We like the Traverse Light 20L Daypack because it's the lightest alpine pack in the Ortovox portfolio. Weighing only 14. 5 ounces, this pack stands out for its lightweight construction with removable chest straps, a removable hip belt, and a light but durable nylon Robic face fabric that's tear- and abrasion-resistant. The Airvent back system aerates our back for comfort while offering a close-to-body fit for technical performance when we're skiing, scrambling, or climbing. We especially like the three shoulder strap pockets that let us access our essentials without taking the pack off our back—one zippered pocket for our cell phone/GPS and two mesh pockets for our water flasks or energy bars. Lightweight but technical, it's the pack we want when we're moving fast and light through mountain environments.
