Pack mule for long multi-day tours

Comfortable and robust high altitude and ski touring backpack for large multi-day tours

Highlights

  • Robust and durable
  • Full contact back with Swisswool ensures high wearing comfort despite heavy load
  • Extra large packing volume for especially large multi-day tours
     

The PEAK 55 is a multifunctional high altitude backpack for demanding alpinists who are looking for a durable, versatile and comfortable backpack for large and long multi-day tours or mountain expeditions.

Whether sleeping bag, tent, stove, crampons, ice axe, helmet, poles or climbing equipment - on material-intensive high and, ski tours, the PEAK 55 proves to be a powerful pack mule that offers a clever stowage option for every piece of equipment. Even under heavy loads, the wide, padded shoulder and hip straps and the close-fitting, full-contact back reinforced with metal braces of the unique Swisswool 3D BACK SYSTEM ensure comfortable carrying and optimum load control. The contact surfaces are lined with Swisswool wool fleece on the back, shoulders and hips, which reliably absorbs water vapor and dries quickly. The PEAK 55 also scores with a separate safety compartment, numerous attachment options for rope, ice axe, helmet, skis, snowboard and poles, as well as a side crampon compartment. In the spirit of sustainability, the two main outer materials are made of 100% and 50% recycled polyamide, which makes the backpack extremely robust and durable.

Thus, the PEAK 55 brings great freedom to the mountain and is a reliable companion for extended multi-day tours in high alpine terrain.

I'm a birder of some fifty years experience not a mountaineer, but I think my rucsac requirements are similar in many ways. I need a medium to large volume rucsac that can carry - either inside or hung on the outside - all my kit for a day in field. Depending on the habitat (although it often is mountains!) and the weather I typically carry a tripod, a telescope, a cameraphone adaptor for my phone/scope, walking poles, folding seat, extra clothes & hats, food & drink (an essential flask of espresso & water!), the usual valuables, and - on the rare occasions when they're not around my neck - my binoculars! I've come to the conclusion that I typically I need a 45 to 55L rucsac to comfortably hold all this stuff, and of course comfortably carry it. This time around an appropriate rucsac has been hard to find...until I found the Ortovox Peak 55. Of course you never quite know if a new rucsac from a manufacturer you've never used before will be be right for you until you've tried it in the field. Well, I'm delighted to report that the Peak 55 appears to be perfect for my needs. It's certainly large enough for summer (and I think) winter birding, it appears to be very well made and a lot of thought has gone into how it's constructed, how it works and where you can store/hang your kit. Critically I can load it up with all my stuff and carry it comfortably when I need to walk in/out or down/up, and then find what I need easily when called for. Despite the vast range of rucsacs on the market, I've found that it's often hard to find exactly what you need. Luckily this time I have. Thoroughly recommended...whatever your interest.

Bought this pack for overnight ski tours in the Eastern Sierra backcountry. Overall an amazing pack. Every detail seems to be thought through and the materials and build quality are top notch. Once you’ve dropped weight at camp, the pack straps down really and you barely feel it when you’re out ripping couloirs. This was my first Ortovox pack and I’m now sold on the Litric Tour Avabag and just bought the Peak Light 32 for shorter days in the alpine. Big fan!

This is by far the best multi-day ski touring bag I have ever own. The volume makes packing for multiday traverse easy. All the pack features are superbly design and there is no unnecessary gadget making the pack heavier. Main load takes sleeping back and all guiding extra equipment. The frontal avalanche gear pocket allows to add a snow saw and skins. The 2 lid pockets allow for day food and small item to be easily accessible. The pack carries the heavy load very well (5-7'' with a regular size). The 3/4 zipper makes easy access to items at the bottom of the pack. That said, I would prefer if this one would not go to the pack bottom and only one side minus 4 inches. I would recommend Ortovox to ensure doing intense testing on this zipper. The stress at the pack bottom is high and if this zipper was to break the consequence on a multiday glacier tour would be bad. To mitigate this, I will start carrying a light 60l silk tarp bag to help enclose the internal items if the bag zipper were to fail. The stuff sack is also nice to stash overnight night in a pit while doing a side ski trip. Nicolas Bussieres ACMG Ski Guide, P.Eng.
