Explore 40L Backpack delivers maximum capacity for hut trips and extended tours

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"The Explore 40 is my choice for overnights or gear-heavy tours. The extra space is perfect for rope, crampons, and layers, but it still carries comfortably thanks to the ventilated back and wide hip belt. The ski-carry is slick and quick, and I love the base access compartment for skins and boots-out transitions."


When the adventure calls for more gear, the Explore 40L Backpack answers. Built for hut-to-hut traverses, multi-day ski tours, and alpine objectives, this 40-liter pack delivers maximum capacity without weighing us down. At just 1260 grams, it’s impressively light for its size, and the ventilated back panel keeps us cool on the longest ascents.


Purpose-built features include a fast ski-carry system for seamless transitions, a dedicated snow-safety pocket, and a valuables pouch for goggles or essentials. The base quick-access compartment is ideal for crampons, skins, or a water bottle, with a removable divider to expand into one large interior space. With attachment points for helmet, poles, and ice axe, plus a wide hip belt for stability, the Explore 40 is ready for extended alpine missions. Made from 100% recycled, PFAS-free fabric, it combines durability with eco-conscious design.
