The companion for multi-day tours

Versatile, functional and comfortable year-round mountain backpack

Highlights

  • Optimal load distribution
  • Comfortable, well-ventilated back system
  • Robust and sustainable with recycled polyamide

TRAVERSE backpacks are made for use all year round on summits big and small, although the TRAVERSE 40 is best suited to multi-day tours that require a good deal of equipment.

A well-ventilated back system and good load distribution are especially essential in a backpack. Thanks to the ribbed, webbed material and perforated foam in the back pads, the Comfort Contact back system provides excellent air circulation and improved comfort. Ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and a broad hip belt distribute weight evenly across the body.

And when it comes to technical features, the TRAVERSE 40 has plenty to offer: its spacious main compartment, lid pocket and additional bottom compartment offer enough storage space for multi-day tours. Small items can be stowed away quickly in the adjustable front pocket. The TRAVERSE 40 can be opened up completely using the circumferential front zipper, providing a good overview of the equipment inside. Your drink bottles will always be close at hand in the elastic side pockets, as will your map in the special map compartment. An integrated helmet net, hiking pole and ski fastenings, and stowable material loops at the end of the shoulder straps make the TRAVERSE 40 the optimal companion for alpine terrain. Additional features such as hydration system compatibility, rain cover, hip pocket and holders for your sunglasses or camera on the shoulder strap round off this versatile backpack.

In the interests of sustainability, 72% of the outer material is now made of recycled polyamide, which makes the TRAVERSE 40 extremely robust, with the smallest possible ecological footprint. The TRAVERSE 40 is thus ready for long alpine tours that require a good deal of equipment – in summer and in winter.

Bonjour Monsieur Philippe, merci pour votre évaluation. Notre ligne de Traverse est principalement destinée à l'alpinisme en dessous de 3.000 mètres d'altitude. C'est notre classique parmi les sacs à dos et il est apprécié par les alpinistes de tous âges. Nous avons toutefois dans notre gamme des sacs à dos spéciaux pour les alpinistes de haute montagne, qui disposent bien sûr d'une fixation pour piolet : Peak, Peak Light, Trad par exemple.Dans notre catalogue à feuilleter à la page 36, vous trouverez la liste de tous nos modèles de sacs à dos et leurs caractéristiques:https://www.ortovox.com/de-de/service/kataloge   Hello Mr Philippe, thank you for your evaluation. Our Traverse line is mainly intended for mountaineering below 3,000 meters altitude. It's our classic among backpacks and is loved by mountaineers of all ages.

Bonjour Monsieur Robillard, nous n'indiquons pas de poids maximal pour nos sacs à dos. Le poids maximal varie en fonction du volume du sac à dos, car les bretelles et les systèmes dorsaux sont conçus en conséquence. J'espère avoir pu vous aider. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Hello Mr. Robillard, we do not indicate a maximum weight for our backpacks. The maximum weight varies depending on the volume of the backpack, as the shoulder straps and back systems are designed accordingly. I hope I was able to help you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Gut verarbeitet! Reissverschluss sehr gut, Trägersystem ebenfalls. Gute Nähte, gutes Material. Viel Stauraum. Vor allem an beiden Seiten. Ich weiss nicht, warum es Rucksäcke ohne Seitentaschen gibt, ganz ehrlich, aber dieser hier hat welche 👍🏻 Dazu einige Schlaufen hinten (für Hut, Recco usw.) Zwei Taschen (verschliessbar) am Hüftgurt...und schon er ward gekauft 🙌🏻 (in edlem Blau 🥰). Well made! Very good zipper, as is the strap system. Good seams, good material. Lots of storage space. Especially on both sides. I don't know why there are backpacks without side pockets, to be honest, but this one has some 👍🏻 Plus a few loops at the back (for a hat, Recco, etc.) Two pockets (closable) on the hip belt... and it was bought 🙌🏻 (in classy blue 🥰).

This is listed as a mountaineering bag. It's not. It's a hiking bag. There's no attachment point for an ice axe... why not? It would add 2 grams to sew in a tiny loop at the bottom and an ice axe is critical for glacier travel and self-arrest... MAJOR skills needed for mountaineering (but not hiking) There are minimal attachment points on the outside i.e. none... other than the ones for an unnecessary helmet carry which comes housed in an even more useless special pocket. If you insist on adding a helmet carry, lose the pocket. Then speaking of pockets... a laptop sleeve on the inside?! What mountain is anyone bringing a laptop on? This doesn't even have a removable brain for dropping weight during a summit push. Seriously... who designed this and told you it was for mountaineering? Also, lose the mesh bag outer on the back and use some shock cord instead. Far more useful. There's no secure way of securing your boots to the outside either. This is listed as a mountaineering bag.

Hi Pat, thanks for your feedback. The Traverse backpack line is our allround mountaineering backpack. It sounds like for your purpose you might like a different line (like the Peak and Peak light) better. The inside is not a laptop compartment. Also other features you mention like the helmet carry usually receives good feedback. The mesh on the outside is also a feature that most people appreciate. Like I said, I think you would probably like the Peak backpacks more. They also have Ice axe fixation and it is possible to remove the hip belt for example for even more light weight activities.

I find this backpack only useful in summer, as there is nothing to attach ice axes, which is needed even for simple hikes in winter. I would not call this backpack a mountaineering backpack, more like a hiking backpack, but at the same time, it is missing straps needed for multi-day hikes. Otherwise, the quality of the backpack and two-way access to the main compartment is great. Mesh pockets are also great, but after one year of using the backpack, I wonder how long these pockets will last until they tear. I also find it very comfortable to wear on longer hikes.

Ein super Rucksack. Er ist perfekt für das Wandern und Bergsteigen! Ich verstehe die Bewertungen meine Vorredner absolut nicht. Man sieht doch vor dem Kauf schon alleine an den Bildern wie und was sich verstauen lässt. Deshalb Sterne abziehen? Finde ich nicht gut, denn die Qualität, Verarbeitung und der Tragekomfort ist Erstklassig! Preis - Leistung stimmt hier auf alle Fälle! Grüße, der_naturbursch A great backpack. It is perfect for hiking and mountaineering! I absolutely do not understand the reviews of the people before me. You can see how and what can be stored just by looking at the pictures before you buy it. So should I take stars off? I don't think that's a good idea, because the quality, workmanship and comfort are first class! The price-performance ratio is definitely right here! Regards, der_naturbursch
