Osprey Soelden 45L: Your Ultimate Partner for Backcountry Expeditions

Conquer ambitious peaks and explore untracked powder with the Osprey Soelden 45L, a pinnacle of design for serious backcountry touring and mountaineering. Engineered for those who venture further and demand more from their gear, this technical pack provides exceptional stability, intuitive access, and the volume needed for multi-day hut trips or gear-intensive ascents. Its robust, unisex design ensures a comfortable and secure fit for any adult adventurer, making it the definitive choice for your alpine pursuits.

The Soelden 45L is built around a core philosophy of safety and efficiency. When seconds count, the large front panel J-zip provides immediate access to a dedicated avalanche safety kit pocket, with specific sleeves for your probe and shovel handle. This ensures your most critical gear is organized and deployable at a moment´s notice. Accessing your layers, food, or other essentials is just as simple, thanks to the backpanel entry to the main compartment. This clever design allows you to get to your gear without having to unstrap your skis or snowboard, keeping your equipment and the pack´s contents out of the snow.

Key Benefits:

* Uncompromised Stability and Comfort: Experience a superior carry, even when fully loaded with skis and climbing gear. The internal frame suspension system effectively transfers the load to the hipbelt, while the thermoformed, contoured backpanel fits snugly and sheds snow, preventing uncomfortable buildup.
* Versatile Gear Hauling: Adapt to any objective with a comprehensive carry system. The pack offers both A-frame and diagonal ski carry options, as well as vertical and horizontal snowboard carry. A stowable helmet carry system and dual ice tool loops provide secure attachment points for all your essential equipment.
* Intuitive and Rapid Access: Designed for efficiency in the field, the Soelden 45L features glove-friendly buckles and zipper pulls. The top-loading design with a removable top lid and an integrated FlapJacket™ for lidless use offers flexible capacity, while a dedicated top pocket keeps your goggles and small items protected and accessible.
