What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I use the Free Rider 22 for short tours and deep storm days. The way it hugs your back without bouncing is next-level, especially in tight trees or steep couloirs. I love how organized everything stays."For days when movement and agility matter most, we trust the Ortovox Free Rider 22 to keep essentials secure without restricting flow. Built with freeriders in mind, this pack sits close like a second skin, allowing us to slash turns, stomp landings, and scramble short bootpacks without ever feeling off balance. Its flat, body-hugging design pairs a flexible CLASP FLEX BELT with plush back pads that move with us, not against us. It's also compatible with the CLASP Spine Protector, offering certified impact protection for rowdy terrain. Side compression straps cinch everything down, while thoughtful gear carry systems give us all the flexibility we need for mountain missions. With separate compartments for avalanche gear, skins, and tools, the Free Rider 22 stays organized, ready, and close at hand when the line gets real.
