive avalanche gear organization, backpanel access to dry storage, and multiple carry options for skis, snowboard, helmet, and ice tools. Its snow-shedding backpanel keeps the pack comfortable against our back, even in storm conditions. Whether we're linking early morning laps or chasing powder stashes before work, this pack balances capacity and performance to make every mission smooth and efficient.
