What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “I use the AVABAG LiTRIC TOUR 40 ZIP when I know I need to carry a bit more—extra layers, a rope, or food for long days. It zips easily onto my LiTRIC BASE and feels secure, like a single pack. Just enough space without feeling bulky.”For long tours that demand a bit more room without compromising weight or performance, we zip on the Ortovox AVABAG LiTRIC TOUR 40 ZIP. Designed specifically for ski touring, this stowaway bag is part of the modular LiTRIC avalanche system and attaches effortlessly to any TOUR or FREERIDE BASE unit (regular size). Once zipped on, it becomes one streamlined unit, perfect for high-output missions in technical terrain. Ortovox built this 40-liter stowaway bag with lightweight, scuff-resistant fabrics and all the features we depend on in the backcountry: external ski, rope, and splitboard carry, a dedicated ice axe attachment, and a separate safety compartment for avalanche gear. A full-wrap zipper makes accessing gear fast and simple, even with gloves on. It's everything we need for daylong tours, hut trips, and gear-heavy outings, with none of the excess.
