What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I trust this pack on days when the margin is thin. The airbag system is compact and intuitive, and the pack still feels balanced while skinning and skiing. It carries technical gear cleanly without feeling overbuilt or restrictive.”When we step into complex snowpacks and remote terrain, the gear we carry becomes part of our decision-making process. The Sopris Pro Avy 30L Airbag Backpack from Osprey is designed for those days, integrating protection and performance into a pack that moves naturally through demanding environments. It stays close on long climbs and remains composed when the descent requires focus and control. Built around the Alpride E2 electronic airbag system, the Sopris Pro Avy 30L Airbag Backpack adds a critical layer of safety without unnecessary bulk. A snow-shedding backpanel keeps buildup from slowing movement, while NanoFly recycled fabric resists abrasion from sharp tools and repeated use. The bright-contrast avalanche pocket makes shovel and probe easy to locate under pressure, and integrated radio carry with mic routing supports clear communication when coordination matters most.
